Do custom domain names cost extra?

If you've already purchased your domain name from somewhere, you can connect it to your Siimple site for free. Here are the steps on how to do that โ†’

If you need to purchased a new custom domain name, for example, something like http://mypersonalwebsite.com then you have two options:

โœ… Option 1: (Recommend)

You can purchase a domain name directly from us! We don't up-charge for this. You just pay the price that the domain registrar charges us. You can search for a domain name and see whether or not it's available and it's current market price based on the cost from common registrars. Your domain name will be charged annually. By purchasing through us, your domain name is connected the fastest and easiest way!

Option 2:

You can purchase your domain name from anywhere you'd like. This however does involve a few extra steps as you will need to find a registrar, create your account with them and purchase your domain through them. Afterwards, you will have to do few technical things in order to point that domain from the registrar to your Siimple website.

โš ๏ธ Please be aware that this option can also take up to 24 hours before the registrar fully sets your domain and makes it available for your site.

We can help walk you through any of these steps via live chat if you get stuck! Just note that we cannot set records for you or on your behalf if you purchase your domain from another provider as they will not allow us to do so for security reasons.
