# Using your own domain or registering a new one

Your site starts on a **free temporary address**. Add a domain whenever you are ready.

**A domain you already own** (included)

1. Tell us the domain (reply to our e-mail or open a ticket).
2. We e-mail you the exact DNS record to add at your domain's registrar: one DNS change.
3. When the record works, we connect the domain to your site and set up its SSL certificate.

DNS changes can take a few hours to spread.

**A new domain registered for you** (priced separately)

1. We e-mail you the price before we register anything.
2. You pay it as a separate order.
3. We register the domain **in your name** (you are the registrant) and manage it for you, then connect it to your site with its SSL certificate.
4. Its yearly renewal is invoiced to you separately.

A domain we registered for you is not refundable once registered, because the registration fee goes to the registry.
