Buying a new web address through SiteDrop

Don't have a domain yet? Buy one through SiteDrop at checkout and it's connected to your site for you.

Don't have a web address yet? You can buy one through SiteDrop and it's connected to your site for you — no separate domain provider to set up.

Buy a domain

  1. Open Sites in your dashboard and click the site you want the domain to point at.
  2. Go to its Domain tab and choose Buy a new one.
  3. Search for the web address you want.
  4. Pick an available one. The price is shown at checkout before you pay.
  5. Complete checkout, and SiteDrop connects it to your site.

Warning — Buying a domain starts your billing today. If you're not ready for that, connect a domain you already own instead.

Already own a domain elsewhere? You don't need to buy another — connect the one you own. New to how domains work? Start with domains and DNS explained.

Point a web address you already own at your SiteDrop site so visitors see your own domain.
