# Buy a domain through Buildy

The easiest way to get a domain is to buy it in Buildy. Search for a name under **Domain & Email** and click **Purchase**. Buildy connects your site and sets up email sending and your first included `hello@` inbox. You do not need to change DNS settings.

Use email sending for customer follow-ups and marketing emails from your domain. Your business inbox receives customer emails. You choose when to start a campaign.

## Steps

1. Open **Domain & Email** from **Dashboard**, or **Tools** on a phone.
2. Under **Buy a domain through Buildy**, type a name like `example.com` and click **Search**. Type just a word to see every ending, or click **Get suggestions** beside **Search** for ideas.
3. When you see "is available" and the yearly price, click **Purchase**. Pay with your saved card or in the checkout that opens.
4. Wait while the status goes from **Verifying Payment** to **Setting Up**. This usually takes under a minute.
5. Your domain has a **Buildy domain** label and shows as **Verified**. Click **Publish & Share** to put your site on it.

Your first included inbox is created automatically. Open **Email inbox** to see its DNS status and use **Open Inbox** when it is active. If this project already has an inbox, Buildy keeps it. See [Set up your email inbox](/docs/domains-email/email-inbox).

Your **Temporary site address** ending in `superdev.run` stays available while setup finishes. Click the address to open your site in a new tab, or use **Copy link** to share it.

## Prices and renewal

Domains start at $29.95 a year. The price for each name shows in the search. Pro, Max and Agency plans include a coupon for up to $29.95 off the first year of one domain. The domain renews every year at the full price on your saved card.

## Common problems

### Buildy says it can't register that ending

Some endings are not sold through Buildy. Try the same name with `.com`, `.net`, `.co` or another ending.

### "Setup Failed"

The payment went through but the domain did not finish setting up. Open **Chat with support** and give the domain name.

### I want to stop the renewal or move the domain

See [Stop a domain renewal](/docs/domains-email/stop-renewal-or-transfer).
