How to buy a domain through Tiiny Host

If you don't already own a domain, you can buy one through Tiiny Host and we'll connect it automatically. There's no DNS setup on your end.

Available on Solo and above, and only if you pay by card. We charge the card on your account, or ask you for a card if there isn't one on file.

If you pay with PayPal, UPI or Paytm, you can't buy a domain through us. You can still connect a domain you already own. A free trial can't buy a domain either. You'll be asked to upgrade. Domains you buy count towards your plan's custom domain limit.

Already own a domain? See How to connect a domain you already own instead.

Step 1 — Start the purchase

Go to tiiny.host/manage and log in.
Scroll to the Custom Domains section and click Add new.
Click Purchase a domain.

Step 2 — Search for your domain

Enter the domain name you'd like and click Search for domain.

If it's available, you'll see it listed with the price. If it's taken, we'll suggest similar alternatives you can choose from instead.

Step 3 — Buy it

Select the domain you want from the list.
Click the price and continue through to payment.

Domain purchases are non-refundable.

Step 4 — We connect it for you

Once payment completes we add the DNS records automatically. Your domain will be ready to use shortly after.

Step 5 — Verify your email address

Within a few minutes you'll get an email asking you to verify the contact address for your new domain. Click the link in it. You need to do this within 15 days, or the domain will be suspended and stop working. Check your spam folder if you can't see it.

If you can't find it, see Why did the domain I bought through Tiiny Host stop working?

Renewal and auto-renew

Domains renew every year. The renewal price is shown when you buy. We charge the card on your account.

To stop a domain renewing, find it in the Custom Domains section and choose Turn off auto-renew. You'll be shown the date your domain will be deleted. To change your mind, choose Turn on auto-renew in the same place.

You can't delete a domain you bought through us from your dashboard. Turning off auto-renew is how you let it go.
