Using a Custom Domain Name with Zibster
Every Zibster website comes with a temporary domain so you can start building your site right away. When you're ready to launch your brand, you have flexible options for using a custom domain name.
This guide walks you through the 3 most common domain setup options:
OPTION ONE
I Need to Purchase a New Domain Name
You can register a custom domain (like .com, .net, .org, or .biz) directly through your Zibster account—fast and easy!
Cost:
- $12 one-time registration
- $3.50/month or $42/year for domain renewal (depending on your billing plan)
OPTION TWO
I Want to Use a Domain I Already Own (No Transfer)
If you’ve already registered a domain with a provider like GoDaddy, Google Domains, or Namecheap, you can connect it to your Zibster website at no additional cost.
⚠️ Reminder: If you keep your domain registered with a third party, you’ll need to renew it separately from your Zibster account.
OPTION THREE
I Want to Transfer My Domain to Zibster
Want to simplify things and manage everything in one place? You can transfer your domain registration into Zibster so we take care of renewals and management for you.
Cost:
- $25 one-time transfer fee
- $3.50/month or $42/year for domain renewal (depending on your billing plan)
