Docs / Custom builds
Hosting included with a build
A build includes the first two months of hosting and one domain for the first year, registered in your name, with no obligation to stay after that.
On this page
A custom build is paid once, and two things come with it that are otherwise part of a plan. Neither commits you to anything afterwards.
The two months of hosting#
Hosting is part of the build fee rather than a separate line.
- The first two months are included with the build.
- It is the same hosting a plan gets - SSL that renews itself and Cloudflare's network in front of the site.
- After those two months you either start a plan or take the site anywhere else.
- We help you move it either way. Leaving is not a support ticket we drag our feet on.
The domain#
One domain for the first year is included.
- We register it in your name, never ours.
- It covers an ordinary .com, .com.au or .au at standard registration price.
- A premium name, or one somebody already owns, is quoted separately.
- Renewal after the first year is yours, at your registrar, on your card.
Bringing a domain you already have#
If you already own one, nothing changes about it.
- The registration stays where it is, in your name at your registrar.
- We never hold it.
- The steps are on connect a domain you already own.
What is not included#
Two things people reasonably expect and should not.
- Buying domains from us as a product on its own is not open yet. The included one is part of a build, not a shop.
- Hosting past the two months is a plan, priced on the pricing page.
When the two months are up#
Three ways it can go, and all three are normal.
- Start a plan and nothing about the site changes.
- Move it to your own host. Ask for the export and we send it.
- Hand it to another agency. The perpetual licence you got at handover covers that.
