# New domain registration

A domain is the address of your website or gallery, for example, **mydomain.ru***.* Clients use this address to open your website and access the content.

After signing up for Wfolio, you get a free domain in the format **youremail.wfolio.pro.** You can use it or connect your own domain — this makes your website more recognizable and increases client trust.

**Already bought a domain from a registrar?** Go to the guide [**"Connecting an existing domain"**](/getting-started/en/domain/existing-domain.md)
{% endhint %}

#### How to choose a good domain <a href="#id-381840e8-9cb7-4dcf-ad81-6ba605507519" id="id-381840e8-9cb7-4dcf-ad81-6ba605507519"></a>

When choosing a domain, focus on simplicity and recognition.

* Use **short and clear words** — the domain should be easy to read and remember.
* Repeat your brand name or personal name when possible.
* Avoid complex abbreviations, numbers, and multiple hyphens.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Check the domain name before payment — **you cannot change it after registration**. If you need a different name, you will have to buy a new domain.

#### Registering a new domain <a href="#eed8b3d6-9193-40ea-9078-1a0b412112e2" id="eed8b3d6-9193-40ea-9078-1a0b412112e2"></a>

Go to [**"Domain"**](https://wfolio.pro/my/settings/domain)  and click **"Connect domain"**.

Enter the domain name and click **"Select"**. If the domain shows the **"Unavailable"** status, it has already been registered and cannot be purchased.

Choose a domain in the required zone and pay for it. After payment, the domain connects automatically within a few hours.

Old links with the **.wfolio.pro** address will keep working and will lead to the new domain.

**Can I change the domain after purchase?**

**Will links keep working after changing the domain?**

Yes, if you connect a new paid domain instead of the old one, links will automatically redirect to the new address until the previous domain registration expires.

**Do I need to pay for the domain separately?**

Yes, the domain is paid separately from the plan.

**Can I connect a domain for free?**

Yes. After registration, a free address in the format `youremail.wfolio.pro` is connected automatically. If needed, you can replace it with another free address.

**Do I need to pay for hosting separately?**

No. You only pay for the plan and the domain. Hosting is included in the service and is not billed separately.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wfolio.pro/getting-started/en/domain/new.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
