Your domain, your account

Buy your domain.
Give me access to connect it.

Your domain is your website’s address. Buy it in your own account, then share the settings I need to get your website online.

  1. 01

    Choose and buy the address.

    Create your own account at Namecheap. Search for the name you want, check its spelling, and compare both the registration price and the renewal price.

    Choose a registration term, use your own contact details, and finish checkout. Check which currency the registrar is charging. You don’t need to buy a website builder or hosting package for me to build your site. Ask me before adding extras you’re unsure about.

  2. 02

    Keep the account in your name.

    Complete any verification emails from the registrar. Keep your login and recovery details somewhere safe, enable two-factor authentication, and make a plan for renewal. Your domain registration is separate from the $100 website.

  3. 03

    Open the domain’s sharing settings.

    In Namecheap, go to Domain List, select Manage beside your domain, then open Sharing & Transfer.

    Find Share Access. Enter Drewwalsh in New Manager, then choose Add.

  4. 04

    Share only the settings needed.

    Choose permission to manage DNS settings, which connect your address to the site. If nameserver access is needed for your setup, I’ll let you know. Keep ownership, transfer and unrelated settings under your control.

    Confirm inside Namecheap with your own account password. Use Share Access; there’s no need to use Change Ownership.

  5. 05

    Let me know it’s ready.

    Send me the domain name and say you’ve invited Drewwalsh. I’ll accept the invitation if needed and connect the site. Tell me if you already use the domain for email so those settings can be preserved.

    You can later review or remove my access in the same sharing section.

Sharing steps checked against Namecheap’s official sharing guide. That guide also has screenshots if the menus look unfamiliar.

Want me to purchase it?

Five years.
Paid upfront.

I only purchase a domain on a customer’s behalf when the full cost of a five-year registration term is paid upfront. The domain cost is separate from the $100 website.

Send me the address you want. I’ll confirm availability and the five-year price before you pay. Otherwise, buy it yourself and follow the sharing steps above.

Already have a domain?

Keep it. If it’s at Namecheap, start at step 3. If it’s with another registrar, tell me which one and we’ll use its access-sharing process or I’ll give you the records to enter.

What gets renewed?

The domain has a registration expiry date. Buying a website doesn’t renew the address. Keep your registrar’s contact and payment details current and check its renewal notices.
