Buy and manage domains directly in Lovable without manually configuring domain records. Domains bought through Lovable belong to your workspace, not to a single project. To point a domain you already own at your project instead, see Connect a domain from another provider. You need to be a workspace admin or owner to buy and connect a domain through Lovable.

​
Buy a domain

You can buy a domain for a project or for your workspace, and the difference is one field during checkout:
  • Connect it to a project now. Buying from a project’s Domains settings connects the domain to that project automatically. Buying from Workspace settings lets you choose the project under Connect to project. The domain becomes that project’s primary domain, replacing one you set earlier.
  • Connect it later. From Workspace settings → Workspace domains, leave Connect to project empty. You can also ask Lovable in Chats or the project chat to buy a domain for the workspace alone. Connect it to a project whenever you are ready, from Project → Settings → Domains under Connect a workspace domain.

Review your order

Review and adjust the details of your purchase before checkout.You can edit:
  • Term length
    Choose how many years to register the domain. The dropdown shows 1 year term by default, and most domain extensions allow up to 10 years. Multi-year registration may offer cost savings.
  • Auto-renew
    Enabled by default and recommended. When enabled, your domain renews automatically before it expires using your saved payment method. You’ll be charged the renewal price shown at the time of purchase (subject to change based on registrar pricing).
  • Registration details
    Required contact information for domain registration, see next step.
  • Connect to project (optional)
    This option is only available when buying from Workspace settings → Workspace domains.
    Choose a project to connect the domain to after registration completes, or leave it empty to buy the domain as a standalone workspace domain and connect it later.
Buying from Project → Settings → Domains connects the domain to the current project. In Chats or the project chat, specify whether you want to connect a project or register the domain for the workspace only.

Enter your registration details

  • Enter your registration details required by ICANN (the organization that manages domain registration worldwide). To update them later, open the domain in Workspace settings → Workspace domains and edit the Contact information section.
  • Click Save.
ICANN requires you to verify your registrant email address.
  • If the email you provided matches your verified Lovable account email, verification is handled automatically.
  • Otherwise, you receive a verification email and must click the link within 15 days to confirm ownership and avoid suspension. Open the domain in Workspace settings → Workspace domains to see registration alerts and follow the verification instructions. After 15 days, the registrar can suspend the domain.
WHOIS privacy protection is enabled automatically for domain extensions that support it. After purchase, open the domain in Workspace settings → Workspace domains, open the three dots menu on the Lovable manages registration card, and select WHOIS privacy to change it.

​
After you buy

When your payment is confirmed, you’re redirected back to Lovable and a progress dialog tracks the registration. Lovable automatically:
  • Registers the domain on your behalf
    While registration runs, the domain shows Registering domain in Workspace settings → Workspace domains.
  • Configures DNS records
    A records are created automatically. A domain bought through Lovable needs no verification TXT record, because the registration itself proves that you own the domain.
  • Sets up SSL/HTTPS
    Your domain gets a free SSL certificate, so your site is served securely.
  • Connects the domain to a project (if you selected one)
    Lovable sets up both yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com and groups them in one row. When both are active, the row shows Active and www included.
After a purchase in Workspace settings → Workspace domains, click Manage domain in the progress dialog to open the domain’s detail page. To connect a domain you bought without a project, see Buy a domain. To use a subdomain instead of the root domain, open Project → Settings → Domains and click Connect or Connect domain. Enter the full subdomain, such as app.yourdomain.com, and follow the dialog to connect that address. Domain setup usually finishes within 30 minutes, but can take up to a day. Follow the progress in Project → Settings → Domains, where the domain shows its current status, or ask Lovable in the project chat. While setup runs, the Publish dialog shows the domain under the website URL with a note that it is still being set up. When the domain becomes Active, the dialog shows it as the website URL instead of the lovable.app address.
After your domain becomes Active, run an SEO review and verify the domain in Google Search Console.This helps Lovable check indexing, canonical URLs, sitemap status, metadata, and other live-site SEO signals for the correct host.

​
Manage the domain after you buy it

Domains you buy belong to your workspace, not to a single project. From the domain’s detail page, workspace admins and owners can:
  • Renew the domain, or enable and disable auto-renew
  • Enable and disable WHOIS privacy
  • Edit the registration contact details
  • Move the domain to another workspace, or transfer it out to another registrar
See Manage workspace domains. To add your own DNS records, or to point the domain at your own nameservers, see Where do I add or edit DNS records? If the domain shows a problem after setup, check what its status means in Domain statuses. Lovable maintains this domain’s records, so the fix is usually Check again rather than a change at a DNS provider.

FAQ

These questions cover buying a domain and managing its registration. For domain statuses, primary domains, and project connections, see Set up a custom domain.
Yes. You can buy a domain for your workspace without connecting a project. See Buy a domain for the steps.Buying from a project’s Domains settings connects the domain to that project automatically.
We support most major generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and a limited set of country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).Supported ccTLDs:
Most ccTLDs only appear when you include the extension in your search, for example, brand.uk.Availability and pricing vary by extension.
.si (Slovenia) domains differ from most other extensions in three ways:
  • You can register a .si domain for up to 5 years.
  • A new .si domain can take up to 2 hours to become Active after you buy it.
  • You cannot transfer a .si domain to Lovable from another registrar.
Lovable retries the registration automatically, up to three attempts. What happens next depends on the outcome:
  • The registrar refuses the name, or Lovable confirms it was never registered. Your payment is refunded automatically.
  • Lovable cannot confirm whether the name was registered. The domain shows Review needed and the purchase waits for support instead of being refunded. Contact Lovable Support.
Your domain stops serving traffic, but it is in the registrar’s redemption grace period (around 30 days), where it can still be recovered with support help. After that, it’s released and may become available to anyone.
Yes.
  1. Go to Workspace settings → Workspace domains.
  2. Open the domain.
  3. Find the Contact information section.

Go to Workspace settings → Workspace domains, open the domain, and select Transfer out from the three dots menu on the Lovable manages registration card.In the Transfer out dialog:
  1. Turn off the Transfer lock switch. The lock is on by default and marks your domain as protected.
  2. Click Reveal authorization code to get the EPP code, then provide it to your new registrar. The button stays disabled until the transfer lock is off. Generating a new code invalidates any previous one, so only the most recently generated code will work.
Lovable tracks the transfer status and automatically disconnects the domain from any connected projects when the transfer completes.60-day lock on new domains: if the domain is within 60 days of registration, the transfer lock switch is disabled. ICANN requires this lock on new domains and Lovable cannot override it. The dialog shows the exact date the domain becomes eligible for transfer.See the next FAQ for what happens once the transfer finishes.
When the transfer out completes at the registrar, Lovable automatically disconnects the domain from any project it was connected to. The domain remains visible in Workspace settings → Workspace domains but is marked as transferred out and can no longer serve traffic from Lovable.After the transfer:
  • Update DNS records at your new registrar to point your domain where you want it to resolve.
  • If you want to keep using the domain with a Lovable project, reconnect it as a domain from another provider.
Transferring a domain out is irreversible from Lovable’s side. Connected projects stop serving traffic on that domain as soon as the transfer out completes.
