A domain and hosting for your business - buy one, connect yours, or get a .com free
With WebWave you can register a new domain, get a .com domain free for the first year with any yearly plan, connect a domain you already own, or transfer it to us. Hosting, SSL and business email are included in every plan, and you manage all of it in one panel.
Buy a domain name for your website
You can register a new domain directly in the Business Panel, usually in a few minutes. A .com domain is free for the first year with any yearly plan. You pick other extensions in the panel, where you see the current price before you buy.
Pick an extension that fits your business. A .com is the default for US companies and the one customers type without thinking. Use .net or .org if your .com is taken or you run a non-profit, and .info or .biz for side projects or campaign pages.
Which extension should you choose?
- .com - the safest choice for most businesses. Free for the first year with a yearly plan.
- .net - a good alternative when the .com you want is taken.
- .org - for non-profits, associations and community projects.
- .biz, .info - for side projects, campaigns and information pages.
- .eu - for businesses that sell across the European Union.
How to choose a good domain name
- Short and easy to say over the phone.
- No hyphens or numbers, if you can avoid them.
- Matches your business name or what you do.
- Checked against other brands' trademarks.
Get a free .com domain with a yearly plan
Every yearly WebWave plan, including One Pager, comes with a .com domain free for the first year.
A free domain saves you money and one extra account. Instead of buying a domain from a separate registrar and then pointing it at your site, you manage your website, domain and business email in one place.
The free first year applies to .com domains. Other extensions (.net, .org, .biz, .info, .eu) you register in the Business Panel at the current price.
What happens after the first year?
After the first year, you can renew the domain in the Business Panel. If you pay by card, it renews automatically. If not, you renew it manually in the Business Panel. There are no hidden fees, and you're not obliged to renew.
Connect a domain you already own
If your domain is registered with another provider (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace Domains, Google Workspace, Cloudflare), you can connect it to your WebWave site in 4 steps. You keep your domain where it is and don't lose your Google rankings. DNS changes take up to 24 hours to spread across the internet, and your site may be unavailable for part of that time.
- Log in to the Business Panel, open Site settings and go to the Addresses tab.
- Choose "Connect your domain" and enter the domain you own.
- Copy the WebWave name servers: ns1.webwave.me and ns2.webwave.me.
- Paste them into the DNS settings at your domain provider.
That's it. WebWave doesn't need access to your registrar account - you only change the DNS settings on your side.
Keeping your email with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365? Instead of changing name servers, point only the A records (with and without www) to 79.133.210.186 and leave your MX records untouched. Your website moves to WebWave, your inbox stays where it is.

Transfer your domain to WebWave
Transferring a domain to WebWave means you manage your domain and website in one panel. A .com or .net transfer usually takes 6-7 business days. It doesn't affect your Google visibility or your business email.
When is a transfer worth it?
A transfer makes sense when you want fewer accounts to manage. Instead of logging in to a separate registrar every time a renewal is due, everything sits in one place. It's a convenience, not a requirement - connecting your domain works just as well.
How the transfer works - 4 steps:
- Unlock the domain at your current registrar and get the authorization code (also called an auth code or EPP code).
- Message our support team - we'll guide you through the process.
- Confirm the transfer using the link we send to your email address.
- The domain appears in your WebWave panel, usually within 6-7 business days.
One thing to check first: under ICANN rules, registrars can refuse to transfer a .com during the first 60 days after it was registered or last transferred. If your domain is newer than that, connect it now and transfer it later.
What about SEO during a transfer?
A transfer doesn't change your site's address or content, so Google doesn't lose any ranking signals. Your site stays online the whole time.
What you get with a domain in WebWave
A domain in WebWave is more than a web address. Every plan includes hosting, a free SSL certificate and business email on your own domain (for example, hello@yourbusiness.com). The number of mailboxes depends on the plan: 1 on One Pager, 5 on Pro, 20 on Business.
4 things you get with your domain:
Your own web address
yourbusiness.com instead of yourbusiness.webwave.dev looks professional and gives you a better start in Google.
Business email
a mailbox on your own domain, included in your plan. You email customers as hello@yourbusiness.com, not as a Gmail or Yahoo address.
SSL certificate
free on every plan. Your site runs on HTTPS, which Google expects and visitors trust.

FAQ
Got questions? We have answers.
Buy any WebWave plan billed yearly, including One Pager. A .com domain is then free for the first year. You register it yourself in the Business Panel, right after buying the plan or at any time later.
The free first year applies to .com domains. Other extensions, such as .net, .org or .eu, you register in the Business Panel at the current price.
Hosting and a free .com domain for the first year come together in every yearly WebWave plan. During the 14-day free trial, your site is published on a free webwave.dev address; you can connect your own domain once you choose a plan.
A new domain registered in WebWave is usually active within a few minutes. In rare cases it can take up to 24 hours.
Your name, postal address, email and phone number. If you're registering for a company, add the business name. ICANN requires registration details for .com, .net and .org domains to be accurate, so use contact details you actually check - renewal and transfer emails go there.
When the domain expires, your site and email on that domain stop working. You can still renew it within 30 days of expiry, with an additional reactivation fee. After that, the domain may be released and anyone can register it; the exact timing depends on the extension. The simplest safeguard is automatic renewal with card payment.
Yes. If your domain is registered with another provider (for example GoDaddy, Namecheap or Squarespace Domains), you connect it to your WebWave site by changing its DNS settings. You don't have to transfer the domain.
A .com or .net transfer usually takes 6-7 business days. Your site keeps working and your business email isn't interrupted during the transfer. Domains registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually can't be transferred yet.
Yes. A custom domain (for example yourbusiness.com) builds authority in search more effectively than a platform subdomain (for example yourbusiness.webwave.dev). Every link and mention you earn stays with your brand, and you keep it if you ever change platforms.
Every WebWave plan lets you create mailboxes on your own domain. The number depends on the plan: 1 on One Pager, 5 on Pro, 20 on Business. You can create addresses like hello@yourbusiness.com, sales@yourbusiness.com or jane.smith@yourbusiness.com.
