If you don’t already own a domain name, you can register one through your Author Websites dashboard by visiting the Domain page and selecting “I want to choose a new domain”.
We charge $15/year for domain registration. If you subscribe to a Pro plan with annual billing, you get the first year of domain registration free. Learn more about subscription plans and costs.
What should I choose for my domain name?
Typically, authors use their name in their domain. For example:
However, you can choose any available domain name for your website. The search field in your dashboard will inform you whether the domain name you want to use is available.
Can I change my domain once I’ve registered it?
If you decide you’d like to replace your domain name and register a new one, please reach out to our team at authorwebsites@bookbub.com. It will cost $15 to register a new domain.
I registered a domain through my dashboard and no longer want to host my website with Author Websites. What happens to my domain?
We can transfer ownership of your domain to you beginning 60 days after your domain was registered. Please note that a domain transfer may incur a fee from the domain registrar you decide to use. If you don’t want to transfer your domain, we will release it one year after its registration date, after which time it will again be available for registration. Reach out to us at authorwebsites@bookbub.com and we’ll work with you to get your domain transferred.
