How much does a domain cost?

Usually a few thousand francs a year, paid to a registrar. That yearly name fee is the only necessary cost — your hosting can still be free. It is the cheapest upgrade to looking professional.

Do I need technical skills to connect a domain?

It involves updating a couple of settings to point the name at your hosting. It is straightforward once shown, and a one-time task. We can do it for you or walk you through it in a few minutes.

How to get a custom domain for your business, cheaply

October 27, 2026·By Kaevor·5 min read·Web

A custom domain (yourbusiness.com) is the one part of a free setup worth paying for — it is cheap (a few thousand francs a year) and makes you look established and trustworthy. You buy the name once a year from a registrar and point it at your free hosting. The hosting stays free; only the name costs, and it is small.

You can host for free, but a custom domain — yourbusiness.com instead of a free sub-address — is the one small cost worth paying. It is what makes a business look established, and it is cheap.

What a domain is and costs

A domain is your address on the web, rented yearly from a registrar — usually a few thousand francs a year. That is the whole cost; your hosting can still be free. A professional domain also lets you have proper email addresses (you@yourbusiness.com).

How to connect it

Buy the name from a domain registrar (a yearly fee)
Point it at your free hosting by updating a couple of settings
Wait a short while for it to take effect worldwide
Optionally set up email addresses on your domain

For us: We help you choose and register the right domain, connect it to your free hosting, and set up professional email — so you look established for a few thousand francs a year, not a monthly hosting bill.
