Whether your nonprofit has already built its website on Springly or is just getting started, you may be wondering how to get your own domain name. This article explains how to have Springly handle it for you (paid option).
If you already own a domain name, see the article Connecting your website to a domain name you own.
Accessing the Domain Name management panel
From your administration area, go to Website > Settings and theme > Domain Name.
You will then be redirected to this page. Select the option I don't own a domain name.
Getting a domain name
Enter your desired domain name (e.g., mynonprofit.org), then check that it is valid and available.
The domain name you want may already be taken. In that case, we won't be able to purchase it on your behalf. Try variations by changing the extension (.com, .org, .info, .net, …) or the name itself (mynonprofit.org, my-nonprofit.org, …).
Note: Domain extensions follow specific rules and can't be chosen arbitrarily — they depend on your geographic location or type of activity. The most common extensions internationally are .com (for commercial activities), .net (for network-related organizations), and .org (for nonprofits and non-governmental organizations). For more details, see our article: Understanding and choosing your domain name extension.
We do not offer email addresses linked to your domain (e.g., contact@mynonprofit.org), FTP server access, or custom page redirects. If you need any of these, you'll need to purchase a domain through your own provider and select the option I already own a domain name.
Confirming your domain name
If your domain name is valid and available, confirm the request and we'll handle the purchase and setup within 72 business hours.
The purchase, setup, and management (annual renewal) of your domain name is billed at $20/year.
If you ever decide to leave our platform and cancel your subscription (we hope not!), we will no longer manage your domain name.
