Search for and register a new domain directly from the Brimble dashboard. Purchased domains use Brimble’s nameservers by default, so DNS works without additional setup.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Brimble account.
  • A payment method on file. Add one under Billing → Payment methods before starting.

​
Search for a domain

  1. Open the dashboard.
  2. Go to Domains → Buy a domain.
  3. Enter the name you want to register. If you don’t include a TLD, Brimble appends .com automatically.
  4. The results list shows availability across 30+ TLDs (.com, .io, .dev, .app, .ai, .co, and more) with their first-year prices.
When a TLD is on a discount, the result shows the saving (for example, “save up to 20%”).

​
Buy the domain

Click Buy on the result you want. The purchase form asks for: Renewal prices may differ from the first-year price, the form shows both. Confirm the totals, then click Buy.

The purchase is processed immediately. The domain shows up under Domains with a “Purchased from Brimble” indicator and a Status: Active badge once registration confirms.

​
After purchase

A purchased domain comes with:
  • Brimble nameservers set automatically. You can manage DNS records in the dashboard right away.
  • A default .brimble.app redirect not attached. The domain isn’t routed anywhere until you attach it to a project.
  • WHOIS privacy applied if you toggled it on.
  • Auto-renewal flagged per your selection.
To attach the domain to a project, see Add a custom domain. The flow is the same as bringing a domain you already own, pick a project, optionally set up a redirect.

​
Renew a domain

Domains that come up for renewal appear in Domains with an expiry banner:
  • Yellow, expires within 7 days. Renew soon button visible.
  • Red, already expired. DNS edits are blocked until you renew.
To renew (manually or in advance):
  1. Open the domain.
  2. Click Renew.
  3. Pick a duration (1–10 years).
  4. Toggle auto-renewal if you want it on for next time.
  5. Confirm.
The card on file is charged immediately. The expiry date moves forward by the selected duration. If a domain on auto-renewal fails to renew (declined card, expired card), Brimble fires a domain.renewal_failed webhook and surfaces a warning on the domain page. Update the payment method and click Renew to retry.

​
Troubleshooting

Domain shows “Failed” instead of “Active.” Registration failed at the registrar. Common causes: payment didn’t clear, name violates registry policy, registrant email blocked. Open the domain to see the failure message; payment failures auto-refund. Bought a domain but it’s not showing up. Reload the Domains page. New registrations land within seconds; if it’s been more than a minute, contact support with the order timestamp. Privacy toggle was off when I bought it. Open the domain and toggle privacy on. Some TLDs don’t support privacy at all, the toggle is hidden in that case.
