3. Can I have more than one personal domain point at my wedding website?

No, each wedding website can only have one personal domain at a time. If there's a problem with your domain, contact Customer Service.

4. I've already sent my free wedding website address to my friends and family. If I buy a personal domain, will that link still work?

Yes, your free URL will continue to point your guests to your new purchased domain. No worries!

5. I searched for a domain, but the domain name I want is taken! Is there any way to get it?

If the search says it's already registered, then it's not available. Try searching for another domain (check some creative custom domain ideas below for some inspo!).

6. I already own a domain that I'd like to use with my personal wedding website. Can you set that up for me?

If you registered your domain through a third party registrar such as GoDaddy or Register.com, you'll need to set up domain name forwarding through your registrar. To do so, you will need to contact or log into your registrar's domain management tool to redirect your own domain to your Personal wedding website free address. You can find your website's free address at the top of your dashboard.

7. The domain I registered isn't the one I want! Can I get my money back?

Sorry, we are unable to give refunds once a domain has been registered. If you have any problems with your domain and want to remove it, or you want to purchase another one, please contact Customer Service.

10. I spelled something wrong while registering my domain, or I want to change my domain for any reason after purchase. What can I do?

If you have spelled the domain incorrectly or would like to choose a new one we can "park" the domain and email our IT Department to unlink the domain from your account. Once the domain is unlinked, you can then purchase the new domain.

Please be advised that we will not issue a refund for the domain you had originally purchased.

If you wish to unlink your domain, please contact Customer Service and advise if you want us to "park" the domain.

11. Do the custom domains renew automatically after the first year? Will I ever be charged again without my consent?

Domains purchased for your wedding website will not renew automatically. We will give you warning before it expires and you'll have plenty of time to renew! We will never charge your card without your consent.

12. How much does it cost to renew? How long do renewals last?

The cost of renewing your domain is the same as your initial purchase: $19.99 per year. Renewals last at least one year.

13. I accidentally let my domain expire! What will happen to my wedding website?

If your domain expires, your wedding website will revert back to its original free address. You won't lose any information and your wedding website will remain intact. You can see the address of your wedding website on your dashboard.
