Account Activation
An active DNSimple account is required to register or transfer domain names and provide DNS resolution through DNSimple.
Activation is easy, and all new Teams and Solo subscriptions include a free 30-day trial. You can cancel at any time during your 30-day trial without being charged. During the course of your trial, you can change plans to try different features.
The 30-day free trial does not apply to accounts that were previously subscribed to DNSimple. If you are resubscribing, your credit card will be billed immediately.
If you manage domains for a large organization or are a domain reseller, contact our sales team to learn how our Enterprise plan can be customized to fit your needs.
Activating your account
If you have not created your account yet, follow these instructions. You can select a plan and activate your account when signing up, or wait and activate your account later.
- After creating your account, log in, and click Select a plan on your dashboard.
- Choose the plan that fits your needs, and click Get started.
- Enter your payment information, and click Start my free trial to activate your account. The card on file will not be charged until your free trial has ended.
- After confirming your payment information, you will see a Get started screen. Choose one of the provided options, or click Skip to dashboard.
Your account is now active. Once you add domains and activate the zones, they will start responding to DNS queries immediately. Any domains registered elsewhere can be updated to use DNSimple’s name servers.
