Creating a new account

You can sign up and explore how to manage domains in DNSimple without activating your account. Once you click Join DNSimple, your account will be created.

Note

You’ll need to choose a plan and provide payment details to activate your account, register domains, and add records.

To sign up:

  1. Go to DNSimple, and click Get Started or Try free for 30 days. Both links will take you to the signup page.
  2. Fill in your details, and select Join DNSimple. Your account has now been created. You can log in and explore the app before choosing a plan.
  3. Fill out the How Will You Use DNSimple? form.
  4. You’ll be taken to the plan selection page. You can choose a plan immediately, or wait and decide later. When you’re ready to activate your account, follow these instructions.
  5. A verification email will be sent to the address you signed up with. Click the link in the email to verify your address.

Until your email address is verified, some sensitive actions will be unavailable, including subscribing to a plan, registering or transferring domains, and purchasing SSL certificates. Check your inbox and complete the verification to get full access to your account.

Note

Verification links expire after 7 days. If yours has expired, you can request a new one from your user settings page.
