# Hosting included with a build

> A build includes the first two months of hosting and one domain for the first year, registered in your name, with no obligation to stay after that.

---

A custom build is paid once, and two things come with it that are otherwise part of a plan. Neither commits you to anything afterwards.

## The two months of hosting

Hosting is part of the build fee rather than a separate line.

- **The first two months are included** with the build.
- **It is the same hosting a plan gets** - SSL that renews itself and Cloudflare's network in front of the site.
- **After those two months** you either start a plan or take the site anywhere else.
- **We help you move it either way.** Leaving is not a support ticket we drag our feet on.

## The domain

One domain for the first year is included.

- **We register it in your name**, never ours.
- **It covers an ordinary .com, .com.au or .au** at standard registration price.
- **A premium name, or one somebody already owns**, is quoted separately.
- **Renewal after the first year is yours**, at your registrar, on your card.

## Bringing a domain you already have

If you already own one, nothing changes about it.

- **The registration stays where it is**, in your name at your registrar.
- **We never hold it.**
- **The steps are on [connect a domain you already own](/docs/hosting/connect-a-domain-you-already-own/).**

## What is not included

Two things people reasonably expect and should not.

- **Buying domains from us as a product on its own is not open yet.** The included one is part of a build, not a shop.
- **Hosting past the two months** is a plan, priced on the [pricing page](/pricing/).

## When the two months are up

Three ways it can go, and all three are normal.

- **Start a plan** and nothing about the site changes.
- **Move it to your own host.** Ask for the export and we send it.
- **Hand it to another agency.** The perpetual licence you got at handover covers that.
