# Buying a domain

> Register a domain inside Telegram, from $5/year

Registration happens entirely inside Telegram — no verification, no email confirmation, no external account portal. One unified catalog, \~110 zones, from **\$5/year**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the bot">
    [@lumibp\_bot](https://t.me/lumibp_bot) → pick a language.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter a name">
    **New domain** → type a name one of three ways:

    * **Bare label** (`mysite`) → the bot shows a zone picker with prices (`com $17`); tap a zone → straight to payment.
    * **Full domain** (`mysite.com`) → straight to payment.
    * **List** (several domains, one per line) → registered as a single batch.

    A zone we don't sell is flagged with alternatives. There's no cart and no separate "Buy" confirm — the name takes you straight to payment.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pass the name check">
    Before payment the bot screens the name against Google Safe Browsing and scam/wallet blocklists. If it's flagged, you get a warning with **Yes, register anyway** or **Cancel**. Clean names pass this step silently.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay">
    If your balance covers it → **Pay from balance**. If not → pick a method for the exact shortfall (Crypto, CryptoBot, LOLZ, SBP, xRocket) — once it's paid, registration completes on its own.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done">
    Registration is automatic. The domain shows up in **My Domains** and is connected to **Cloudflare** right away (SSL and basic protection already on). WHOIS is private by default — the public record carries generated contact details, not yours.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Exact prices and the full zone list are always shown in the bot — each zone shows its price right on the picker. Cheap zones (`.xyz`, `.shop`) start at $5/year, `.com` is around $17.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Premium (registry-priced) names aren't sold — the bot returns them as unavailable.
