On Ghost(Pro) you can [activate a custom domain](https://ghost.org/help/using-custom-domains/) you own with your publication, OR, if you don’t already have a custom domain you can purchase one directly from the **Ghost(Pro) → Domain** area within Ghost Admin.

To purchase a brand new domain, while logged in as the publication owner user, go to the **Ghost(Pro) → Domain** area within Ghost Admin, and click the **Purchase domain** button.

💡

`.link` domains are free to register for the first year through a partnership with [Entri](https://www.entri.com/?ref=ghost.org) and [.link](https://nic.link/?ref=ghost.org)

During the checkout process, you will need to enter in your information, ensuring that the email address used for your domain is correct, as this will be the email address used to manage your domain via [Squarespace](https://domains.squarespace.com/) in the future if needed.

When purchasing a domain on Ghost(Pro), the DNS records for your domain will be automatically configured for you, and the custom domain will be activated with your site automatically.

💡

Domains can be managed via Squarespace after purchase, should you wish to customize your DNS records at any time.
