Request
Someone types your name
A visitor looks up the subdomain you leased.
A direct route to what you make
A small name for your next big thing.
Lease a memorable subdomain for a project, profile, service, or experiment. Set one DNS record and send people straight there—no Dots proxy in the middle.
- One A or CNAME record
- Direct to your destination
- Clear renewal terms
01DNS only. Never proxied.
02You control the destination.
03One public A or CNAME.
04Cloudflare-managed zones.
Routing / the short path
We name the route. You own the journey.
Dots publishes your DNS choice and then steps aside. There is no page builder, analytics layer, content host, or reverse proxy between a visitor and the destination you operate.
DNS answer
Dots returns your record
One A or CNAME record points to the destination you chose.
Destination
Your server answers
The connection goes directly to your site, profile, app, or service.
Plans / renewal
Choose how long you need the name.
Every plan uses the same direct DNS model. Exact pricing varies by word and zone; premium names and review requirements are shown before you reserve anything.
Free monthly
For active experiments. Return each month to confirm you still use the name.
FreeYearly
For projects with a longer horizon, a visible renewal date, and reminders before expiry.
Per yearLifetime
One upfront payment for a long-duration lease, subject to service operation and acceptable use.
One timeThe plain-language contract
A lease, with no fuzzy edges.
A Dots name is intentionally narrow: a memorable label, a managed DNS record, and a clear term. The boundaries are part of the product.
You choose the label and destination
Set a public IPv4 address or hostname that you control.
Dots operates the parent zone
We publish and maintain the subdomain record beneath domains operated by Dots.
Terms and review are visible before checkout
Premium status, pricing, renewal action, and any manual review appear before reservation.
It is not a domain registration
A lease does not convey ownership of the parent domain or a top-level registry name.
It is not hosting or a traffic proxy
Dots does not host your content, inspect your visitors, or sit in the request path.
