Buy a domain through Jukto
Search a name, pay Jukto, and the domain is registered for you and connected to your website. Also: renew, manage DNS, and move a domain in or out.
You do not need a separate account at a domain seller. In Settings > Domain you can search a name, pay Jukto with your normal invoice payment, and Jukto registers the domain for you and connects it to this website.
Before you start#
- You are the owner. Only the owner can buy domains.
- The real details of the person or business that will own the domain. The registry needs them. They are stored encrypted and sent only to the registrar.
- A way to pay an invoice: your Earnings wallet, bKash or Nagad. See Invoices and payment.
- For a .bd name (for example .com.bd): the owner's National ID number (10, 13 or 17 digits), a Bangladesh mobile number and the purpose of the domain. Government and school endings are not sold here.

DNS and nameservers#
Open DNS and nameservers on a domain to see its records, Add a record, edit or remove one. Records that keep your website connected are protected. Use Jukto defaults restores the two records that connect the domain to your website. Under Nameservers you can choose Jukto DNS (recommended) or My own nameservers, for example Cloudflare. Then Jukto stops managing the records, and your website and email work only if the new nameservers hold the same records: Using Cloudflare with Jukto. You can switch back at any time.
Move a domain in or out#
- In: on the tab Transfer a domain to Jukto enter the name and its authorisation (EPP) code from your current registrar, where you first unlock the domain. A transfer adds one year and takes 5 to 7 days. It is offered only when the registrar supports transfers.
- Out: a domain cannot be moved in its first 60 days. Press Move away, then Ask to move it, and confirm within 7 days. The domain is unlocked and the authorisation code is sent to the domain's email. Your website stops working on the domain once it has moved.
Common problems#
The name shows Taken or a premium name
Try another name or ending. Premium names are not sold here.
My .bd purchase asks for an ID
The registry requires the owner's NID (10, 13 or 17 digits), a Bangladesh mobile number and a purpose. The NID goes only to the .bd registry and is deleted from Jukto after registration.
I paid but the domain is not Active
Registration starts within a minute of payment, and a manual bKash or Nagad payment is first approved by the Jukto team. Open My domains to follow the status.
The domain says Failed
Contact support with the reason code shown on the domain.
