How do you buy a domain with Ionos and publish?

If you prefer to purchase a new domain, Lovable routes you to Ionos, its partner for domains. You can compare TLDs like .ai, .info, .studio, and .app, pick one, pay, and get redirected back to Lovable for automatic connection.

• Click Buy Domain from the custom Domain Section.
• Search for a name that matches your app.
• Review TLD options: photorenamer.info, photorenamer.studio, photorenamer.app.
• Add your choice to cart. Ignore extra offers if not needed.
• Prices vary. Some options are around $12, others as low as $1.
• Complete payment in Ionos. You’ll be redirected back to Lovable.

What happens after payment?

• Lovable begins connecting the domain automatically.
• It may show as “still trying to connect.”
• Use refresh to verify status.
• Click Update to deploy code to your new domain.

How long does domain propagation take?

• Plan buffer time for domain migration/propagation.
• Avoid doing it right before a client deadline or launch date.
• Recommended window: 24 to 48 hours for everything to settle.
