To connect a domain to your Readymag project, its DNS settings need to be configured to work with Readymag. Through our partnership with IONOS, you can skip that step by purchasing domains that come preconfigured and ready to use right away. You can buy as many preconfigured domains as you need, though only the first one is available at the discounted price of $12. This price applies to the first year only, after which the domain renews at IONOS's regular rate.

Follow these steps to purchase the domain:

1. Log in to your Readymag account, navigate to your project’s settings, and publish it.
2. Open the “Domain” tab.
3. Choose the “Buy a domain with $12 off” option to initiate the process.
4. Enter the domain you wish to use and click “Search.” This will redirect you to the IONOS website.
5. On the IONOS website, add the domain to your cart or explore other options. Follow the instructions to complete your purchase.
6. After purchasing the domain, return to your project settings in Readymag.
7. The DNS settings may take up to 48 hours to update.
8. Once the update is complete, you’ll receive an email confirmation. Afterward, simply return to your Readymag project and open the “Domain” tab in the project settings. Then click “Test” and a “Connect” button will appear—click it to finalize the connection.

FAQs

It’s been more than 48 hours since I purchased the domain, but I haven’t received a confirmation email, and my project’s settings still show I need to wait. What should I do?

If the domain was purchased through our integration more than 48 hours ago and you never received a confirmation from IONOS, please contact our support team via live chat or email and share the domain name so we can help verify the status of the purchase.

I purchased a domain through the IONOS integration. Does the Readymag subscription renewal include the domain?

No. Your domain is purchased through our partnership with IONOS, so purchases, billing, and renewals are all managed in your IONOS account. If you need help with any of these, please contact IONOS support.

Do I need to adjust or configure anything in the domain to use it?

Domains bought via this option come pre-configured for Readymag, so you won’t need to adjust the DNS settings manually. Once you receive the email confirmation from IONOS, you can complete the connection from your project’s settings as described in step 8 [anchor link to be added here] of this article.

Yes. Please reach out to our support team via live chat or email and share the domain name so we can help.

I bought a domain, but don’t need it anymore. Can I get a refund? / I need to change the domain I bought. How do I go about doing that?

Since your domain was purchased through our partnership with IONOS, any refunds, changes, and renewals are handled by IONOS rather than Readymag. Please contact IONOS support directly, and they can review your options based on their refund and domain policies.
