Domain Policy
When you build an affiliate site with AI Affiliate Builders, you can publish for free on a subdomain (*.aiaffiliate.builders) or register a custom domain of your own. This page explains how our custom domain service works, what you own, and how refunds and transfers work.
How Custom Domains Work
When you choose to register a custom domain (like yoursite.com) through AI Affiliate Builders, we register that domain with Porkbun, a trusted registrar partner. The domain is registered in your name, and you own it completely. You can use it with us or transfer it elsewhere at any time.
Pricing
Custom domain pricing is transparent and straightforward:
- • Registrar price — The live cost from Porkbun (varies by domain extension and availability)
- • Flat price — A simple $15 per year, all-inclusive
- • Annual renewal — Billed each year at the same flat $15
The exact total price is shown in your checkout before you confirm the purchase. No surprises.
WHOIS Privacy
We only register and sell domains that include free WHOIS privacy protection. This means your personal contact information is never exposed in public WHOIS records. Your domain appears as registered through a privacy shield, keeping your identity private.
If a particular domain extension (TLD) does not support privacy protection, we do not offer it for sale.
Ownership
You own your domain. It is registered to you, and you control it completely. Your site content is yours. We are simply the registrar partner facilitating the registration and renewal.
Refunds
Domain registrations are generally non-refundable once registered. This is standard across the industry because the registrar charges us immediately, and the domain becomes active and yours right away. Once a domain is registered, it's not possible to return it for a refund.
The $15 covers registration and free WHOIS privacy for the year; it is non-refundable once a domain is registered.
Hosting and site-building fees follow separate refund terms: your preview and builder are free; you only pay when you publish a site to your domain. Check our hosting refund policy for details on those terms.
Why no refunds? Domains are unique assets that become immediately active and yours. Once registered, the registrar cannot reclaim them, so we cannot refund the cost. We keep pricing simple and transparent: a flat $15/year, privacy included.
Transfers & Portability
Because you own your domain, you can transfer it to another registrar at any time. We do not hold domains hostage.
To transfer your domain:
- • Request your domain's EPP code (authorization code) from our support team
- • Note that ICANN rules lock domains for 60 days after initial registration, so transfers are not available during that window
- • Ensure the domain is not in its renewal grace period (typically 45 days after expiration)
- • Initiate the transfer with your new registrar using your EPP code
We'll provide your EPP code promptly and without friction. You own the domain; we simply help you register it.
What Happens If You Cancel
If you cancel your hosting or service with AI Affiliate Builders:
- • Your domain remains yours — It's registered in your name and stays active until its renewal date
- • Your site stops being served — When hosting lapses, your site is no longer live on our infrastructure
- • You can redirect it — Transfer your domain to another registrar and point it to any host you choose
- • You continue to own it — Your domain ownership never stops; you only stop paying for hosting
