Getting started

How quickly is my name registered?

For generic extensions like .com, .net, .io and .dev, registration completes within minutes of payment and the domain appears in your dashboard straight away. .com.bd is reviewed by the Bangladesh registry and usually takes one to three business days.

What does the price include?

The registry fee for the first year, free DNS, registrar lock, nameserver and DNS management, and access to the dashboard. The renewal price is always shown next to the first-year price, so you know what you'll pay next year before you pay anything this year.

How can I pay?

Bangladeshi debit and credit cards, international cards, and mobile banking (bKash, Nagad, Rocket and others) through SSLCommerz, or a direct bank transfer — upload your deposit slip and we'll confirm it.

Do I really own the name?

Yes. The domain is registered in your name as the registrant. You can move it to another registrar at any time by unlocking it and requesting an auth code from your dashboard — we never hold names hostage.

Do I have to use LeafDot Deploy?

No. Deploy with us and the domain is connected automatically — or point your nameservers anywhere and add the records another provider gives you (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and more). Shopify, Wix, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365: they all work.

What happens if I forget to renew?

Turn on auto-renew and you won't have to think about it. Either way we email reminders well before expiry. Most generic domains then have a grace period after expiry during which you can still renew at the normal price.

Billing & pricing

Why does renewal cost more than the first year on some extensions?

Some registries price the first year lower to help new projects start. We pass that saving on — and show the renewal price beside it everywhere, so there's never a surprise the following year.

Are there any setup or hidden fees?

No setup fees, no mandatory add-ons and no checkout extras you have to untick. The price on the page is the price on the invoice, plus VAT where applicable.

Can I register for more than one year?

Yes, up to ten years for most extensions. Multi-year registrations lock in today's price and protect the name for longer.

Do prices include VAT?

Prices are shown in BDT. Where VAT applies it's added at checkout and itemised on your invoice.

Deploy

How is Deploy different from traditional hosting?

There's no server to manage, no cPanel and no FTP. You connect a Git repository; every push builds and deploys automatically to a global edge network. Each branch or pull request gets its own preview URL, and rolling back is one click.

What can I deploy?

Static sites and modern frameworks — Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte, Astro, Remix and more — plus server functions for APIs, forms and dynamic pages. If it has a build command and an output folder, it runs.

Do I need a domain from LeafDot?

No, but it's the fastest route: register a name and it's connected to your project automatically, with HTTPS issued in seconds. Domains from other registrars work too — just point the DNS records we show you.

Is the Hobby plan really free?

Yes, for personal and non-commercial projects, within the plan's limits. When your idea starts earning, move to Pro — your projects, domains and history come with you.

What happens if I go over my bandwidth?

We email you as you approach the limit. Nothing is cut off without warning; you can upgrade, or we'll talk about what your project needs.

Where are my sites served from?

Static assets and cached pages are served from a global CDN, so visitors in Dhaka and in London both get a fast first load.

Transfers

How long does a transfer take?

Most generic domain transfers finish within five to seven days. Your current registrar may approve it sooner. The website and email keep working throughout — nothing goes offline.

Do I lose the time left on my registration?

No. A transfer adds a year to your registration, and the remaining time carries over. You pay the transfer price, which includes that extra year.

Why can't I transfer a domain I just registered?

Registry rules lock newly registered or recently transferred domains for 60 days. After that, it's free to move.

What do I need to start?

Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the auth (EPP) code, and make sure the registrant email is one you can read. Then start the transfer here and paste the code at checkout.

Help & troubleshooting

How do I reach support?

Open a ticket from your dashboard — it keeps the history in one place and links to the domain or invoice you're asking about. You can also email support@leafdot.com.

How fast will you reply?

Within one business day, usually much sooner. Support hours are Sunday – Thursday, 10:00 – 19:00 (GMT+6); urgent issues like a domain that stopped resolving are prioritised.

My new domain isn't showing my website yet. Why?

DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to reach every network. If it's been longer than 24 hours, check that the records match what your host asked for, or open a ticket and we'll look.

Someone is abusing a domain registered with you.

Report phishing, malware or other abuse to abuse@leafdot.com with the domain and evidence. Every report is reviewed.
