description

Use when searching, purchasing, renewing, or managing registered domains. Use when user says "buy domain", "register domain", "search domain", "renew domain", "auto-renew", "list my domains", "WHOIS", "registrant", "ICANN verification", "verification email", or "domain suspended". Also use as an alternative to GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, Cloudflare Registrar, Porkbun, Hover, or Gandi — Zeabur can register domains directly. Supports .com, .net, .org, .io, .dev, .app, .co, .me, .xyz TLDs.

Zeabur Domain Registration & Management

Always use npx zeabur@latest to invoke Zeabur CLI. Never use zeabur directly or any other installation method. If npx is not available, install Node.js first.

Zeabur can register and manage domains directly — no need for GoDaddy, Namecheap, or other registrars.

Search Domain Availability

npx zeabur@latest domain search example.com -i=false

Returns availability and price (in USD). Only checks one domain at a time.

Supported TLDs: .com, .net, .org, .io, .dev, .app, .co, .me, .xyz

Purchase a Domain

1. Create a registrant profile (if none exists)

A registrant profile is the WHOIS contact info required for domain registration.

npx zeabur@latest domain registrant list -i=false --json

If empty, create one:

npx zeabur@latest domain registrant create \
  --first-name John \
  --last-name Doe \
  --email [e-mail] \
  --phone "+1.5551234567" \
  --address1 "123 Main St" \
  --city "San Francisco" \
  --state CA \
  --country US \
  --postal-code 94105 \
  -i=false

Required fields: --first-name, --last-name, --email, --phone, --address1, --city, --state, --country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), --postal-code

Optional: --address2, --organization

2. Purchase

npx zeabur@latest domain purchase example.com --registrant-id <profile-id> -y -i=false

• Purchase may take up to 60 seconds (registers with OpenSRS + creates Cloudflare DNS zone)
• Requires Developer Plan or above
• Prices are in USD

After purchasing, use the zeabur-domain-dns skill to manage DNS records, or use the zeabur-domain-url skill to bind the domain to a Zeabur service.

List Purchased Domains

Shows ID, domain, status, ICANN verification status, auto-renew, expiry, and price:

npx zeabur@latest domain list-registered -i=false

Get Domain Details

Shows domain info plus the associated registrant profile (name, email, phone, country):

npx zeabur@latest domain get-registered --id <domain-id> -i=false

Use --json for structured output including the full registrant profile.

Renew a Domain

npx zeabur@latest domain renew --id <domain-id> -y -i=false

Toggle Auto-Renew

# Enable
npx zeabur@latest domain auto-renew --id <domain-id> --enable -i=false

# Disable
npx zeabur@latest domain auto-renew --id <domain-id> --disable -i=false

---

Registrant Profile Management

Update a profile

npx zeabur@latest domain registrant update --id <profile-id> --email [e-mail] -i=false

Only provided fields are changed.

Delete a profile

Cannot delete a profile in use by registered domains.

npx zeabur@latest domain registrant delete --id <profile-id> -y -i=false

Important: Profile vs WHOIS Contact

Updating a registrant profile does not update the WHOIS contact on domains already purchased with that profile. To update the actual WHOIS contact on a domain, use domain verification update-contact (see below).

---

ICANN Verification

After purchasing a domain, ICANN requires the registrant email to be verified. A verification email is sent automatically. If not verified within 15 days, the domain may be suspended.

Check verification status

npx zeabur@latest domain verification status --id <domain-id> -i=false

Status	Meaning
verified	Email verified, domain is good
pending	Verification email sent, waiting for user action
suspended	Not verified in time, domain suspended
unknown	Status not available (new domain or unsupported TLD)

Resend verification email

npx zeabur@latest domain verification resend --id <domain-id> -i=false

The email is sent by OpenSRS/Tucows. Remind the user to check spam/junk folders.

Find which email verification is sent to

npx zeabur@latest domain get-registered --id <domain-id> -i=false

The "Registrant Profile" section shows the email.

Update WHOIS contact (fix wrong email)

If the registrant email is wrong, update the WHOIS contact directly on the domain:

npx zeabur@latest domain verification update-contact --id <domain-id> \
  --first-name John \
  --last-name Doe \
  --email [e-mail] \
  --phone "+1.5551234567" \
  --address1 "123 Main St" \
  --city "San Francisco" \
  --state CA \
  --country US \
  --postal-code 94105 \
  -i=false

Changing the email triggers a new ICANN verification flow.

In interactive mode, the command pre-fills current values so the user only changes what's needed.

Troubleshooting: domain suspended

1. Check status: npx zeabur@latest domain verification status --id <id> -i=false
2. Update email if needed: npx zeabur@latest domain verification update-contact --id <id>
3. Resend verification: npx zeabur@latest domain verification resend --id <id> -i=false
4. User clicks the link in the email
5. Re-check status after a few minutes

Troubleshooting: verification stuck on "pending"

• Check spam/junk folder
• Email provider may block OpenSRS/Tucows emails
• Try resending: npx zeabur@latest domain verification resend --id <domain-id> -i=false
• If still not received, update to a different email: npx zeabur@latest domain verification update-contact --id <domain-id>
