Go live with your own domain
Choose a plan in my.kwipps.com (or from the go-live link in your preview email), search for your address, pay once with Stripe, and we buy the domain, connect it to your website, create your first email address and email you when it is live.
Updated 27 September 2026
Your website is built and running at a preview address. Going live puts it on your own address — yourname.ch or yourname.com — with your plan.
Choose your plan and your address
- Go to my.kwipps.com › Plan and billing and press "Choose" on the plan you want. (The link in the email with your preview leads to the same steps.)
- Search for the address you would like. Kwipps shows whether it is free and its price for the first year. A single word is tried as .ch and .com.
- Press Select on the one you want.
- Check the summary — what you pay today (the first month and the domain), then the monthly price — and press Continue to payment.
- Pay on Stripe's page. You are brought back with "your payment went through".
What we do next
- We buy the domain for you, through our registrar.
- We connect it to your website, with a secure padlock (HTTPS).
- We create your first email address, info@ your domain. An invitation lets you choose its password; we never see it.
- We email you that your website is live, with how to read your mail. Give the new address a couple of hours to reach everyone before worrying.
Good to know
- Your address is listed under my.kwipps.com › Domains, with where it points and when it renews.
- An address priced above what we buy automatically needs a quick look from us first; the search says so.
- Already own a domain, or have a website you want to keep? Using a domain you already own is not something the account can do by itself: write to info@kwipps.com. To keep your own website and use only the tools, choose the Tools plan.
- The Tools plan needs no address: your booking page and menu stay at a Kwipps address, to link from your own site.
