You can register a domain name and set up business email with Rocketspark. This is a good option if you want to secure your web address and get a professional email address (like you@yourbusiness.co.nz). Here's how to buy your domain and add email.
Step 1 — Search for the domain you want
Go to the Domains page on the Rocketspark website, type the domain you'd like into the search box, and select Search. The domains we support can be found here: What domain name extensions can I have with Rocketspark (TLD)?
Step 2 — Choose your domain
If your domain is available, you'll see This domain is available, with your preferred domain marked "It's available". Select Get it now to add it to your cart. You'll also see other endings under Other great alternatives (like .nz, .kiwi, .net.nz or .org.nz) if you'd rather a different one.
If your domain is already taken, you'll see This domain is unavailable, along with a list of Other great alternatives you can choose from instead. Pick the one you want and select Get it now.
Step 3 — Set up your account and pay
Once your domain is in your cart, follow the steps to set up your Rocketspark account and pay by credit card.
Step 4 — You're ready
After payment, you'll land on your dashboard, where your domain is listed and you can manage everything in one place.
Add business email
Once you have a domain, you can add business email on it. In your dashboard, go to the Google Workspace section to purchase business email. Account verification may be needed before your email is switched on. Why does my account need to be verified?
If your domain is registered with another provider but you'd like email through Rocketspark, we can set that up at our end. Get in touch with our support team and we'll help.

Already own a domain elsewhere?
If your domain is registered with another provider and you want to keep it but use Rocketspark for email, you have two options.
You can leave the domain where it is and point its email settings to Rocketspark, or you can transfer the domain to Rocketspark so everything sits in one place.
Note: Transferring a domain from another provider needs a Rocketspark account, so you'll create one as part of the transfer - Transfer your domain name to Rocketspark.
Want to build a website too?
If you'd like to build a website as well, you can start a free 30-day website trial from your dashboard. Look for the Launch your dream site card and select Start building for free.
For the full steps, see How do I start a website trial from my Rocketspark domain?.
