What you get
What does $99 actually include?
Most people pay for these three pieces separately and configure them by hand. We bundle the whole thing for less than half the cost. If you already have a free CV from our free CV builder, this is the upgrade that puts your name on the door.
A custom domain
yourname.com, .dev, .me, .xyz. Pick what fits. We register it, set up DNS, renew it yearly. You own it forever.
Live portfolio at it
Your CV is your portfolio — hosted at your own domain. Edit anywhere, it updates instantly. No publish button, no rebuild, no second platform to keep in sync. 40+ themes. See it live: livelink.cv/ashley.
A working email
you@yourname.com that forwards to your Gmail. Reply in Gmail like normal. Recruiters see your professional address. Zero setup.

The upgrade
What does your email say to a recruiter?
Three scenes. Your Gmail dropdown right now. The recruiter’s inbox. The one swap that fixes both.
Why it mattersMost candidates apply with a free email.

You’re not most candidates.
“
Recruiters spend 6-8 seconds on a first scan. The signal they pick up from your email address is binary: this person is taking this seriously, or they aren’t.
“
Once you have you@yourname.com, your job hunt has its own brand. Your LinkedIn, your CV, your replies. All consistent. All yours.
“
Domain switching cost is the highest in software. After a year of replies and CV sends, your email becomes the most permanent thing in your professional life.

Honest comparison
What if I just use Gmail Send-As or ImprovMX?
You can. They’re free. Here’s the catch nobody on those product pages tells you. Read our full guide on how to get a custom email domain in 2026 for all 5 methods compared.

Our promises
Do I own the domain, and what if I cancel?
Yes you own it. Here’s every promise we make in writing. Some of these are policies other registrars don’t offer.
WHOIS privacy, free, forever
Your real name and address never appear in public records. GoDaddy charges $9.99/year for this. We don’t.
No auto-parking, ever
If your domain expires, we hold it at neutral DNS for 90 days. We never redirect to ads or sell it. You always get a clean transfer code.
Walk away anytime
Transfer to any other registrar with one click after the 60-day ICANN lock. No retention emails, no friction.
7-day money back
If PRO Brand isn’t what you expected, email us within 7 days and we refund in full. We process it the same day.
Year-2 price, locked
For .com, .cv, .net, .dev, .xyz, .name. Your renewal stays $99/year as long as your subscription is active.
Common questions
Everything you might wonder.
Yes. The domain is registered to you with WHOIS privacy enabled by default. You can transfer it to any other registrar at any time after the ICANN-mandated 60-day lock. We generate the transfer code for you in 5 minutes. We never hold your domain hostage.
Mail sent to you@yourname.com forwards into your existing Gmail. When you hit Reply in Gmail, our system catches the reply via a hidden alias, rewrites the From header, and sends it back out as you@yourname.com automatically. No "Send As" configuration in Gmail, no SMTP settings, no DKIM nightmares. It works in Gmail mobile, Outlook, and Apple Mail.
For .com, .net, .dev, .xyz, and .name, the renewal stays $99/year for as long as your subscription is active. For .org, .me, and .app (where wholesale prices have risen over time), year 1 and 2 are included, year 3+ is at-cost (~$15-22/year), shown clearly in your dashboard before billing.
Your portfolio and email keep working for 30 days. Email forwarding stays free for 60 more days as a re-conversion hook. At day 90 we email you a one-click transfer code so you keep your domain forever at any registrar. We never auto-park or monetize expired domains. That is a written promise.
Yes. When you reply to a recruiter from Gmail, they see you@yourname.com in their inbox, not your Gmail address. The relay header is invisible. This is the same magic-reply technique Apple Hide My Email and DuckDuckGo Email Protection use.
Yes, for $79/year (saves you the $20 registration cost). You point your domain DNS at us via a few records, we handle the rest: portfolio hosting, email forwarding, magic-reply. Same features.
Yes. Squarespace charges $192/year for site building plus $72/year for Google Workspace email = $264/year. Wix is similar. GoDaddy bundles for around $180/year. FreeCV PRO Brand is $99/year with the same domain + portfolio + email package, plus the AI CV builder no other competitor offers.
Checkout itself is 60 seconds. Your portfolio is live the instant you save your CV (no publish button — it auto-syncs from your CV). Domain registration, DNS, DKIM/SPF/DMARC, and email forwarding finish within 30 minutes after payment, and you get a confirmation email when email is fully ready. We do real RDAP availability checks at checkout so you never pay for a name that's already taken.
Yes. Recruiters notice when a candidate replies from a custom-domain address (you@yourname.com) versus a free-email account. It signals you take your career seriously. Industry surveys (TheLadders, 2024) confirm a "free-email penalty" for senior roles. Branded email is also expected for freelancers and consultants where personal brand directly equals revenue.
We exclude registry-priced "premium" names from search to protect you from $4,500/year surprises. If you really want one, we recommend buying it elsewhere first and using our BYO option.
Yes. Freelancers and consultants typically need a domain + portfolio + branded email for client work. PRO Brand bundles all three for $99/year (vs $264/year on Squarespace + Google Workspace, or $79+/year for Carrd Pro + Fastmail without a domain). One renewal date, one bill, no Google Workspace seat fees.
