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 john@example.com \
  --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

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 new@example.com -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 correct@example.com \
  --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

Check status: npx zeabur@latest domain verification status --id <id> -i=false
Update email if needed: npx zeabur@latest domain verification update-contact --id <id>
Resend verification: npx zeabur@latest domain verification resend --id <id> -i=false
User clicks the link in the email
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>
