No. B12’s end-to-end service requires that your site be hosted by us to function successfully. B12's [hosting platform](https://support.b12.io/en/articles/1087212-is-website-hosting-included-in-my-b12-subscription?hsLang=en) enables us to provide reliable service, including website maintenance, regular updates, backups, and security features. These services are critical in ensuring the smooth running of your website and keeping it safe from threats like hacking or corruption. [Here’s](https://support.b12.io/en/articles/2817242-how-does-b12-host-my-website?hsLang=en) more information on the nitty-gritty of how B12 hosts your site. #### What if I already have a domain name? You are free to use your own domain! You can [connect](https://support.b12.io/en/articles/1087199-domains-and-your-b12-website?hsLang=en) your existing domain to your B12 website, or you can buy a new domain through B12. On paid plans, your first year is free. After that, the domain renews through IONOS, and you pay IONOS directly. You still have the freedom to customize your website and give it a unique name. For more information about connecting a domain name, please email B12's Support Team at [hello@b12.io](mailto:hello@b12.io) or reach out through our live chat in the lower right corner of [the editor.](https://b12.io/dashboard/) -
