# Domains

> Verify or register a domain to send email from Bizzy

A domain is the piece before the `@` in an email address. Bizzy needs your
domain to be verified — and optionally registered through us — before you can
send from addresses on it.

## Status states

Each domain has a status — visible as a badge in the list:

| Status     | Meaning                                                                                      |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `pending`  | Awaiting verification (TXT record hasn't been seen yet)                                      |
| `active`   | Verified and healthy — ready for [email addresses](/user-guide/email-addresses/bizzy-hosted) |
| `expiring` | Registration renewal due within 7–30 days                                                    |
| `expired`  | Registration has lapsed — domain is non-functional                                           |

## Source

The list also shows each domain's source:

* **Registered** — bought through Bizzy + Stripe
* **Verified** — owned elsewhere; verified via TXT record

## Cost

A registered domain is a recurring cost. The **Cost** column shows each
registered domain's annual renewal price as **renews \$X/yr** — the same "renews"
figure shown during registration — so you can see your domain spend at a glance.
Verified-only domains — which you own, pay for, and renew at your own registrar
— show a dash in both the **Cost** and **Auto-Renew** columns.

Open a domain to see its full cost on the **Overview** tab:

* **Registration** — the first-year price.
* **Next renewal** — what you'll pay per year to keep the domain.

Premium domains carry registry-set pricing and are labelled **Premium** in both
the list and the detail view.

## Events

Each domain has an events timeline (on its detail page). See
[Domain Events](/user-guide/domains/events) for what you can learn from it.

## Filters and search

* **Search** — matches domain names.
* **Status filter** — narrow to active / pending / expiring / expired.
* **Source filter** — all / registered / verified.
* **Pagination** — 25 items per page.
