Domains and DNS allows you to manage and register your [internal](/domains-and-dns/concepts/#internal-domain) and [external domains](/domains-and-dns/concepts/#external-domain) and configure and manage their DNS zones. Domains and DNS provide support for queries via both IPv4 and IPv6.

<Requirements />

- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- [Added a credit card](/billing/quickstart/#how-to-add-a-payment-method) to your account

<Message type="important">
  * Make sure to check your domain name for any spelling mistakes before you place the order.
  * You cannot change the domain name once the registration is complete and the fees will still apply. You can, however, register another domain with the correctly spelled name.
  * Internal domains are billed immediately upon registration.
