# How to purchase a domain with GetResponse? Starting in February 2024, [Gmail](https://blog.google/products/gmail/gmail-security-authentication-spam-protection/) and [Yahoo](https://blog.postmaster.yahooinc.com/post/730172167494483968/more-secure-less-spam) are rolling out new authentication requirements which require using a [custom **DKIM** authenticated domain](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-dkim-and-how-do-i-configure-it.html) with [**DMARC** reinforced](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-is-dmarc.html). In April 2025, [Microsoft](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftdefenderforoffice365blog/strengthening-email-ecosystem-outlook%E2%80%99s-new-requirements-for-high%E2%80%90volume-senders/4399730) joined them with a similar announcement. GetResponse strongly advises all senders to use email addresses from their own private domains as a [from email address](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-can-i-add-a-new-from-address-and-name-for-my-messages.html), and to configure both **DKIM** and **DMARC**. For additional details on these modifications, refer to our blog posts: [Gmail and Yahoo’s Authentication Changes: All You Need to Know](https://www.getresponse.com/blog/gmail-yahoo-authentication) [Microsoft’s new authentication requirements — All you need to know](https://www.getresponse.com/blog/microsoft-authentication) If you want to buy a domain, you can easily do that in [Profile > Emails and domains](https://app.getresponse.com/wbe/manage-domains). Domain purchase is **only available with a credit card**, thus if another payment method is linked to the account, purchasing a domain won’t be possible. Before you start the process, add the following email address to your contacts in your inbox address book, to be sure the [confirmation message](https://www.getresponse.com/help/confirmation-message.html) will be [delivered](https://www.getresponse.com/help/delivered.html) to your inbox without any issues: **gr-domains@opensrs.getresponse.com** Searching for and purchasing domain ----------------------------------- 1.

domains to spammers and malware operators. Some registrars knowingly sell many domains to these parties for profit, while many registries don’t take sufficient action to prevent or reduce this issue. A TLD can be considered “bad” in two ways. Firstly, it may have a higher ratio of harmful to legitimate domains, indicating a need for better enforcement of policies to deter abusers. However, some TLDs with a high proportion of harmful domains may be relatively small, meaning their overall impact on the internet is limited compared to larger TLDs with more bad domains. Here’s the list of domains that are not available in GetResponse: **Restricted Top Level Domains** * .support * .creditcard * .credit * .loans * .delivery * .dating * .security * .protection * .accountant * .loan * .sexy
