begin domains add <parameters> [options]

If the domain is available, you will get a link to checkout and complete the subscription process.

If the domain is unavailable, some suggestions will be provided.

This command will not charge a card you might have on file. Similarly, it will not hold the domain for you. You will need to complete the subscription process at the provided checkout URL to claim the domain.

Add the domain your-name.dev

begin domains add --domain your-name.dev
