This article explains how to buy new [[Linden Lab Official:Private Region (Island) FAQ|Private Regions]] (also called "islands") within the Second Life world through the [https://land.secondlife.com/store/ Land Store].
 
: '''Tip:''' The Land Store has been upgraded to give you an easier-to-use experience. In response to longtime requests, you can now buy "Developed Land" Regions with a prebuilt theme so you're ready to go in minutes.
;
 
==Purchase==
 
: '''Note:''' In order to purchase land from the [https://land.secondlife.com/store/ Land Store], you need to have billing information on file. [http://secondlife.com/account/billing.php Go to your account's billing info] to update your status.
 
# Log into the [https://land.secondlife.com/ Second Life Land Portal].
#* You may wish to read the introduction which explains the difference between "Developed Land" and "Undeveloped Land". The former is great for a quick start, and the latter is if you want an "empty canvas" and know how you wish to shape it.
# When you've decided, either click '''[https://land.secondlife.com/en-US/undeveloped-land.php ][https://land.secondlife.com/developed-property.php Buy an Undeveloped Private Region]''' or '''[https://land.secondlife.com/en-US/themed-private-islands.php ][https://land.secondlife.com/developed-property.php Buy a Themed Private Region]'''.
#* If don't need the amount of control and space that comes with a Region, you can choose '''[http://usd.auctions.secondlife.com/ Buy Mainland]'''.
# You're presented with thumbnail images and descriptions of several appealing choices. These are all starting points for your creative vision, and you can ''always'' [[How to Use the Edit Terrain Tool|reshape your land]] later. Click '''Checkout''' to proceed.
# On the "Land Detail" page, decide from the comparison details whether you want a Full Region, [[Linden Lab Official:Information about Openspaces (Void Regions)|Homestead]], or [[Linden Lab Official:Information about Openspaces (Void Regions)|Openspace]]. Click the '''Choose''' button under your choice to continue.
#* You can only purchase a Homestead or Openspace if you already own or are also going to buy one or more Full Regions.
# On the "Name your land" page, type in the '''Create a Region Name''' field and click '''Check Availability'''. If it's not taken, you can proceed.
# '''Region Coordinates''' are automatically filled in. These coordinates are where your Region will be physically located on the [[How do I use the World Map|World Map]].
#* If you'd prefer to override them, click '''[change]''', then click a map square that isn't crossed out in red.
#* You can click the arrow buttons to look at different areas on the map.
#* You can also search for another Region to be near (for example, one that a friend or colleague owns).
# Take a few seconds to fill out the brief survey at the bottom.
# Click '''Add to Cart''' button.
# Once all details have been successfully verified, you can shop for more Regions (same steps as above) or click '''Proceed to Checkout'''.
#* You may have up to 10 items in your cart at once.
#* Items don't stay in your cart forever; they stay in your cart until you or someone else buys them. A Region is held as yours for 30 minutes after your last activity in the Land Store. If someone else buys it (or a neighboring Region) after those 30 minutes, it will appear in your cart as unavailable.
# At the "Real Estate: Shopping Cart" page, click '''Place Order''' to confirm your purchase.
 
: '''Note:''' Orders totaling more than US$10,000 can't be processed through the Land Store. If you're planning on buying more than US$10,000 worth of land, consider making multiple orders.
 
==Delivery==
 
Once your Region purchase is complete, you'll receive an email with details. A new Region is generally delivered within 15 minutes. Occasional service updates may affect that time, so [http://status.secondlifegrid.net/ see the Second Life Grid Status Reports page] if it's taking longer than expected.
 
''Enjoy your fresh Region, teeming with possibilities for you to explore!''
 
==Maturity ratings==
 
New Regions are delivered with a default maturity rating of Mature. You can customize this using the Region/Estate tools:
 
# From the Viewer menus, go to '''World''' > '''Region/Estate'''.
# Click the '''Region''' tab.
# From the '''Rating''' dropdown, select either '''PG''' or '''Adult'''.
# Click '''Apply'''.
 
: '''Note:''' If your Region is '''Mature''' or '''Adult''', only Residents, including yourself, who have set their Maturity preference correctly will be able to access the Region. Otherwise, if they try to enter, they'll be prompted to either set their preferences or be age-verified. [http://wiki.secondlife.com/support/default.asp?deptID=4417&task=knowledge&questionID=6011 See "Setting your maturity preferences"] for how to do this.
