## Why do people look for a Cloudflare Registrar alternative?

Mostly because they want to pay in crypto, and Cloudflare documents no crypto payment. Some buyers have no card, or a card that is declined for payments abroad. Others hold their savings in stablecoins and want to pay a dollar price in USDT or USDC.

Cloudflare's at-cost model is hard to beat on price alone. BuyDomainsCrypto, a no-KYC domain registration service, does not try to undercut it. It sells close to the same wholesale floor. It adds what Cloudflare does not offer: crypto payment with named networks, no card and no ID check. See [buy a domain without a credit card](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/buy-domain-without-credit-card/).

## How close to cost is BuyDomainsCrypto?

Close. BuyDomainsCrypto prices every extension at the wholesale cost plus a small margin, and publishes every price in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). On .com, the wholesale cost is $10.46 until 31 October 2026, then $11.17 from 1 November 2026. Our .com is $11.49/year for the first year and every renewal. Five years cost $11.49 plus 4 renewals at $11.49.

The cost itself moves. Verisign raised the .com fee by 7 % each September from 2021 to 2024, skipped 2025, and raises it again on 1 November 2026. Details: [.com price increase, November 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/).

## When is Cloudflare Registrar still the better choice?

Cloudflare is the better choice in three cases:

- **You can pay with a Cloudflare account payment method and want the lowest price.** At cost, Cloudflare is cheaper than any registrar that adds a margin, including us.
- **Your site already runs on Cloudflare.** Keeping the domain in the same account is simpler.
- **You need neither crypto nor freedom from ID checks.** Then the main reasons to use BuyDomainsCrypto do not apply.

Choose BuyDomainsCrypto when you want to pay in crypto, with no card and no KYC.

## How to move a domain from Cloudflare to BuyDomainsCrypto

The full walk-through is in [transfer a domain and pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/).

1. **Get the auth code** — At Cloudflare, unlock the domain and copy its auth (EPP) code. Keep it private. We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat.
2. **Top up in crypto** — Top up your BuyDomainsCrypto balance with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. The minimum top-up is $25, and the crypto amount is locked for 30 minutes.
3. **Order the transfer** — Start the transfer with the auth code. A .com transfer costs $11.49, paid from your balance.
4. **Check your DNS** — Keep your current nameservers or switch: free DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records, or your own nameservers (2 to 13).

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Cloudflare Registrar accept Bitcoin or USDT?

No. As of 8 October 2026, Cloudflare Registrar documents no cryptocurrency payment of any kind; domains are paid with the payment methods of the Cloudflare account. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC and asks for no ID. USDT goes on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20).

### Is Cloudflare Registrar cheaper than BuyDomainsCrypto?

Yes, slightly. Cloudflare sells at cost: $10.46 for a .com on 8 October 2026. BuyDomainsCrypto sells a .com at $11.49/year, the wholesale cost plus a small margin. The difference pays for crypto payment with named networks and no KYC. Cloudflare documents no crypto payment, so it is not an option if you pay in crypto.

### What happens to Cloudflare's .com price on 1 November 2026?

Verisign raises its .com fee from $10.26 to $10.97 on that date. Cloudflare charges the registry fee plus $0.20 for ICANN, with no markup, so its at-cost .com moves from $10.46 to $11.17. BuyDomainsCrypto's .com price, $11.49/year, is already set above the new floor. Details: [.com price increase](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/).

### Do I need an ID to buy a domain at BuyDomainsCrypto?

No. BuyDomainsCrypto has no KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents. For gTLDs such as .com, ICANN rules require the registrar to verify the registrant email. At BuyDomainsCrypto, the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). Your email, the only data we collect, stays out of public WHOIS where the registry allows it. See [no-KYC domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/).

### Can I keep my DNS when I leave Cloudflare Registrar?

A transfer moves the registration; the nameservers set on the domain stay the same unless you change them. After the transfer, you can keep them or use our DNS. Our DNS option: free DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records, or your own nameservers (2 to 13). Changes made in the client area are applied by our team, with a reference number.

### Which extensions can I pay for in crypto?

BuyDomainsCrypto sells 55 extensions, including .com, .net, .org, .io, .ai, .xyz, .app and .dev, all paid in crypto. Some carry registry rules: .ai is sold for 2 years minimum, and .app and .dev require HTTPS. Extensions that require more than an email, such as .us or .eu, are not sold. See [all extensions](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/) and the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/).

### How long does a crypto payment take to credit?

It depends on the coin. A top-up is credited after 1 confirmation on Solana, 2 on Bitcoin and 6 on Litecoin. Ethereum payments (ETH, and USDT or USDC on ERC-20) need 12, and USDT on Tron needs 20. The amount is locked for 30 minutes. Registration then happens usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours.
