No. BuyDomainsCrypto never asks for a passport, an ID card, a selfie or documents, at any amount. One check remains: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). Your email stays out of the public WHOIS where the registry allows privacy. Details on the [no-KYC page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/). ### Which cryptocurrencies and networks can I pay with? Six coins on seven networks. BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20). ETH on the Ethereum mainnet, SOL on Solana and LTC on Litecoin. Lightning, Monero, BNB Chain (BEP-20), Polygon and layer-2 networks are not accepted. Cards, PayPal and bank transfers are not accepted either. See [networks and fees](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/). ### Is BuyDomainsCrypto the cheapest .com you can pay in USDT TRC-20? Among registrars that name the network, yes. In our check of 15 registrars on 8 October 2026, none of those that list USDT said which network they accept. Our .com is $11.49 the first year and the same to renew. From 1 November 2026, the wholesale floor is $11.17 for every registrar. Full data: [crypto registrar matrix](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/). ### What happens if the domain is taken before my payment confirms? You do not lose the money: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. You can then pick another name and pay for it from the same balance, without a new top-up. The order page shows each step, from Awaiting payment to Active. Read [how it works](https://buydomainscrypto.com/how-it-works/) for the order statuses and timings. ### Is the renewal more expensive than the first year? Not on .com, .net, .co, .xyz or .ai: one price for the first year and every renewal. A few extensions start lower, for example .io at $32.99 the first year and $50.49 to renew. The [price list](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) shows the first year, the renewal and the transfer side by side for all 55 extensions. ### Can I transfer my existing domains to BuyDomainsCrypto? Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, ask it for the auth (EPP) code, then start the transfer from the client area. A .com transfer costs $11.49 and adds one year to the expiry date. You pay it from your crypto balance. Step by step: [transfer a domain and pay in crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). **Find your domain name** .com at $11.49/year, paid in crypto, no KYC.

DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, runs BuyDomainsCrypto and is the party you contract with under our [Terms of Service](https://buydomainscrypto.com/terms/). BuyDomainsCrypto is a domain registration service. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules. These include registrant email verification, the Transfer Policy, the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the abuse rules of the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement. Country-code extensions such as .io, .co or .me also follow the policy of their own registry. We do not publish customer counts, ratings or awards. We publish facts you can check instead: every price, every rule per extension, and dated checks of other registrars. ## What does BuyDomainsCrypto sell? BuyDomainsCrypto sells domain names in 55 extensions, paid in crypto from a prepaid balance. Prices are per year, in US dollars. - **Generic extensions:** .com $11.49/year, .net $12.19/year, .org $8.79/year the first year. - **Tech and startup extensions:** .io $32.99/year, .ai $81.99/year (sold 2 years at a time), .xyz $11.49/year, .app $8.49/year and .dev $8.49/year the first year. - **Country codes open to all:** .io, .co, .me, .tv and .gg, each with its registry's rules on its own page. Extensions whose registry requires more than an email are sold registered in our name only, such as .de, .uk or .ch, or [not sold](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/), such as .us or .eu. Every domain comes with: - **DNS:** free DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records, or your own nameservers (2 to 13); - **Renewals:** automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain; - **Transfer code:** free, requested from the client area; - **WHOIS privacy:** free where the registry allows it. We sell domain names only. There is no web hosting, no email hosting and no reseller API. The full list is on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) and the [extensions page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/). ## How does BuyDomainsCrypto set its prices? Our prices are the registry's wholesale cost plus a small margin. The wholesale cost is the registry fee plus the ICANN fee of $0.20 per domain and per year. The .com shows how close to cost we sell. Verisign, the .com registry, charges $10.26 today and $10.97 from 1 November 2026. With the ICANN fee, the floor rises from $10.46 to $11.17. Our .com costs $11.49/year, already above the new floor, and $11.49/year to renew. The first year and the renewal cost the same on .com, .net, .co, .xyz and .ai, so there is no renewal surprise. On .org, .io, .app and .dev, the registry offers a lower first-year price. Our first year is lower too, and the renewal price is shown next to it. Every price is public: the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/), the machine-readable [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json) and the [crypto domain price index](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-domain-price-index/), which compares registrars with dated sources. ### .com: wholesale floor and our price | Item | Before 1 November 2026 | From 1 November 2026 | | --- | --- | --- | | Verisign registry fee | $10.26 | $10.97 | | ICANN fee | $0.20 | $0.20 | | Wholesale floor | $10.46 | $11.17 | | BuyDomainsCrypto, first year | $11.49 | $11.49 | | BuyDomainsCrypto, renewal | $11.49 | $11.49 | Registry fees per osir.com (Verisign price update 2026). Our prices are the current grid; any change is dated in the [changelog](https://buydomainscrypto.com/changelog/). ## Why doesn't BuyDomainsCrypto ask for ID? Because a domain registration does not need an ID document. **No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private.** We never ask for a passport, an ID card, a selfie or proof of address. ICANN rules still apply. The registrant email must work, and the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). A domain whose email is never confirmed can be suspended. Paying in crypto does not remove this rule at any registrar. The email stays private. It is hidden from public WHOIS and RDAP wherever the registry allows privacy. Read more on [no-KYC domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/) and [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). ## What principles does BuyDomainsCrypto follow? Five rules shape the service: 1. **Privacy-first: one email, nothing else.** No identity documents, at any spend level. We collect one email per domain, verified as ICANN requires, and nothing else. 2. **Legitimate privacy.** Free WHOIS privacy on every extension we sell. Extensions whose registry requires more than an email are sold registered in our name only (.de, .uk, .ch…) or not sold (.us, .eu, .fr, .it…): each one has a page that explains why. 3. **No takedown on a complaint alone, strict exceptions.** Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama). Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are suspended within 24 hours of a well-documented report, and child sexual abuse material immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. Registrant data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP. Details: [abuse policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). 4. **Dated, sourced comparisons.** Our [registrar matrix](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/) and [ranking of registrars that accept crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/best/domain-registrars-that-accept-crypto/) show the date each competitor was checked: 8 October 2026. 5. **Nothing backdated.** Price, payment and policy changes appear in the [changelog](https://buydomainscrypto.com/changelog/) with their date. ## What is BuyDomainsCrypto not? Some things we do not do, stated up front: - **Not a shelter for abuse.** We suspend phishing, malware, botnet, CSAM and fraud domains and apply UDRP decisions. Trustname, a registrar that marketed itself as a safe place for "sensitive niches", received ICANN breach notices in 2026 and then a termination of its accreditation. That model fails, and it harms every customer of the registrar. - **Not a Web3 name seller.** We sell domains in the public DNS, such as .com or .io. We do not sell blockchain names such as .eth or .crypto. - **Not every coin.** We accept BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. We do not accept Monero, Bitcoin Lightning, BNB Chain (BEP-20), Polygon, Arbitrum, Base or other layer-2 networks. - **Not cards or banks.** No card, no PayPal, no bank transfer: crypto only. - **Not a host.** No web hosting and no email hosting. You point your domain to the provider you choose, through our DNS or your own nameservers. ## How do I buy a domain at BuyDomainsCrypto? Search the name, top up in crypto, and the domain is registered from your balance: 1. [Search a domain](https://buydomainscrypto.com/app/domains/?lang=en). Availability is checked live through the registry's RDAP service. For a few extensions, such as .io, .co and .me, availability is confirmed at order. 2. Add the name to the cart and top up your balance (minimum $25) on the exact network shown. 3. The order moves from *Awaiting payment* to *Verifying* (payment checked on the blockchain), *Processing* (registration) and *Active*. Registration happens usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. Failed orders are covered: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. The full walk-through is on [how it works](https://buydomainscrypto.com/how-it-works/). ## Where can I find official facts about BuyDomainsCrypto? The [official facts page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/llm-info/) lists every key fact in one place: operator, prices of the main extensions, coins, minimum top-up, balance rule and policies. It is generated from the same data as the pricing page, so it never shows an old price. For machines, [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json) lists the first-year, renewal and transfer price of every extension, with the restrictions and the WHOIS privacy rule. ## How can I contact BuyDomainsCrypto? By email only. There is no phone line and no Telegram account. - **Support:** support@buydomainscrypto.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with DNS, transfers and renewals. - **Abuse reports and legal process:** abuse@buydomainscrypto.com, see [report abuse](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. What to include in a message is on the [contact page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/contact/). ## About BuyDomainsCrypto: FAQ ### Which company runs BuyDomainsCrypto? DomaineGoat LLC runs BuyDomainsCrypto and is the contracting party in our Terms of Service. BuyDomainsCrypto is a domain registration service paid only in crypto, with no KYC. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules. You can reach the team at support@buydomainscrypto.com, or at abuse@buydomainscrypto.com for abuse reports and legal process. ### Is BuyDomainsCrypto a domain registrar? BuyDomainsCrypto is a domain registration service: you search, pay and manage your domains with us. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules, including email verification, the Transfer Policy and the UDRP. Country-code extensions also follow the rules of their own registry. Your domain appears in the registry like any other registration. ### Do I own the domains I register at BuyDomainsCrypto? Yes. You are the registrant of each domain, identified by the one email you give us, and WHOIS privacy keeps it out of public lookups where the registry allows it. The transfer (auth or EPP) code is free, requested from the client area. With it, you can move the domain to another registrar under ICANN's Transfer Policy. Nothing ties a domain to our service once you decide to leave. ### Why does BuyDomainsCrypto accept only crypto? Crypto lets us sell without collecting names, card numbers or bank details. Card and bank payments carry the payer's identity, which would undo a no-KYC model. We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). You top up a prepaid balance, minimum $25, then pay registrations, renewals and transfers from it. ### Does BuyDomainsCrypto accept Monero or Bitcoin Lightning? No. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC only. Each coin has a named network: USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20). BTC, ETH, SOL and LTC use their own networks. Monero, Lightning, BNB Chain, Polygon and layer-2 networks are not accepted. Coins sent on another network may be lost. ### Does BuyDomainsCrypto sell Web3 domains like .eth or .crypto? No. BuyDomainsCrypto sells domains in the public DNS, such as .com, .io, .ai or .xyz, registered with their official registry. Blockchain names such as .eth or .crypto are a different system and are not sold here. Many Web3 projects still use a DNS domain for their website and email; see our page on domains for Web3 startups. ### Will BuyDomainsCrypto suspend my domain if someone complains? Not on a complaint alone. Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court; foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. The strict exceptions are phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, and fraud that takes money from victims. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP. Your registrant data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer. ### Why is the BuyDomainsCrypto .com price so close to cost? Because our prices are the wholesale cost plus a small margin. A .com costs $10.46 at wholesale today and $11.17 from 1 November 2026, registry and ICANN fee included. BuyDomainsCrypto sells it at $11.49/year, with the same price to renew. The margin pays for the service, not for a first-year discount. ## Sources 1.

Any other complaint needs a Panamanian court decision. Registrant data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent ICANN cases. ## Abuse desk at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Address | abuse@buydomainscrypto.com | | Phishing, malware, botnets | Suspension, within 24 hours of a well-documented report | | Child sexual abuse material | Suspension, immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority | | Fraud that takes money from victims | Suspension, within 24 hours of a well-documented report: fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand | | Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints | No suspension on a complaint alone: a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama) is needed | | Trademark disputes | UDRP: domain locked within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider; panel decisions applied | | Associated domains | Other domains in the same account are reviewed after a confirmed strict-exception case (phishing, malware, botnet, CSAM or fraud) | | Registrant data | Released only on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, child exploitation); in a UDRP case, the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider, as ICANN requires | | Rules we follow | ICANN 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement §3.18, with the DNS abuse amendments in force since 5 April 2024 | | Language | English | ## What is BuyDomainsCrypto's official takedown and data policy? Four rules, in force since 8 October 2026, apply to every domain: 1. **No takedown on a complaint alone.** A complaint about copyright, defamation, politics, or one sent by a competitor does not get a domain suspended. We need a decision from a Panamanian court; foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. 2. **Your data only goes out on a Panamanian court order.** We do not hand registrant data to a foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government without Panamanian legal process. The only exception: urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer, for an imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, or child exploitation. 3. **No ID, no KYC.** Only a verified email, kept private. Payment in crypto, WHOIS privacy included where the registry allows it. 4. **Strict exceptions, stated openly.** Phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, and fraud that takes money from victims (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand) lead to suspension, without waiting for a court. Trademark disputes follow the **UDRP**, because ICANN requires every registrar to apply it. The domain is locked, the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider, and the panel's decision is applied. We follow the UDRP as written. ## What counts as domain abuse? Domain abuse, for us, means phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, and fraud that takes money from victims (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand). These are the only cases where we suspend a domain on a well-documented report, without a Panamanian court decision. ICANN's 2024 amendments define **DNS abuse** as five things, all covered by our exceptions: - **Malware:** software that infects devices, served from or controlled through the domain, including crypto wallet drainers. - **Botnets:** command-and-control servers for networks of infected machines. - **Phishing:** pages that imitate a bank, an exchange, a wallet or a brand to steal credentials or funds. - **Pharming:** redirecting users to fake sites, for example through DNS hijacking. We treat it as phishing. - **Spam**, when it serves as a delivery mechanism for the four above. We also suspend **child sexual abuse material (CSAM)**, with zero tolerance, immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. We also suspend **fraud that takes money from victims** within 24 hours of a well-documented report: fake shops, fake investment and crypto platforms, wallet drainers, sites that impersonate a bank or a brand to deceive, and the sale of stolen data. **Everything else needs a decision from a Panamanian court.** Foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. We register domains; we do not host websites. Complaints about a site's content, such as copyright, defamation, political speech or a competitor's claims, go to the hosting provider or to the courts. We act on the domain when a Panamanian court decision or a UDRP decision requires it. ## What should an abuse report include? A report we can act on at once contains five things: 1. **The domain name**, or a list of domains, one per line. 2. **The full URLs** where the abuse is visible, for example the phishing page or the malware download. 3. **The type of abuse:** phishing, malware, botnet, pharming, spam, CSAM or fraud. 4. **Evidence:** screenshots, full email headers for a phishing email, malware hashes or a sandbox report, blocklist entries. 5. **Timestamps with timezone**, ideally in UTC, of when you saw the abuse. Plain-text email is fine, and no special format is needed. Reports from automated systems are welcome when each one carries this evidence. **Do not send CSAM files or images.** Send the URL and the time only. We report CSAM to the competent hotline or authority. ## What happens after you report abuse? Every report follows the same five steps. 1. **Acknowledge** — We acknowledge the report by email and ask for any missing detail, such as a URL or a timestamp. 2. **Check** — We check the evidence and the live content. Third-party blocklist entries count as evidence, not as proof on their own. 3. **Act** — We act within 24 hours of a well-documented report: the domain is suspended. Child sexual abuse material is handled immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. 4. **Review associated domains** — We review the other domains in the same account. Abuse campaigns often use several names at once. 5. **Close** — We tell the reporter whether we acted. Registrant data is never part of this reply. ## Why does BuyDomainsCrypto review other domains in the same account? Because phishing is often registered in batches. Interisle's Phishing Landscape 2025 found that 77% of phishing domains were registered for that purpose, and 37% through bulk registrations. When one domain is confirmed abusive, we review every other domain in the same account. We do this without any ID: the account itself links the domains. ICANN's policy body, the GNSO, started a policy process in January 2026 on such "associated domain checks", per Spamhaus. We already apply them. ## How does BuyDomainsCrypto handle UDRP complaints? We lock the domain within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider and apply the panel's decision. The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) lets a trademark owner act against a domain registered and used in bad faith. - **Notice:** an approved provider, such as WIPO, notifies the registrar of the complaint. - **Lock:** the registrar confirms the registrant details to the provider and locks the domain. It cannot move to another registrar or registrant while the case runs. - **Decision:** the panel orders a transfer, a cancellation, or rejects the complaint. We apply the decision as the UDRP requires. An email to us cannot transfer a domain to a trademark owner. File a complaint with an approved UDRP provider. Registrants should read our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/): registering a trademark in bad faith is banned. ## When does BuyDomainsCrypto disclose registrant data? Only on a **Panamanian court order**. We do not hand registrant data to a foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government without Panamanian legal process. Three things follow from ICANN rules, and we state them plainly: - **Urgent requests:** the only exception to the court-order rule. ICANN rules require registrars to answer urgent requests about an imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, or child exploitation, and we do. - **UDRP cases:** when a trademark complaint is filed, the registrar confirms the registrant details to the dispute provider handling the case, such as WIPO. This is part of the UDRP, which every ICANN-accredited registrar must apply. - **Disclosure requests:** ICANN's Registration Data Policy, in force since 21 August 2025, requires registrars to answer requests for registration data. We answer every request; outside urgent cases, the answer is no unless a Panamanian court order is attached. We can only release what we hold, and we never collect ID documents. We do not sell extensions whose registry publishes registrant data, such as .us. The full list of what we hold is in our [privacy policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/privacy/). Foreign authorities should use Panamanian legal process. Write to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com from an official address with the legal basis, the issuing authority, the domain names and any deadline. Reports of phishing, malware, botnets, CSAM or fraud against victims never need a court order: send them directly. ## What does ICANN require of registrars on abuse? ICANN requires a published abuse contact, a response to every report and prompt action against well-documented DNS abuse. The rules sit in section 3.18 of the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). Since 5 April 2024, amendments to the RAA require registrars to "promptly" take reasonable action to stop or disrupt well-documented DNS abuse. In the first six months, ICANN Compliance ran 192 investigations, and more than 2,700 abusive domains were suspended. Every BuyDomainsCrypto domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar, so these rules apply to every domain we sell. ## Why does a no-KYC domain service enforce abuse rules? Because abuse at one registrar harms every customer of that registrar. No KYC means no ID documents. It does not mean no rules. **The Trustname case.** Trustname marketed itself as a safe place for "sensitive niches" and was slow to act on phishing. ICANN sent it four breach notices in 78 days, starting in June 2026. A notice terminating its accreditation followed on 27 August 2026. ICANN noted two failures: Trustname asked for proof that credentials had been stolen before acting on phishing, and acted weeks after reports. **Public metrics.** ICANN's Domain Metrica, open to all since 18 February 2025, shows abuse concentration per registrar from reputation lists. Spamhaus ranks registrars by the share of their domains that are abusive, not by volume. A registrar with a high share sees its domains blocked and its customers' email filtered. So we suspend phishing, malware, botnets, CSAM and fraud against victims quickly, and nothing else without a Panamanian court decision. Honest customers keep the benefits: no ID, crypto payments, free WHOIS privacy where allowed, and the same public [prices](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) for everyone. ## Abuse reports: FAQ ### Does BuyDomainsCrypto take down websites? BuyDomainsCrypto acts on domains, not on hosting. We register domains and do not host websites. When a domain is suspended for abuse, it is taken out of service, so the website and email on that domain stop working. For content hosted elsewhere, also contact the hosting provider, which can remove the files themselves. ### Will BuyDomainsCrypto suspend a domain over a copyright or defamation complaint? Not on the complaint alone. Copyright, defamation, political and competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court before we suspend a domain; foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. Send the complaint to the hosting provider, or obtain a decision from a Panamanian court. The only cases we suspend on a well-documented report are phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, and fraud that takes money from victims (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand). Trademark disputes go through the UDRP. ### Can you tell me who registered a domain? Not without a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (threat to life, serious injury, critical infrastructure, child exploitation). We do not release registrant data to lawyers, companies or foreign governments on request. In a UDRP case, the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider, as ICANN requires. Public registration data is available through RDAP, for example at lookup.icann.org, but personal data there is usually redacted. ### How fast does BuyDomainsCrypto act on phishing? We act within 24 hours of a well-documented report. A report with the full URL, a screenshot and a timestamp is acted on fastest. We do not ask you to prove that credentials were stolen before we act. Child sexual abuse material is handled immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. ### I received a phishing email that uses one of your domains. What should I send? Forward the email with its full headers to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com, as an attachment if you can. Add the link the email points to, and the time you received it with your timezone. The headers show the sending servers and the domains involved. Do not click the link again to collect more evidence. ### Does no KYC mean abusers cannot be stopped? No. BuyDomainsCrypto stops domains and accounts, not identities. Abusive domains are suspended, the other domains in the same account are reviewed, and suspended domains get no refund. Every registrant also has a verified email, as ICANN requires. No KYC removes paperwork for honest customers. It does not remove our rules. ### My domain was suspended. What can I do? Write to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com from the registrant email, with the domain name. Explain what happened, for example a hacked website that has since been cleaned, and add evidence. We review the reply and answer by email. Suspensions for abuse carry no refund, as our Acceptable Use Policy states. ### Is a UDRP complaint the only way to recover a domain that infringes my trademark? It is the standard way for a domain registered and used in bad faith. File the complaint with an approved provider such as WIPO. We lock the domain within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider and apply the panel's decision. A decision from a Panamanian court is the other route. An email or a letter to us alone cannot transfer or suspend a domain. ## Sources 1.

Phishing, malware, fraud and CSAM mean suspension; a complaint alone never does. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) No KYC does not mean no rules. This policy lists what you may and may not do with a domain registered through BuyDomainsCrypto, and how we enforce it. It forms part of our [Terms of Service](https://buydomainscrypto.com/terms/). **Quick answer — What is not allowed on a BuyDomainsCrypto domain?** **BuyDomainsCrypto**, a no-KYC domain registration service paid in crypto, allows any lawful use of a domain. Twelve uses are banned, from phishing and malware to fraud, spam and bad-faith trademark registrations. Phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension, with no refund. For every other breach, a complaint alone is not enough: we act on a decision from a Panamanian court, or on a UDRP decision for trademarks. ## Policy summary | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Applies to | Every account and every domain registered through BuyDomainsCrypto, and anyone you let use them | | Allowed | Any lawful use: business, personal, projects, blogs, shops, parking, resale, privacy | | Banned | 12 categories, listed in section 3: phishing, malware, botnets, CSAM, fraud, scams, impersonation, sale of stolen data, spam, bad-faith trademark use, sanctions evasion, illegal goods | | Registrant duties | One working email per domain, verified as ICANN requires | | Enforcement | Strict exceptions (phishing, malware, botnets, fraud that takes money from victims): suspension within 24 hours of a well-documented report, no refund. CSAM: immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. Other breaches: action on a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama) or a UDRP decision, never on a complaint alone | | Child sexual abuse material | Suspension immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority | | Reports | abuse@buydomainscrypto.com, see [report abuse](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/) | | Effective | 8 October 2026 | ## 1. Who does this policy apply to? This policy applies to every BuyDomainsCrypto account and to every domain registered through BuyDomainsCrypto. It also covers anyone you allow to use your domains, such as a developer, a hosting provider or a client. You are responsible for what is published or sent with your domains. This policy forms part of our [Terms of Service](https://buydomainscrypto.com/terms/). If the two documents differ on a point, the stricter rule applies. "We" and "us" mean BuyDomainsCrypto and DomaineGoat LLC, the company that operates it. ## 2. What can I use a BuyDomainsCrypto domain for? You may use a domain for any lawful purpose, including: - **Business:** a company website, an online shop, a SaaS product or a landing page. - **Personal use:** a blog, a portfolio, a family site or your own email server. - **Projects:** open-source projects, developer tools, Web3 and crypto project websites that follow the law. - **Domain investing:** holding, parking and reselling domains, as long as the name does not target a trademark in bad faith. - **Privacy:** keeping your email out of public WHOIS and RDAP, with free WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it. A use that is not listed is allowed if it is lawful and not banned in section 3. Paying in crypto and registering without ID are lawful choices, not signs of abuse. ## 3. What is banned? You may not use a domain registered through BuyDomainsCrypto, or let anyone else use it, for the twelve uses below. They fall into two groups. **Strict exceptions: suspended on a well-documented report, without waiting for a court.** 1. **Phishing:** pages or emails that imitate a bank, an exchange, a wallet, a brand or a public body to collect credentials, card data or funds. 2. **Malware:** distributing malicious software, hosting exploit kits, or running crypto wallet drainers. 3. **Botnets:** command-and-control servers, and pharming or DNS hijacking that redirects users. 4. **Child sexual abuse material (CSAM):** zero tolerance, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. 5. **Fraud that takes money from victims:** fake shops, advance-fee schemes, fake invoices, fake support lines. 6. **Scam investment and crypto sites:** fake trading or investment platforms, "doubling" and giveaway scams, wallet drainers, fake exchanges and fake token sales. 7. **Impersonation to deceive:** passing yourself off as a bank, a brand, a government body or a person, to take money or data. 8. **Sale of stolen data:** card data, login credentials or personal data taken without consent. Items 1 to 3, and spam that delivers them, are DNS abuse as ICANN defines it. We act on items 1 to 3 and 5 to 8 within 24 hours of a well-documented report. CSAM is handled immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. **Also banned, but a complaint alone does not suspend a domain.** We act on a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama), or on a UDRP decision for trademarks: 9. **Spam:** unsolicited bulk messages sent from or advertising the domain, other than spam that delivers phishing or malware. 10. **Bad-faith trademark registrations:** registering a name that copies a trademark to sell it to the owner, to divert its customers or to harm it. These cases go through the UDRP. 11. **Sanctions evasion:** using the service to evade economic sanctions that apply to you or to us. 12. **Illegal goods and content:** selling illegal drugs or weapons, or content that a Panamanian court has ordered removed. Complaints about copyright, defamation, politics or from a competitor also need a decision from a Panamanian court. ## 4. What are my obligations as a registrant? Every registrant must follow ICANN's Registrants' Benefits and Responsibilities and the rules of the registry. In practice: - **A working, verified email.** It is the only data we ask for. ICANN rules require it: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). A domain whose email is never confirmed can be suspended. - **Keep it up to date.** Change the email of a domain in the client area if you stop using the old one. - **Extension rules.** Some registries add technical conditions: .app, .dev and .page require HTTPS, and .ai is sold 2 years at a time. We do not sell extensions that require more than an email, such as .us, .eu or .uk. Each [extension page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/) lists its rules. No ID document is ever required by us. The only check is the email. ## 5. How does BuyDomainsCrypto enforce this policy? We act on evidence, in two ways. **Strict exceptions: phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, and fraud that takes money from victims (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand), and the sale of stolen data.** A well-documented report is enough. We act within 24 hours of a well-documented report, and on CSAM immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. **Everything else: no takedown on a complaint alone.** Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama), and so do spam outside DNS abuse, sanctions evasion and court-ordered content removal. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP: the domain is locked within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider and the panel's decision is applied. Possible actions: - **Suspension of the domain**, which takes it out of service: website and email stop working. - **Lock of the domain**, so that it cannot be transferred while a case is open. - **Review of the other domains in the same account** after a confirmed exception case, because abuse campaigns often use several names. - **Closure of the account** for serious or repeated abuse. Registrant data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer, as described on our [abuse page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). ## 6. What happens to my payment if my domain is suspended? A domain suspended for abuse is not refunded. The registry fee is paid when the domain is registered, renewed or transferred, so the registration fee is not returned. Opening a new account to carry on after a suspension is a breach of this policy. Prices themselves are the same for every customer, on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). Refund rules for other cases are on the [refunds page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/). ## 7. How do I report a breach of this policy? Email abuse@buydomainscrypto.com with the domain, the full URLs, your evidence and timestamps. The [abuse page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/) explains what to include and what happens next. Do not send CSAM files: send the URL and the time only. ## 8. Can this policy change? Yes. When we change this policy, the new version shows its update date at the top of this page. The change is also listed in the [changelog](https://buydomainscrypto.com/changelog/). The new version applies from that date. If you do not accept it, you can transfer your domains to another registrar with their transfer code. --- BuyDomainsCrypto: BuyDomainsCrypto is a crypto-only domain registration service with no KYC: pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; .com costs $11.49/year with the same price to renew, free WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it. --- # Domain registrar alternatives that accept crypto > Registrar alternatives that accept crypto: Cloudflare, Namecheap, Porkbun, Dynadot, Njalla and NiceNIC compared.

"Not documented" means not found on the pages we checked. Full dataset: [crypto registrar matrix 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/). ## Why do people look for a registrar alternative that accepts crypto? Three reasons come up on the pages we checked on 8 October 2026: - **No crypto at all.** Cloudflare Registrar, the at-cost price reference, documents no crypto payment. - **Crypto with limits.** Namecheap takes crypto only as a balance top-up, and coins other than Bitcoin only through a BitPay wallet. Porkbun lists only USDC on its payment page. - **Identity checks.** Porkbun asks a subset of new accounts for a photo ID through Veriff. Stablecoin holders hit a fourth problem: no registrar that lists USDT names the network. BuyDomainsCrypto, a no-KYC domain registration service, accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20) and says so on every payment page. ## Alternative pages - **[Cloudflare Registrar alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/cloudflare-registrar/)** — At-cost prices but no crypto. How close to cost we sell, and when Cloudflare still fits. - **[Namecheap alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/namecheap/)** — Bitcoin only as a top-up, a $14.98 .com renewal, and possible ID checks in disputes. - **[Porkbun alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/porkbun/)** — USDC through Coinbase Business and a Veriff photo-ID check for some new accounts. - **[Dynadot alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/dynadot/)** — Near-cost prices and USDT, but no network named on its help page. - **[Njalla alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/njalla/)** — Njalla holds the domain and you get a right of use. Here you are the registrant. - **[NiceNIC alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/nicenic/)** — Many articles about paying in USDT, but no USDT network named in the ones we read. ## Rankings and data - **[Best domain registrars that accept crypto (2026)](https://buydomainscrypto.com/best/domain-registrars-that-accept-crypto/)** — 15 registrars ranked on coins, networks, KYC and the .com renewal. - **[Crypto registrar matrix 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/)** — Coins, network, processor, KYC, WHOIS privacy and .com price, with a source per row. - **[Crypto domain price index](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-domain-price-index/)** — 9 extensions, first year and renewal, against the at-cost floor. ## Does this registrar accept crypto?

When a fact comes from a search snippet or a third party, we say so. When we cannot confirm a fact, the cell says "not documented" or "not verified". Every comparison has a section on when the competitor is the better choice. Our own prices come straight from our [price list](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). Report an error to support@buydomainscrypto.com. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do these alternative pages favour BuyDomainsCrypto? They are published by BuyDomainsCrypto, so we list ourselves first, and each page says so. To keep them useful, every competitor fact has a dated source, and each page has a section on when the competitor is the better choice. On 8 October 2026, for example, Dynadot and Porkbun listed a cheaper .com than ours. ### Which alternative page should I read first? Start with the registrar you use today: [Cloudflare Registrar](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/cloudflare-registrar/), [Namecheap](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/namecheap/), [Porkbun](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/porkbun/), [Dynadot](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/dynadot/), [Njalla](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/njalla/) or [NiceNIC](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/nicenic/). If you are choosing from scratch, read the [ranking](https://buydomainscrypto.com/best/domain-registrars-that-accept-crypto/), then compare prices on our [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). Each page compares coins, networks, ID checks and prices, with dated sources, and ends with how to move a domain. ### Can I move my domains to BuyDomainsCrypto? Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its auth (EPP) code, top up your BuyDomainsCrypto balance in crypto (minimum $25) and order the transfer. A .com transfer costs $11.49. Step by step: [transfer a domain and pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). ### How often are these comparisons updated? Each page shows the date its competitor facts were checked; the current pages were checked on 8 October 2026. The .com wholesale cost rises on 1 November 2026, and we plan to re-check prices after that date. Our own prices come from our price list, so they are always current. ### Do I need an ID to register a domain without KYC? Not at BuyDomainsCrypto: no ID, no KYC, only a verified email, kept private. For gTLDs such as .com, ICANN rules require the registrar to verify the registrant email, not an ID. Extensions whose registry requires more than an email, such as .us, .eu, .fr or .it, are not sold. ## Sources 1.

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. ## Sources 1.

Ours: .com $11.49/year, USDT TRC-20, no KYC, crypto. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/dynadot/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) Dynadot is one of the cheapest registrars that take crypto. Its help page lists USDT and USDC without a network. Where the two services differ, and when Dynadot is the better choice. **Quick answer — Is there a Dynadot alternative that accepts USDT on TRC-20?** Yes. **BuyDomainsCrypto** is a Dynadot alternative that accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on ERC-20, with no KYC. As of 8 October 2026, Dynadot's help page lists USDT and USDC but does not say which network. Dynadot sells a .com at $10.88; BuyDomainsCrypto at $11.49/year, the same to renew, paid in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). ## Key facts (as of 8 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Dynadot crypto | BTC direct; BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, DOGE and others via BitPay; USDC; USDT | | Dynadot USDT network | Not stated on its help page | | Dynadot minimum and refunds | $1 minimum order; crypto refunds as account credit only | | Dynadot .com | $10.88 first year, $10.88 to renew | | BuyDomainsCrypto networks | USDT on TRC-20 (20 confirmations) or ERC-20 (12); USDC on ERC-20; BTC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | BuyDomainsCrypto .com | $11.49/year first year and renewal, no KYC | ## Does Dynadot accept USDT? Yes. As of 8 October 2026, Dynadot's crypto help page lists USDT, USDC and Bitcoin paid directly (read as a search snippet). It also lists BitPay for BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, DOGE and others. The page does not say which network USDT or USDC must be sent on. Dynadot announced its expanded crypto payments in March 2024; an older page also mentions Coinbase Commerce. Our dated answer: [Does Dynadot accept crypto?](https://buydomainscrypto.com/does/dynadot-accept-crypto/) ## Why does the USDT network matter? Because USDT exists on several blockchains, and the sender must use the one the receiver watches. TRC-20 (Tron) and ERC-20 (Ethereum) are common choices; BNB Chain, Polygon and others carry USDT too. A payment sent on the wrong chain may need a manual recovery, or be lost. BuyDomainsCrypto names the network on every payment page: USDT on TRC-20, credited after 20 confirmations, or on ERC-20, after 12. The amount is locked for 30 minutes. A TRC-20 transfer uses Tron energy and bandwidth, paid in TRX; an ERC-20 transfer pays Ethereum gas. See [pay with USDT on TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/) and [USDT on ERC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-erc20/). ## Dynadot vs BuyDomainsCrypto: prices per year First year / renewal, in US dollars. | Extension | Dynadot | BuyDomainsCrypto | | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $10.88 / $10.88 | $11.49 / $11.49 | | .net | $12.52 / $12.52 | $12.19 / $12.19 | | .org | $7.99 / $11.64 | $8.79 / $11.49 | | .io | $28.89 / $53.50 | $32.99 / $50.49 | | .co | $15.50 / $31.20 | $30.69 / $30.69 | | .xyz | $1.99 / $14.45 | $11.49 / $11.49 | | .ai (per year, 2-year minimum) | $85.60 / $85.60 | $81.99 / $81.99 | | .app | $14.00 / $14.50 | $8.49 / $14.49 | | .dev | $12.00 / $12.50 | $8.49 / $12.49 | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* Dynadot prices as of 8 October 2026, per its pricing page.

Not for the price: Dynadot sells close to the wholesale cost. People look elsewhere for the payment details: - **The USDT network is not stated** on its help page, as of 8 October 2026. - **SOL is not named** among its accepted coins. - **Refunds are account credit only** for crypto payments. BuyDomainsCrypto, a no-KYC domain registration service, states every network before you send and also takes SOL, the cheapest coin to send for a small top-up. See [pay with Solana](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/solana/). ## Is Dynadot cheaper than BuyDomainsCrypto? On .com, yes, as of 8 October 2026: $10.88 against our $11.49/year. Its first-year promos on .io, .co and .xyz are lower too. On renewals, BuyDomainsCrypto is lower or level on the other 8 extensions in the table above, from .net to .dev. One date matters. From 1 November 2026, the wholesale cost of a .com is $11.17, above the $10.88 Dynadot listed on 8 October. Check Dynadot's price after that date. Our .com price is already set above the new floor. More: [.com price increase](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/). ## When is Dynadot still the better choice? - **You want the lowest .com today** and pay in a coin Dynadot lists. - **You want to start small:** Dynadot's minimum order is $1, against our $25 minimum top-up. - **You pay in BCH or DOGE** through BitPay. We do not accept them. - **You want a cheap first year** on .io, .co or .xyz. Choose BuyDomainsCrypto when you want the network stated before you send USDT or USDC, or want to pay in SOL. One balance also pays for many names: see [bulk domain registration with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/bulk-domain-registration-crypto/). ## How to move a domain from Dynadot 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. **Unlock and get the auth code** — At Dynadot, 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 from $25. Pick the coin and the network on the payment page, then use the same network in your wallet. 3. **Order the transfer** — Start the transfer with the auth code. A .com transfer costs $11.49, paid from your balance. 4. **Set auto-renew** — Choose auto-renew for each domain: automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which USDT network does Dynadot accept? Its help page does not say, as of 8 October 2026: it lists USDT and USDC without a network. Ask Dynadot before you send. At BuyDomainsCrypto you choose USDT on Tron (TRC-20), credited after 20 confirmations, or on Ethereum (ERC-20), after 12. USDC is accepted on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. ### Does Dynadot accept Solana? SOL is not named on Dynadot's crypto help page, as of 8 October 2026. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts native SOL on the Solana network, credited after 1 confirmation, with the amount locked for 30 minutes. SPL tokens, including USDC on Solana, are not accepted. ### Is Dynadot cheaper than BuyDomainsCrypto for a .com? Yes, on 8 October 2026: $10.88 against $11.49/year. The wholesale cost of a .com rises to $11.17 on 1 November 2026, above Dynadot's October price, so check its price after that date. On most other extensions in our table, our renewal is lower or level. ### Does Dynadot ask for ID? We found no identity-check rule on the Dynadot pages we checked on 8 October 2026. That is not the same as "never". BuyDomainsCrypto states its rule: no KYC, no ID, no selfie, only a verified email, as ICANN rules require for gTLDs such as .com. ### What is the minimum payment at BuyDomainsCrypto? The minimum top-up is $25, against a $1 minimum order at Dynadot. It is a balance, not a single order: the amount stays on your account, never expires, and pays registrations, renewals and transfers. A .com costs $11.49/year. The balance is not refundable. ### How long does a transfer from Dynadot take? For .com and other gTLDs, a transfer usually completes within 5 days after you start it with the auth code. The old registrar can approve it sooner. At BuyDomainsCrypto a .com transfer costs $11.49 and adds one year of registration, as with every gTLD transfer. ## Sources 1.

Four facts from Namecheap's own pages explain most searches, as of 8 October 2026: 1. **Bitcoin only, unless you use BitPay.** BTCPay takes BTC; other coins need a BitPay wallet. 2. **Crypto only as a top-up.** You add funds first, then pay orders from the balance. 3. **The renewal jump.** The $6.99 first-year .com needs a new-customer code; the renewal is $14.98, more than double. 4. **Possible ID checks.** Namecheap's terms allow it to ask for a government ID and a selfie through Veriff in a dispute or abuse case. BuyDomainsCrypto, a no-KYC domain registration service, also uses a prepaid balance. The difference: six coins with named networks, no ID check, and the same .com price every year. Pay with [USDT on TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/) or [Bitcoin](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/bitcoin/). ## Is Namecheap cheaper than BuyDomainsCrypto? For the first year of a .com, yes, with a promo code: $6.99 against $11.49. Over 5 years, no. A .com at Namecheap costs $66.91 over 5 years: the promo year plus 4 renewals at $14.98. At BuyDomainsCrypto it costs $11.49 plus 4 renewals at $11.49. On renewals, Namecheap is higher on all 9 extensions in the table above, as of 8 October 2026. Its .co, for example, starts at $8.18 and renews at $45.68, while the registry floor is $30.00. More comparisons: [crypto domain price index](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-domain-price-index/). ## When is Namecheap still the better choice? - **You want the lowest first year** and may move the domain later. The $6.99 code beats our first-year .com price. - **You only hold Bitcoin** and already use Namecheap: BTCPay takes any Bitcoin wallet, from $1. - **You want web hosting or email in the same account.** BuyDomainsCrypto sells domains and DNS only. Choose BuyDomainsCrypto when you pay in stablecoins or altcoins, want no ID check, and care about the renewal price. ## How to move a domain from Namecheap 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. **Unlock and get the auth code** — At Namecheap, remove the transfer lock and request the domain's 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, from $25. Pick the network on the payment page: USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20. 3. **Order the transfer** — Start the transfer with the auth code. A .com transfer costs $11.49, paid from your balance. 4. **Set renewals** — Once the domain is active, choose auto-renew per domain: automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Namecheap accept USDT or USDC? Not directly, as of 8 October 2026. Namecheap takes Bitcoin through BTCPay, and Bitcoin and other coins only through a BitPay wallet; neither help page names a USDT network. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20) and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), at the dollar price, with no KYC. ### Can I pay a Namecheap order directly in crypto? No. As of 8 October 2026, Namecheap takes crypto only to add funds to the account balance, through BTCPay or BitPay. The balance then pays for orders. BuyDomainsCrypto works the same way, with a minimum top-up of $25, but accepts six coins, including USDT on TRC-20 and SOL. ### Why does a Namecheap .com renew at $14.98? Namecheap's $6.99 first year comes from the new-customer code NEWCOM679; the renewal is $14.98, per domainoffer.net on 8 October 2026, ICANN fee included. The wholesale cost of a .com is $10.46, rising to $11.17 on 1 November 2026. BuyDomainsCrypto renews a .com at $11.49/year. ### Does Namecheap ask for ID? Sometimes. Namecheap's terms allow it to ask for a government ID and a selfie through Veriff in a dispute or abuse case, per its knowledge base. BitPay, one of its crypto processors, asks for ID above $3,000. BuyDomainsCrypto has no KYC: no ID, no selfie, only a verified email, kept private. ### How long does a transfer from Namecheap take? For .com and other gTLDs, a transfer usually completes within 5 days after you start it with the auth code. The old registrar can approve it sooner. For .com, the transfer price at BuyDomainsCrypto, $11.49, includes one more year of registration, as with every gTLD transfer. ### Will I keep WHOIS privacy after moving? Yes. BuyDomainsCrypto gives free WHOIS privacy on every extension it sells, and you switch it on or off for each domain. Extensions whose registry forbids privacy, such as .us and .es, are not sold. See [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). ### Which coins can I use at BuyDomainsCrypto? Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). USDT goes on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. Not accepted: Monero, Lightning, BNB Chain, Polygon, layer-2 networks, cards, PayPal and bank transfers. See [pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/). ## Sources 1.

None of the ones we read says which network. What its pages say, and when NiceNIC is still the better choice. **Quick answer — Is there a NiceNIC alternative that states the USDT network?** Yes. **BuyDomainsCrypto** is a NiceNIC alternative that accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on ERC-20, with no KYC. As of 8 October 2026, NiceNIC's own pages list USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH and LTC through the processor TripleA. None of the articles we read names the USDT network.

Yes, according to its own pages. As of 8 October 2026, NiceNIC says it accepts USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH and LTC, through the processor TripleA. One of its articles also mentions Lightning, PYUSD and Binance Pay. Its home page advertises crypto payment and free WHOIS privacy. NiceNIC publishes many translated articles on the topic, such as a practical guide to buying a domain with USDT. None of the articles we read says whether USDT goes on TRC-20, ERC-20 or another chain. Our dated answer: [Does NiceNIC accept crypto?](https://buydomainscrypto.com/does/nicenic-accept-crypto/) ## Why does the USDT network matter? Because the same USDT exists on several blockchains, and the sender must use the one the receiver watches. A payment sent on the wrong chain may need a manual recovery, or be lost. BuyDomainsCrypto states the network before you send: - **USDT on Tron (TRC-20)**: credited after 20 confirmations. Fees are paid in TRX. - **USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20)**: credited after 12 confirmations. Gas is paid in ETH. - **USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20)** only: credited after 12 confirmations. Not accepted: BNB Chain (BEP-20), Polygon, Arbitrum, Base and other layer-2 networks.

Our prices: first year / renewal, per year, on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). ## Why do people look for a NiceNIC alternative? Two reasons stand out on the pages we read on 8 October 2026: - **The USDT network is not named.** Stablecoin holders must guess, or ask support, before they send. - **Verification is not ruled out.** NiceNIC writes that WHOIS protection does not remove verification requirements. We could only read NiceNIC's .com and .io prices in search snippets, so we cannot compare renewals with confidence. BuyDomainsCrypto, a no-KYC domain registration service, publishes the first year, renewal and transfer price of every extension in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). ## What does a .io cost at BuyDomainsCrypto? A .io costs $32.99 the first year and $50.49 to renew at BuyDomainsCrypto, paid in crypto with no KYC. The at-cost price at Cloudflare is $32.00, then $50.00, as of 8 October 2026. NiceNIC showed $49.99 for the first year in a search snippet. The .io registry is tied to the Chagos Islands question: read [is .io safe in 2026?](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/is-io-safe-2026/) and the [.io page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/io/). ## When is NiceNIC still the better choice? - **You want to pay with Lightning, PYUSD or Binance Pay**, which one NiceNIC article mentions. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts none of them. - **You prefer guides in your own language.** NiceNIC publishes its articles in many languages; our site is in English. - **Your domains are already there** and renew at a price you accept. Choose BuyDomainsCrypto when you want the network stated before you send USDT or USDC, and every price public before you pay. ## How to move a domain from NiceNIC 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. **Unlock and get the auth code** — At NiceNIC, unlock the domain and get 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 USDT** — Top up your BuyDomainsCrypto balance from $25. Choose TRC-20 or ERC-20 on the payment page and the same network in your wallet. 3. **Order the transfer** — Start the transfer with the auth code. A .com transfer costs $11.49, paid from your balance. 4. **Set renewals** — Choose auto-renew for each domain: automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which USDT network does NiceNIC accept? None of the NiceNIC articles we read on 8 October 2026 names the network: they list USDT without saying TRC-20, ERC-20 or another chain. Ask NiceNIC before you send. At BuyDomainsCrypto you choose USDT on Tron (TRC-20), credited after 20 confirmations, or on Ethereum (ERC-20), after 12. ### Does BuyDomainsCrypto accept Lightning or Binance Pay? No. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, on-chain only. Lightning, Binance Pay, BNB Chain (BEP-20), Polygon and layer-2 networks are not accepted. You can withdraw USDT from an exchange on TRC-20 or ERC-20 and pay with it. See [pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/). ### Does NiceNIC require identity verification? NiceNIC writes that WHOIS protection does not remove verification requirements; its pages we read do not say when an ID is needed. BuyDomainsCrypto has no KYC: no ID, no selfie, only a verified email. ICANN rules require that email check for gTLDs such as .com, and the email stays private where the registry allows it. ### How much does a .com cost at NiceNIC? We could only read about $11.99 for a .com in a search snippet on 8 October 2026. Treat it as not verified, and check the renewal price before you buy. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $11.49/year for the first year and the same to renew, published in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). ### Can I pay for many domains with one USDT payment? Yes. Top up your BuyDomainsCrypto balance once in USDT (minimum $25), then register, renew or transfer many domains from it. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. See [bulk domain registration with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/bulk-domain-registration-crypto/). ### How long does a USDT payment take to credit? USDT on TRC-20 is credited after 20 confirmations, and on ERC-20 after 12. The amount is locked for 30 minutes, so send within that window. Registration then happens usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. ## Sources 1. [NiceNIC home page](https://www.nicenic.net/) — NiceNIC (2026-10-08) 2.

That is a privacy model, not ownership. What it means, what BuyDomainsCrypto does differently, and when Njalla is still the better choice. **Quick answer — Is there a Njalla alternative where I own the domain?** Yes. At **BuyDomainsCrypto**, a Njalla alternative with no KYC, you are the registrant of your own domain: no ID, only a verified email, kept private. Njalla registers each domain in its own name and gives you a right of use, so Njalla is the legal holder. BuyDomainsCrypto sells a .com at $11.49/year, against €15 (about $16.88) at Njalla, paid in crypto. It does not accept Monero. ## Key facts (as of 8 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Njalla model | Njalla is the registrant of record; the customer has a right of use | | Njalla coins | BTC, LTC, XMR, ETH, plus PayPal | | Njalla .com | €15 a year (about $16.88), flat price | | Njalla sign-up | No ID; an email or XMPP account (per a third-party review) | | BuyDomainsCrypto model | You are the registrant; free WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it | | BuyDomainsCrypto coins | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; no Monero | | BuyDomainsCrypto .com | $11.49/year, same price to renew | ## Who owns a domain bought through Njalla? Njalla does. As of 8 October 2026, Njalla's FAQ explains that it registers the domain in its own name and lets the customer use it. The customer has a right of use, not the registration itself. ICANN's 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement covers this model in section 3.7.7.3. A registrant that licenses a domain to someone else remains the registered name holder. It accepts liability for harm caused by wrongful use. It avoids that liability only by disclosing the user's contact details within 7 days to a party with reasonable evidence of actionable harm. Our dated answer: [Does Njalla accept crypto?](https://buydomainscrypto.com/does/njalla-accept-crypto/) ## What changes when you own the domain? You hold the registration, so you control it. At BuyDomainsCrypto, from the client area, you can: - request the transfer (auth) code, free, requested from the client area; - switch the transfer lock on or off; - change nameservers or DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, CAA); - turn auto-renew and WHOIS privacy on or off. Changes are applied by our team, with a reference number. Your email, the only data we collect, stays out of public WHOIS where the registry allows it. It sits in the registrar's records, as ICANN requires, and only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (in a UDRP case, it is confirmed to the dispute provider). See [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). Prefer the Njalla model, where the registry shows the provider instead of you? Choose [Registered in our name](https://buydomainscrypto.com/registered-in-our-name/), at +$90 a year: DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record, and you keep a written right to take the domain back in your name, free. ## Njalla vs BuyDomainsCrypto: prices per year Njalla charges one flat yearly price in euros.

Three reasons, from Njalla's own pages as of 8 October 2026: - **Ownership.** Njalla is the registrant; you have a right of use. Some buyers want the domain in their own name, for example to sell it later or to use it for a company. - **Stablecoins.** Njalla lists BTC, LTC, XMR and ETH, but no USDT or USDC. - **Price.** A .com costs €15 a year at Njalla; a .xyz, .app or .dev €30. BuyDomainsCrypto, a no-KYC domain registration service, makes you the registrant and still keeps your details out of public WHOIS where the registry allows it. ## When is Njalla still the better choice? - **You must pay in Monero.** Njalla accepts XMR; BuyDomainsCrypto does not. - **You want a third party to be the registrant** and accept that Njalla, not you, holds the domain. - **You want to pay with PayPal.** Njalla lists it; we take crypto only. Choose BuyDomainsCrypto when you want to own the domain, pay in stablecoins or SOL, and pay less for a .com. ## How to move a domain from Njalla to BuyDomainsCrypto Because Njalla is the registrant, read its FAQ on how it hands a domain over before you start. The general steps are in [transfer a domain and pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). 1. **Ask Njalla for the hand-over** — Ask Njalla to unlock the domain and give you its auth (EPP) code. Keep the code 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, from $25. 3. **Order the transfer** — Start the transfer with the auth code and your email. A .com transfer costs $11.49. 4. **Switch privacy on** — Turn WHOIS privacy on where the registry allows it, so your details stay out of public WHOIS. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is a domain bought through Njalla legally mine? No. Njalla registers the domain in its own name and gives you a right of use, per its FAQ, checked on 8 October 2026. Under ICANN's 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement, the registrant of record remains the registered name holder. At BuyDomainsCrypto you are the registrant of your own domain, with no KYC. ### Does BuyDomainsCrypto accept Monero? No. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). Monero, Lightning, BNB Chain, Polygon and layer-2 networks are not accepted. If you must pay in Monero, Njalla, 1984 Hosting and OrangeWebsite list XMR, as of 8 October 2026. See the [crypto registrar matrix](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/). ### Is my name public if I own the domain? No. We collect one email per domain, nothing else, so there is no name to publish, and WHOIS privacy is free on every extension we sell. Extensions whose registry publishes or checks more are sold registered in our name only, such as .uk or .de, or not sold, such as .us or .es. See [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). ### Do I need an ID to register at BuyDomainsCrypto? No. There is 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 is kept private where the registry allows it. See [no-KYC domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/). ### When is my data disclosed? Only on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, child exploitation). In a UDRP dispute, the registrar must lock the domain and confirm the registrant data to the provider; we lock it within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider. A complaint alone never suspends a domain, except phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims. See our [abuse policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). ### Is BuyDomainsCrypto cheaper than Njalla? On most extensions, yes. A .com costs $11.49/year at BuyDomainsCrypto, against €15 (about $16.88) at Njalla, as of 8 October 2026. Njalla charges €30 for .xyz, .app and .dev; see the table above for ours. Njalla's flat €45 for .io is close to the at-cost renewal of $50.00. ## Sources 1. [Njalla FAQ](https://njal.la/faq/) — Njalla (2026-10-08) 2.

Unclear. As of 8 October 2026, Porkbun's payment-options page lists USDC through Coinbase Business only, while its /bitcoin page mentions "several forms of cryptocurrency" through Coinbase. The two pages do not match. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network, credited after 2 confirmations, plus USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL and LTC. ### Why does Porkbun ask for my ID? Porkbun's knowledge base says it asks a subset of new accounts to verify a photo ID through Veriff, based on geographic and other signals. BuyDomainsCrypto never asks for an ID: no KYC, no selfie, only a verified email, which ICANN rules require for gTLDs such as .com. ### Can I pay BuyDomainsCrypto with USDC from Coinbase? Yes, if you send USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20). It is credited after 12 confirmations, at the dollar price. USDC on Solana, Base, Polygon or other networks is not accepted, so pick Ethereum in the withdrawal screen. The minimum top-up is $25. ### Is a Porkbun .com cheaper than a BuyDomainsCrypto .com? Yes, slightly. On 8 October 2026 Porkbun listed a .com at $11.08 for the first year and the renewal. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $11.49/year for both. The .com wholesale cost rises from $10.46 to $11.17 on 1 November 2026, so check Porkbun's price after that date. ### How long does a transfer from Porkbun take? For .com and other gTLDs, a transfer usually completes within 5 days after you start it with the auth code. The old registrar can approve it sooner. At BuyDomainsCrypto a .com transfer costs $11.49 and adds one year of registration, as with every gTLD transfer. ### What happens if my registration fails? At BuyDomainsCrypto, if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. You can use it for another domain, a renewal or a transfer. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. ## Sources 1.

Prices per each registrar's pricing page (Porkbun, Dynadot, Njalla, 1984 Hosting, OrangeWebsite), cfdomainpricing.com (Cloudflare) or domainoffer.net (the others). Namecheap and Hostinger prices include the $0.20 ICANN fee. "Not documented" means not found on the pages we checked, not "no". ## Which domain registrar accepts USDT on TRC-20? BuyDomainsCrypto accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) and says so on every payment page. As of 8 October 2026, three other registrars list USDT: Dynadot, NameSilo (through Nicky) and NiceNIC. None of them names the network on the pages we read. Namecheap takes coins other than Bitcoin only through a BitPay wallet. The network matters. USDT sent on a chain the receiver does not watch may need a manual recovery, or be lost. At BuyDomainsCrypto you pick TRC-20 or ERC-20 on the payment page; TRC-20 is credited after 20 confirmations, ERC-20 after 12. Details: [pay with USDT on TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/) and [USDT on ERC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-erc20/). ## What is the cheapest .com you can pay for in crypto? Dynadot had the lowest regular .com price among registrars with confirmed crypto. As of 8 October 2026, per its pricing page, it charged $10.88 for the first year and the renewal. Porkbun followed at $11.08, paid in USDC. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $11.49/year for both, paid in any of BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Two things change the picture: - **Promo codes.** Namecheap's $6.99 first year needs a new-customer code, and its renewal is $14.98. Spaceship's $2.90 needs a code too, and its crypto payment is not confirmed. - **The 1 November 2026 increase.** Verisign raises the .com wholesale fee from $10.26 to $10.97. With the $0.20 ICANN fee, the floor moves from $10.46 to $11.17. See the [.com price increase](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/), the [crypto domain price index](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-domain-price-index/) and our [price list](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). ## Which crypto registrars ask for ID? Two of the 15 document a photo-ID check. Porkbun asks a subset of new accounts to verify a photo ID through Veriff, based on geographic and other signals. Namecheap's terms allow it to ask for a government ID and a selfie in a dispute or abuse case. BitPay, one of its processors, asks for ID above $3,000. 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. BuyDomainsCrypto follows them: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). Read [no-KYC domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/) for what we check and what we never ask. ## Does Cloudflare Registrar accept crypto? No. As of 8 October 2026, Cloudflare Registrar documents no cryptocurrency payment. It sells at the registry and ICANN cost with no markup, so we list it as the price benchmark. Its .com costs $10.46, and $11.17 from 1 November 2026. BuyDomainsCrypto sells a .com at $11.49/year, a small margin above that floor, and takes only crypto. See the [Cloudflare Registrar alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/cloudflare-registrar/). ## How did we rank these registrars? We read each registrar's own payment, help and pricing pages on 8 October 2026. Prices for Namecheap, NameSilo, Gandi, Hostinger, Spaceship, Epik and Unstoppable Domains come from domainoffer.net, updated the same day. Cloudflare's come from cfdomainpricing.com. Some pages could only be read as search-result snippets; the [matrix](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/) marks them. The order follows three tests. First, crypto confirmed on the registrar's own pages. Second, the .com renewal price, because you pay it every year. Third, the coins and networks named. Registrars without confirmed crypto come last. Sav is left out: we found no sign that it accepts crypto. ## What are the downsides of BuyDomainsCrypto? BuyDomainsCrypto, a no-KYC domain registration service, has limits too: - **Minimum top-up $25.** Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. - **Crypto only.** No card, no PayPal, no bank transfer. No Monero, no Lightning, no BNB Chain (BEP-20), no Polygon or layer-2 networks. - **No first-year promo.** On 8 October 2026, Dynadot ($10.88) and Porkbun ($11.08) listed a cheaper .com. - **Domains and DNS only.** No web hosting and no email hosting. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules. Phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension, as our [acceptable use policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/) says. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which domain registrars accept crypto in 2026? As of 8 October 2026, 10 of the 15 registrars we checked confirm crypto on their own pages. They are Dynadot, Porkbun, Namecheap, NameSilo, Gandi, Hostinger, Njalla, 1984 Hosting, OrangeWebsite and NiceNIC. Spaceship and Epik are not confirmed, and Unstoppable Domains only for Web3 names. Cloudflare Registrar documents no crypto. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. ### Which registrar accepts USDT on TRC-20? BuyDomainsCrypto accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20), credited after 20 confirmations, and USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20), after 12. Dynadot, NameSilo and NiceNIC list USDT, but none names the network on the pages we read on 8 October 2026. Always pick the same network in your wallet and on the payment page. ### What is the cheapest .com I can pay for in crypto? On 8 October 2026, Dynadot listed a .com at $10.88 for the first year and the renewal, and Porkbun at $11.08, paid in USDC. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $11.49/year for both. Namecheap's $6.99 first year needs a new-customer promo code and renews at $14.98. The .com wholesale cost rises to $11.17 on 1 November 2026. ### Do I need to pass KYC to buy a domain with crypto? Not at BuyDomainsCrypto: no KYC, no ID, no selfie, only a verified email, kept private. Elsewhere it depends. Porkbun asks a subset of new accounts for a photo ID through Veriff, and Namecheap's terms allow an ID and selfie check in a dispute. For gTLDs such as .com, ICANN rules require every registrar to verify the registrant email. ### Which registrars accept Monero for domains? Njalla, 1984 Hosting and OrangeWebsite list Monero (XMR), as of 8 October 2026. BuyDomainsCrypto does not accept Monero: it takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, with USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20. If Monero is a must, one of those three fits better. Note that Njalla registers the domain in its own name, so you do not hold it yourself. ### Can I pay for domain renewals with crypto? Yes. At BuyDomainsCrypto, one prepaid balance pays registrations, renewals and transfers, with automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. Top up in crypto from $25. A .com renews at $11.49/year, the same as the first year. Namecheap and NameSilo also use crypto only to fund an account balance. ### Is it safe to buy a domain with crypto? Yes, when the service follows ICANN rules and names its networks. At BuyDomainsCrypto, every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules. The crypto amount is locked for 30 minutes. As for failed orders: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. Send only on the network you picked on the payment page. ### Why is BuyDomainsCrypto ranked first? Because we publish this page, and the ranking says so. We list ourselves first for stablecoin payers: named networks, no KYC and the same .com price every year. On price alone, Dynadot and Porkbun listed a slightly cheaper .com on 8 October 2026. Every competitor fact has a source, and the full data is in the [matrix](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/). ## Sources (checked 8 October 2026) 1.

Each has a page that explains why. - **Sold registered in our name only (9 October 2026):** .de, .uk, .nl, .cc, .to, .ch, .pl, .be, .at, .cz, .nz, .fi. The registry receives our company's details, never yours; the price includes $90 a year for the option. - **Prices per year in US dollars**, set at the registry's wholesale cost plus a small margin. Examples: .com $11.49/year, .net $12.19/year, .io $32.99/year the first year, .ai $81.99/year (sold 2 years at a time). - **Same price to register and renew** on .com, .net, .co, .xyz and .ai. - Every price published on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) and in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). ### Payments - **Crypto only:** Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). - **7 coin-and-network options.** BTC on Bitcoin, ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana and LTC on Litecoin.

Only a verified registrant email, as ICANN requires. - **Free WHOIS privacy** on every extension we sell. - [Terms of Service](https://buydomainscrypto.com/terms/), [Privacy Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/privacy/), [Refunds and balance](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/), [Acceptable Use Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/) and an [abuse desk](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/) at abuse@buydomainscrypto.com. ### Data and comparisons - [Crypto registrar matrix 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/): 15 registrars, their coins, networks, KYC rules and prices, checked on 8 October 2026. - [Crypto domain price index](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-domain-price-index/): first-year and renewal prices for the main extensions, with dated sources. - [Best domain registrars that accept crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/best/domain-registrars-that-accept-crypto/), with the same check date. ## What does BuyDomainsCrypto not offer on 8 October 2026?

We never backdate an entry. If an entry is wrong, we add a dated correction under it. ## Changelog: FAQ ### Why does the BuyDomainsCrypto changelog have only one entry? Because BuyDomainsCrypto launched on 8 October 2026, and we do not backdate entries. The first entry describes the service at launch: 55 extensions, 6 coins on 7 coin-and-network options, free WHOIS privacy where allowed, and the published policies. New entries will be added as prices, coins, features or policies change, newest first. ### Will the .com price change on 1 November 2026? The .com registry fee rises that day, from $10.26 to $10.97, so the wholesale floor becomes $11.17 with the ICANN fee. Our .com costs $11.49/year, already above that floor. If our price changes, the change will be listed here with its date, and orders already paid keep their price. ### Will price changes appear in the changelog? Yes. Every change to a first-year, renewal or transfer price is listed as a Price entry with its date. A price change never applies to an order you have already paid. Current prices are always on the pricing page and in pricing.json, which are generated from the same data as this site. ### How will I know when a policy changes? Each change to one of our four policies gets a Policy entry here, with its date and a short summary. The four are the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, the refunds policy and the Acceptable Use Policy. The policy page itself also shows its new update date. The new version applies from that date. ### Will BuyDomainsCrypto add Monero or Lightning? Not as of 8 October 2026. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC only, on 7 coin-and-network options. We make no promise about future coins. If a coin or network is added, it will appear here as an Added entry with its date, and on the pay-with-crypto pages. **See the current prices** .com $11.49/year, paid in crypto. No KYC.

Include what we need to find your domain or payment, and nothing that unlocks your account: - **The domain name**, for example `example.com`, exactly as registered. - **The order reference** shown in the client area, for any question about an order. - **For a payment:** the coin, the network, the exact amount sent and the time you sent it. A payment is matched by its exact amount: we never ask for your TXID or your wallet address. - **For a change** to DNS, nameservers, the transfer lock or WHOIS privacy: the reference number shown when you made the request. Changes are applied by our team, and the reference lets us find yours at once. - **The time** of the problem, with your timezone, and any error message, copied as text. **Never send a password, a transfer (EPP) code or a wallet seed phrase.** We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. ## What will BuyDomainsCrypto never ask for? Support will never ask you for: - an ID document, a selfie or proof of address: there is no KYC; - your password or a login code; - the transfer (auth or EPP) code of a domain; - a wallet seed phrase or private key; - a payment to an address sent by email. Deposit addresses appear only on the payment page of the client area, after you start a top-up. If anyone asks for one of these items in our name, it is not us. Forward the message to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com. ## Does BuyDomainsCrypto offer phone or Telegram support? No. BuyDomainsCrypto supports customers by email only, at support@buydomainscrypto.com. We have no phone line, no Telegram account and no live chat. Written support keeps a record of what was agreed, for you and for us. It also makes impersonation harder: our replies come only from buydomainscrypto.com addresses. Treat any other account that uses our name with caution. ## How fast does BuyDomainsCrypto support answer? Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with DNS, transfers and renewals. Abuse reports go to a separate address and we act within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Many questions are answered faster by our pages: - payments, confirmations and order status: [how it works](https://buydomainscrypto.com/how-it-works/); - prices of every extension: [pricing](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/); - failed orders and balance rules: [refunds and balance](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/); - moving a domain to us: [transfer a domain and pay in crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/); - everything else: the [FAQ](https://buydomainscrypto.com/faq/). ## Which languages does support speak?

Our replies are in English, so that technical terms stay unambiguous. ## Contacting BuyDomainsCrypto: FAQ ### Will BuyDomainsCrypto support ask me to verify my identity? No. BuyDomainsCrypto never asks for ID, a selfie or documents, for support or anything else. We find your order with the domain name and the order reference, and a payment by its exact amount. The only check ICANN rules require is the registrant email: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). If someone asks for ID in our name, report it to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com. ### My crypto payment is not credited. What should I send to support? Send the order reference, the coin, the network, the exact amount and the time you sent it to support@buydomainscrypto.com. A payment is credited after its network confirmations. That means 2 for Bitcoin, 20 for USDT on Tron, 12 for Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens, 1 for Solana and 6 for Litecoin. We find the payment by its exact amount and reply by email. ### How do I get the transfer code for my domain? The transfer (auth or EPP) code is free, requested from the client area, under My domains. Turn the transfer lock off before you start the transfer at the new registrar. Support never asks you to send the code by email. If the code does not arrive, write to support with the domain name and the reference number of your request. ### Where do I report a phishing or malware domain? Email abuse@buydomainscrypto.com, not the support address. Include the domain, the full URLs, your evidence and timestamps with timezone. We act within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Child sexual abuse material is handled immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. The full process is on our abuse page. ### Is there a phone number or an office address? There is no phone support and no Telegram account. BuyDomainsCrypto is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, and every request is handled by email. Write to support@buydomainscrypto.com about your account, payments and domains, and to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com about abuse or court orders. Replies come only from buydomainscrypto.com addresses. ### Can I ask questions before I create an account? Yes. Email support@buydomainscrypto.com with your question about an extension, a price or a payment network. No account is needed to ask. Prices are also public on the pricing page, and the domain search shows live availability for most extensions. For .io, .co and .me, availability is confirmed at order. **Ready to register a domain?** Search a name, top up in crypto (minimum $25) and pay from your balance. No KYC.

Because you pay the renewal every year after the first. Over 5 years, a .com at Gandi costs $164.52: $11.00 the first year, then 4 renewals at $38.38. At Cloudflare's at-cost price it costs $52.30. The first-year price hides that gap. The same pattern shows on other extensions, as of 8 October 2026: - Namecheap's .co starts at $8.18 and renews at $45.68, against $30.00 at cost. - Gandi renews .io at $74.99, against $50.00 at cost. - Hostinger renews .ai at $110.19 a year, against $80.00 at cost. - Namecheap's .xyz starts at $2.20 and renews at $21.68, against $11.20 at cost. BuyDomainsCrypto sells .com, .net, .co, .xyz and .ai at the same price for the first year and the renewal. ## What does a .com cost over 5 years? One first year plus 4 renewals, at the prices of 8 October 2026. | Registrar | First year | Renewal | 5 years | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BuyDomainsCrypto | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 + 4 × $11.49 | | Cloudflare Registrar (no crypto) | $10.46 | $10.46 | $52.30 | | Dynadot | $10.88 | $10.88 | $54.40 | | Porkbun | $11.08 | $11.08 | $55.40 | | Namecheap | $6.99 (promo code) | $14.98 | $66.91 | | 1984 Hosting | $15.99 | $15.99 | $79.95 | | Njalla | €15 | €15 | €75 (about $84.40) | | NameSilo | $16.29 | $17.29 | $85.45 | | Hostinger | $8.69 | $20.19 | $89.45 | | OrangeWebsite | €18.90 | €18.90 | €94.50 | | Gandi | $11.00 | $38.38 | $164.52 | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* The .com wholesale cost rises by $0.71 on 1 November 2026, so renewals after that date may cost more at every registrar. ## What are the wholesale floors in 2026? The floor is what the registry charges, plus the $0.20 ICANN fee. Cloudflare sells at that cost with no markup, so its prices are the best public estimate. - **.com**: Verisign charges $10.26, so $10.46 with the ICANN fee. On 1 November 2026 it charges $10.97, so $11.17. Verisign raised the .com fee by 7 % each September from 2021 to 2024, with no rise in 2025. - **.net**: Verisign charges $10.91, rising to $12.00 on 1 March 2027, plus $0.20. Cloudflare shows $11.86 today. - **.org**: Public Interest Registry charges $11.00 since 1 June 2026, so $11.20 with the ICANN fee. - **Other extensions at Cloudflare**: .io $32.00 then $50.00, .co $30.00, .xyz $12.30 then $11.20, .ai $80.00, .app $8.20 then $14.20, .dev $8.20 then $12.20. BuyDomainsCrypto prices each extension at the wholesale cost plus a small margin. See the [.com price increase](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/) and the [.net price increase](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/net-price-increase-march-2027/). ## Which first-year prices need a promo code? Two of the lowest first-year prices in this index need a code. Namecheap's $6.99 .com needs NEWCOM679, for new customers only; the renewal is $14.98. Spaceship's $2.90 .com needs COMPROS; the renewal is $10.18, and its crypto payment is not confirmed. Per domainoffer.net, three prices sit below the public wholesale cost. They are the .com renewals of Spaceship ($10.18) and Sav ($10.15), and Epik's .ai at $74.95 a year, under Cloudflare's $80.00. We could not verify why; a temporary subsidy is possible. Do not plan 5 years on a price below cost. ## Where are BuyDomainsCrypto prices in machine-readable form? In [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json): every extension we sell, with the first year, renewal, transfer, WHOIS privacy and restrictions, per year in US dollars. The same grid is on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/), and each extension has its own page under [all extensions](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/). Competitor prices on this page are a dated snapshot. We plan to re-check them after the 1 November 2026 .com increase. ## Crypto domain price index: FAQ ### What is the cheapest .com I can pay for in crypto? Among registrars that confirm crypto, Dynadot listed the lowest regular .com on 8 October 2026: $10.88 for the first year and the renewal. Porkbun followed at $11.08, paid in USDC. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $11.49/year for both, paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC with no KYC. Namecheap's $6.99 needs a promo code and renews at $14.98. ### Why are some first-year domain prices so low? Because of promo codes or registry promotions. Namecheap's $6.99 .com needs the new-customer code NEWCOM679; Spaceship's $2.90 needs COMPROS. On .xyz, several registrars sell the first year for about $2 and renew at $14 to $40. Compare the renewal price, which you pay every year after the first. ### How much does a .io domain cost in crypto? As of 8 October 2026, a .io renewal paid in crypto cost from €45, about $50.64 (Njalla), to $79.99 (1984 Hosting) or €92 (OrangeWebsite). Cloudflare's at-cost renewal is $50.00. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $32.99 for the first year and $50.49 to renew, with no KYC. ### How much does a .ai domain cost in crypto? Most registrars sell .ai for at least 2 years. As of 8 October 2026, per year: Porkbun $82.70, Dynadot $85.60, Namecheap $84.18 then $92.18, Gandi $112.06 then $179.76. Cloudflare's at-cost price is $80.00. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $81.99/year, 2 years minimum. See [why .ai needs 2 years](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/ai-domain-2-year-minimum/). ### Will .com prices go up in November 2026? Yes, at the wholesale level. Verisign's .com fee rises from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026; with the $0.20 ICANN fee, the floor moves from $10.46 to $11.17. Each registrar decides whether to pass it on. BuyDomainsCrypto's .com, $11.49/year, is already above the new floor. ### Are your prices in pricing.json the same as on the site? Yes. [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json), the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/), the extension pages and this index all read the same price list, so they always match. Prices are per year, in US dollars, and you pay them in crypto from a prepaid balance (minimum top-up $25). ### Can I reuse the price index? Yes, it is free to cite with a link. Cite "Crypto Domain Price Index, BuyDomainsCrypto, prices checked 8 October 2026" and link this page. For our own prices, use [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json), which follows our price list.

None of the 3 that list USDT (Dynadot, NameSilo, NiceNIC) names its network. Cloudflare Registrar takes no crypto. **BuyDomainsCrypto**, the publisher of this crypto registrar matrix, accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC with every network named. It has no KYC and sells a .com at $11.49/year. ## The matrix in figures | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Registrars in the matrix (N) | 15 (BuyDomainsCrypto listed separately, not counted) | | Checked | 8 October 2026, on each registrar's own pages and two price aggregators | | Crypto confirmed on own pages | 10 of 15 | | Crypto not confirmed | 3 of 15 (Spaceship, Epik, Unstoppable Domains for .com) | | No crypto / no evidence of crypto | 1 of 15 (Cloudflare Registrar) / 1 of 15 (Sav) | | List USDT by name | 3 of 15; 0 of those 3 name the network | | List USDC by name | 4 of 15 (Porkbun, Dynadot, NameSilo, NiceNIC); none names the network | | Accept Monero (XMR) | 3 of 15 (Njalla, 1984 Hosting, OrangeWebsite) | | Document a photo-ID check | 2 of 15 (Namecheap, Porkbun) | | .com renewal, registrars with confirmed crypto | $10.88 (Dynadot) to $38.38 (Gandi) | | Publisher | BuyDomainsCrypto, a domain registration service and a competitor of the registrars listed | ## Key numbers - **0 of 3** registrars that list USDT say which network (TRC-20, ERC-20 or other) - **10 of 15** confirm crypto payment on their own pages - **3 of 15** accept Monero (XMR) (Njalla, 1984 Hosting, OrangeWebsite) - **$10.88–$38.38** .com renewal among registrars with confirmed crypto (Dynadot to Gandi) ## How was the crypto registrar matrix built? We started from the 15 registrars that show up most in searches about buying domains with crypto: large registrars, privacy hosts and one Web3 seller. For each one, we read its own payment, help, knowledge-base and pricing pages on 8 October 2026. Rules: - **First-party first.** A crypto or ID rule counts as confirmed only if the registrar publishes it. Third-party claims are marked as such. - **Snippets are marked.** Some pages could only be read as search-result snippets. The source column says so. - **"Not documented" means not found**, not "no". A registrar with no published ID rule may still ask for ID. - **Prices** come from the registrar's pricing page for Porkbun, Dynadot, Njalla, 1984 Hosting and OrangeWebsite. The others come from domainoffer.net, updated 8 October 2026, and Cloudflare's from cfdomainpricing.com. First-year prices may include promo codes; we name the code when we know it. - **BuyDomainsCrypto** appears first as the publisher. It is not counted in N or in any total. Each registrar falls in one class: crypto confirmed, crypto not confirmed, no crypto, or no evidence found. ## Crypto registrar matrix 2026: the full table Sorted by class, then by name. As of 8 October 2026, per each registrar's own pages unless the source column says otherwise. .com prices are first year / renewal, per year. | Registrar | Crypto? | Coins | Stablecoin network | Processor | KYC / ID policy | WHOIS privacy | .com 1st year / renewal | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BuyDomainsCrypto (publisher, not counted) | Yes, crypto only | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | USDT: TRC-20 or ERC-20; USDC: ERC-20 | Direct, checked on the blockchain | None: no ID, verified email only | Free where the registry allows it | $11.49 / $11.49 | [Pricing](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) · [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json) | | 1984 Hosting | Yes, except for customers in Iceland | BTC, XMR | — (no stablecoin) | Direct | Not documented | Not documented | $15.99 / $15.99 | 1984 Hosting FAQ and price list | | Dynadot | Yes | BTC; BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, DOGE via BitPay; USDC; USDT | Not stated | Direct BTC, BitPay (Coinbase Commerce on an older page) | Not documented | Free (its extension data) | $10.88 / $10.88 | Dynadot crypto help page (search snippet); pricing page | | Gandi | Yes | BTC, ETH, BCH | — (no stablecoin named) | BitPay | Not documented | Free (not re-checked) | $11.00 / $38.38 | Gandi documentation (search snippet); domainoffer.net | | Hostinger | Yes, on some regional storefronts | Dozens of coins via CoinGate | Not stated | CoinGate | Not documented | Free on eligible extensions (not verified) | $8.69 / $20.19 | Hostinger support (search snippet); CoinGate, 2021; domainoffer.net | | Namecheap | Yes, account top-up only | BTC via BTCPay; BTC and other coins via BitPay | Not stated | BTCPay Server, BitPay | ID + selfie (Veriff) possible in a dispute or abuse case; BitPay ID above $3,000 | Free (not re-checked) | $6.99 (code NEWCOM679) / $14.98 | Namecheap knowledge base (search snippets); domainoffer.net | | NameSilo | Yes, account top-up | BTC; ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC and others via Nicky | Not stated | Direct BTC, Nicky | Not documented | Free (not re-checked) | $16.29 / $17.29 | NameSilo blog, 26 June 2026; domainoffer.net | | NiceNIC | Yes, per its own pages | USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, LTC (one article adds Lightning, PYUSD, Binance Pay) | Not stated | TripleA (per its article) | "WHOIS protection does not remove verification requirements" | Free (home page) | About $11.99 (search snippet, not verified) / not verified | NiceNIC home page and USDT article | | Njalla | Yes | BTC, LTC, XMR, ETH (plus PayPal) | — (no stablecoin) | Direct | No ID; email or XMPP (third-party review) | Built in: Njalla is the registrant | €15 / €15 (about $16.88) | Njalla FAQ and pricing page | | OrangeWebsite | Yes | BTC, LTC, ETH, BCH, XMR and others | — (no stablecoin named) | BitPay, CoinPayments | "We only ask for a valid email address" | Not documented | €18.90 / €18.90 | OrangeWebsite site, crypto page and price list | | Porkbun | Yes | USDC; "several" coins on its /bitcoin page | Not stated | Coinbase Business | Photo ID (Veriff) for a subset of new accounts | Free (not re-checked) | $11.08 / $11.08 | Porkbun payment options; /bitcoin and ID pages (search snippets); pricing page | | Epik | Not confirmed in 2026 | BTC (2016 announcement) | Not stated | BitPay (2016) | Not documented | Not documented | $15.99 / $15.99 | OnlineDomain, 13 October 2016; domainoffer.net | | Spaceship | Not confirmed | BTC per a third party | Not stated | Not stated | Not documented | Free ("Withheld for Privacy", search snippet) | $2.90 (code COMPROS) / $10.18 | SolCard (third party); domainoffer.net | | Unstoppable Domains | Web3 names only (2021); not confirmed for .com | USDC, BTC, ETH (Web3 names) | Not stated | Circle (USDC, 2021) | Not documented | Not documented | $10.67 / $10.67 | Crowdfund Insider, August 2021; domainoffer.net | | Cloudflare Registrar | No | None | — | — | Cloudflare account; ID checks not documented | Free redaction (not re-checked) | $10.46 / $10.46 (at cost) | Cloudflare Registrar FAQ; cfdomainpricing.com | | Sav | No evidence found | None found | — | — | Not documented | Not documented | $10.87 / $10.15 | domainoffer.net; no crypto page found | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* "Not documented" means not found on the pages we checked, not "no". "Not stated" means the registrar lists the coin but not the network. Namecheap and Hostinger prices include the $0.20 ICANN fee. Every source is listed below. Corrections: support@buydomainscrypto.com. ## What are the key findings of the matrix? Counted from the table above (N = 15, BuyDomainsCrypto excluded): 1. **Nobody names the USDT network.** 3 of 15 list USDT by name: Dynadot, NameSilo and NiceNIC. None says TRC-20, ERC-20 or another chain on the pages we read. The 4 that list USDC do not name a network either. 2. **Crypto is common, confirmation is not.** 10 of 15 confirm crypto on their own pages. Spaceship's claim comes from a third party, Epik's from a 2016 announcement, and Unstoppable Domains' from a 2021 Web3 partnership. 3. **The price floor takes no crypto.** Cloudflare Registrar sells at cost ($10.46 for a .com on 8 October 2026) but documents no crypto payment. 4. **Porkbun's own pages disagree.** Its payment-options page lists USDC through Coinbase Business; its /bitcoin page speaks of "several forms of cryptocurrency". 5. **BitPay is the most common processor.** Namecheap, Dynadot, Gandi and OrangeWebsite use it, and Epik announced it in 2016. The others use BTCPay, Coinbase Business, Nicky, CoinGate, CoinPayments, TripleA or direct payment. 6. **Monero stays with privacy hosts.** Njalla, 1984 Hosting and OrangeWebsite accept XMR. None of the other 12 names it on the pages we read. 7. **Two registrars document ID checks.** Porkbun (Veriff, a subset of new accounts) and Namecheap (ID and selfie in a dispute or abuse case). 10 of 15 publish no ID rule we could find. 8. **Renewals spread widely.** Among registrars with confirmed crypto, the .com renewal runs from $10.88 (Dynadot) to $38.38 (Gandi), 3.5 times more. ## Which registrars accept USDT on TRC-20? None of the 15 says so on the pages we read. Dynadot, NameSilo and NiceNIC list USDT without a network, as of 8 October 2026. Hostinger takes dozens of coins through CoinGate; we found no Hostinger page that names a USDT network. BuyDomainsCrypto, the publisher, accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20), credited after 20 confirmations, and on Ethereum (ERC-20), after 12. USDC is accepted on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. Networks not accepted: BNB Chain (BEP-20), Polygon, Arbitrum, Base and other layer-2 networks. See [pay with USDT on TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/). ## Which crypto registrars ask for ID? Two document it. Porkbun asks a subset of new accounts for a photo ID through Veriff, based on geographic and other signals. Namecheap's terms allow a government ID and a selfie in a dispute or abuse case, and BitPay asks for ID above $3,000. OrangeWebsite says it only asks for a valid email address. NiceNIC notes that WHOIS protection does not remove verification requirements. For gTLDs such as .com, ICANN rules require every registrar to verify the registrant email. BuyDomainsCrypto does that and nothing more: no ID, no selfie, no KYC. Details: [no-KYC domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/). ## Which registrars accept Monero? Njalla, 1984 Hosting and OrangeWebsite, as of 8 October 2026. 1984 Hosting does not offer crypto to customers located in Iceland. Njalla registers each domain in its own name, so the customer gets a right of use rather than the registration. BuyDomainsCrypto does not accept Monero; see the [Njalla alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/njalla/) for the trade-offs. ## Does Epik still accept Bitcoin? Not confirmed. Epik announced Bitcoin payments through BitPay on 13 October 2016, and directories still repeat it. On 8 October 2026 we found no current Epik page that confirms crypto payment. Until Epik publishes one, treat the 2016 announcement as outdated. Our dated page: [Does Epik accept crypto?](https://buydomainscrypto.com/does/epik-accept-crypto/) ## How do I cite this matrix? Free to cite with a link. Cite it as "Crypto Registrar Matrix 2026, BuyDomainsCrypto, checked 8 October 2026", with the address https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/. For a single row, also link the registrar's own page, because payment pages change. Our own prices are machine-readable in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). To report an error, write to support@buydomainscrypto.com with the page that shows it. ## What does this matrix not tell you? Four limits apply: - **Rules change.** Payment pages and ID rules can change at any time. Check the registrar's page before you pay. - **"Not documented" is not "no".** Ten registrars publish no ID rule we could find. They may still ask for one. - **Some rows rest on snippets.** Where we could only read a search-result snippet, the source column says so. - **We are not neutral.** BuyDomainsCrypto sells competing domain registrations. We counted only published statements and list every source, so each row can be checked. The .com wholesale cost rises on 1 November 2026, so we plan to re-check every price after that date. ## Crypto registrar matrix 2026: FAQ ### How many domain registrars accept crypto in 2026? In this matrix, 10 of 15 registrars confirm crypto payment on their own pages. They are 1984 Hosting, Dynadot, Gandi, Hostinger, Namecheap, NameSilo, NiceNIC, Njalla, OrangeWebsite and Porkbun. Three are not confirmed (Spaceship, Epik, Unstoppable Domains for .com), Cloudflare Registrar takes no crypto, and we found no evidence for Sav. Checked on 8 October 2026. ### Does any registrar say which USDT network it accepts? Not among the 15 in this matrix. Dynadot, NameSilo and NiceNIC list USDT, but none names TRC-20, ERC-20 or another chain on the pages we read on 8 October 2026. BuyDomainsCrypto, which publishes the matrix, accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on ERC-20. ### Which payment processors do domain registrars use for crypto? BitPay is the most common: Namecheap, Dynadot, Gandi and OrangeWebsite use it. Namecheap also uses BTCPay Server, Porkbun Coinbase Business, NameSilo Nicky, Hostinger CoinGate, OrangeWebsite CoinPayments and NiceNIC TripleA. Njalla and 1984 Hosting take coins directly. BuyDomainsCrypto checks each payment on the blockchain itself. ### Does paying in crypto mean no KYC? Not always. Porkbun accepts USDC but asks a subset of new accounts for a photo ID through Veriff. Namecheap accepts Bitcoin but its terms allow an ID and selfie check in a dispute. BuyDomainsCrypto has no KYC: no ID, no selfie, only a verified email, kept private, as ICANN rules require for gTLDs. ### Why is BuyDomainsCrypto not counted in the totals? Because we publish the matrix and sell competing domain registrations. Our row shows our own policy for comparison: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, every network named, no KYC, and a .com at $11.49/year. Counting ourselves would mix our claims with the registrars' own statements, so every total uses the other 15 rows only. ### Can I reuse the crypto registrar matrix? Yes, it is free to cite with a link. Cite "Crypto Registrar Matrix 2026, BuyDomainsCrypto", this page's address and the check date, 8 October 2026. For a single registrar, also link its own page, because rules change. Report errors to support@buydomainscrypto.com with the page that shows them. ### How often is the matrix updated? The current rows were checked on 8 October 2026. The .com wholesale cost rises on 1 November 2026, and we plan to re-check every price after that date. Our own row reads our live price list, so its prices are always current. The update date at the top of the page changes with each re-check. ## Sources (all checked 8 October 2026 unless dated otherwise) 1. [FAQ](https://1984.hosting/faq/) — 1984 Hosting 2.

Full comparison: [crypto domain price index](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-domain-price-index/). ### Is there a Cloudflare Registrar alternative that accepts crypto? Yes. As of 8 October 2026, Cloudflare Registrar documented no crypto payment. It sells at cost: $10.46 for a .com today. BuyDomainsCrypto sells close to that floor, $11.49/year, and accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC with no KYC. You can also move a domain from Cloudflare with its auth code. See [Cloudflare Registrar alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/cloudflare-registrar/). ### Is there a Namecheap alternative that accepts USDT? Yes. As of 8 October 2026, Namecheap accepted Bitcoin as an account top-up through BTCPay or BitPay, and named no USDT network. Its .com was $6.99 the first year with a new-customer promo code and $14.98 to renew. BuyDomainsCrypto takes USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20 and sells .com at $11.49/year, same price to renew. See [Namecheap alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/namecheap/). ### Porkbun, Namecheap or Dynadot: which is best for paying with crypto? Each takes different coins. As of 8 October 2026, per their own pages, Porkbun listed USDC through Coinbase Business. Namecheap took Bitcoin as a top-up. Dynadot listed BTC, BitPay coins, USDC and USDT, without naming the USDT network. Their identity rules differ too. Every detail, dated and sourced: [crypto registrar matrix 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/). ### Which registrar is best for a Web3 or crypto startup? One that sells the tech extensions and takes the coins your project holds. BuyDomainsCrypto sells .io at $32.99 the first year, .xyz at $11.49 and .ai at $81.99/year (2-year minimum). .app and .dev start at $8.49 and $8.49. All are paid in crypto with no KYC. See [domains for Web3 startups](https://buydomainscrypto.com/web3-startup-domains/). ## Paying with crypto ### How do I buy a domain with Bitcoin? Search the name, add it to the cart, then top up your balance in BTC (minimum $25). Send the exact amount shown to the Bitcoin address on the payment page, on-chain. The top-up is credited after 2 confirmations, usually about 20 minutes, and the domain is then registered from your balance. See [pay with Bitcoin](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/bitcoin/). ### Which registrar lets me pay for a .com with USDT? BuyDomainsCrypto accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20) for a .com at $11.49/year, with no KYC. USDT is a dollar stablecoin, so you send the dollar amount, to the last decimal. As of 8 October 2026, Dynadot, NameSilo and NiceNIC also listed USDT, but none of them named the network on its pages. ### Is there a domain registrar that accepts USDT TRC-20? Yes: BuyDomainsCrypto accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) and says so. The top-up is credited after 20 confirmations, usually about a minute. In our check of 15 registrars on 8 October 2026, none of those that list USDT named the network. Pick Tron (TRC-20) both on the payment page and in your wallet. See [pay with USDT TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/). ### Can I buy a domain with USDC? Yes, USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), credited after 12 confirmations. USDC on Solana, Base, Polygon or any other network is not accepted. Send the dollar amount shown, to the last decimal, and keep a little ETH in the wallet for gas. A .com costs $11.49/year. See [pay with USDC](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdc/). ### Can I buy a domain with Ethereum (ETH)? Yes, ETH on the Ethereum mainnet. The payment page converts the dollar price into ETH and locks the rate for 30 minutes. The top-up is credited after 12 confirmations, usually about 5 minutes. ETH sent on Arbitrum, Optimism, Base or another layer-2 is not accepted. See [pay with Ethereum](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/ethereum/). ### Which domain registrar accepts Solana (SOL)? BuyDomainsCrypto accepts native SOL on the Solana network, credited after 1 confirmation, usually about a minute. In our check of 15 registrars on 8 October 2026, we found none that names SOL on its own payment pages. SPL tokens, including USDC on Solana, are not accepted. See [pay with Solana](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/solana/). ### Can I buy a domain with Litecoin? Yes, LTC on the Litecoin network, credited after 6 confirmations. Litecoin blocks come about every 2.5 minutes, so this usually takes about a quarter of an hour. Fees are low, which makes LTC a good alternative to Bitcoin for a small top-up. See [pay with Litecoin](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/litecoin/). ### Do you accept Bitcoin Lightning? No. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts on-chain Bitcoin only, credited after 2 confirmations. A Lightning invoice cannot be paid on the payment page. For a fast payment with a low fee, use USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or SOL, both usually credited in about a minute. Monero, BNB Chain, Polygon and layer-2 networks are not accepted either. ### USDT TRC-20 or ERC-20: which has lower fees? For a small amount, TRC-20 usually costs less. A TRC-20 transfer uses Tron energy and bandwidth, paid in TRX, so keep some TRX in a self-custody wallet. An ERC-20 transfer pays Ethereum gas in ETH, which changes with network load. The domain price is the same on both. Compare every network on [pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/). ### Can I pay from Binance or another exchange? Yes, with an on-chain withdrawal to the address on the payment page, on the exact network. Any wallet or exchange that supports that network works. Choose Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20) for USDT, never BNB Chain (BEP-20). Binance Pay and other internal exchange transfers are not accepted. Check that the exchange does not deduct its fee from the amount. ## No card, no KYC ### How do I buy a domain without a credit card? Pay in crypto. At BuyDomainsCrypto, you top up a balance in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC (minimum $25), then register, renew or transfer domains from it. No card, no PayPal, no bank transfer and no ID are needed. A .com costs $11.49/year. Step by step: [buy a domain without a credit card](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/buy-domain-without-credit-card/). ### My card was declined when buying a domain. Can I pay with crypto? Yes. A crypto payment does not go through the card network, so a declined card does not matter. Buy USDT or another accepted coin on an exchange you can use, withdraw it on a supported network, and top up from $25. There is no card check and no KYC. The domain is registered once the payment confirms. ### Does BuyDomainsCrypto require ID verification? No. BuyDomainsCrypto never asks for a passport, an ID card, a selfie, a phone check or documents, at any amount. One check remains: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). The email stays out of public WHOIS where the registry allows privacy. Read [buy a domain without KYC](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/). ### Which domain registrars require ID verification? As of 8 October 2026, Porkbun asked a subset of new accounts for a photo ID through Veriff, per its knowledge base. Namecheap's terms allowed an ID and selfie check in disputes or abuse cases. Some registries check identity themselves: .dk, .cn, .ru and .in. BuyDomainsCrypto does not sell those four extensions and never asks for ID. ### Do I need an email address to buy a domain? Yes. Every registrar that follows ICANN rules must verify the registrant email, so a domain with no working email is not possible on a gTLD. At BuyDomainsCrypto, we collect one email per domain, nothing else. It is verified within 15 days of registration and kept out of public lookups where the registry allows privacy. ## Prices and extensions ### How much does a .com cost in 2026 after the Verisign increase? Verisign raises the .com wholesale fee from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026. With the ICANN fee of $0.20, every registrar pays at least $11.17 from that date. BuyDomainsCrypto sells .com at $11.49/year, the same to renew, already above the new floor. Background: [.com price increase, November 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/). ### Can I register a .io domain with crypto, and what does it cost? Yes. A .io costs $32.99 the first year and $50.49 to renew at BuyDomainsCrypto, paid in crypto with no KYC. The public floor is $32.00 and $50.00, per Cloudflare's at-cost prices. As of 8 October 2026, per their pricing pages, Porkbun listed .io at $28.12 then $51.80, and Dynadot at $28.89 then $53.50. See [.io domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/io/). ### Is .io safe to buy in 2026? .io works normally in 2026. Its long-term status is tied to the Chagos Islands: the UK–Mauritius treaty on their sovereignty was frozen in 2026, per DomainIncite. Nothing has changed for .io holders so far. Read [is .io safe in 2026?](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/is-io-safe-2026/) before you build a brand on it. ### Where can I register a .ai domain with crypto? At BuyDomainsCrypto, a .ai costs $81.99/year, sold for 2 years minimum, paid in crypto with no KYC. As of 8 October 2026, per their pricing pages, Porkbun (USDC) listed .ai at $82.70 a year and Dynadot at $85.60. Cloudflare's at-cost price was $80.00, with no crypto payment. See [.ai domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/ai/). ### Why does a .ai domain require a 2-year minimum? Because the .ai registry, run for the Government of Anguilla, sets a minimum term of 2 years for registrations and renewals. Every registrar must follow it. At BuyDomainsCrypto, the price is $81.99/year, so a new .ai is paid for 2 years at once. Background: [why .ai has a 2-year minimum](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/ai-domain-2-year-minimum/). ### Can I buy a .xyz, .app, .dev or .co domain with crypto? Yes, all four. Prices: .xyz $11.49 with the same renewal, .app $8.49 then $14.49, .dev $8.49 then $12.49, .co $30.69 with the same renewal. .app and .dev only work over HTTPS in browsers. .co can be registered for 5 years at most. All are paid in crypto, with no KYC. ### What is the cheapest domain renewal I can pay in crypto? Compare the renewal column, not the first year. At BuyDomainsCrypto, a .com renews at $11.49, the same as the first year. So do .xyz and .link, at $11.49 and $11.49. The [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) lists the renewal price of all 55 extensions. ## Transfers, renewals and bulk orders ### Can I transfer my domain to a registrar that accepts crypto? Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its auth (EPP) code and start the transfer in the BuyDomainsCrypto client area. A .com transfer costs $11.49, paid in crypto, and adds one year to the expiry date. A gTLD usually cannot move within 60 days of its registration or last transfer. Guide: [transfer a domain and pay in crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). ### Can I auto-renew domains from a crypto balance? Yes. BuyDomainsCrypto offers automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. Keep enough balance to cover the renewal before the expiry date: a .com renews at $11.49. There is no card on file, so nothing is charged that you did not top up yourself. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. ### Where can I bulk-register domains and pay with USDT? At BuyDomainsCrypto, add every name to the cart and pay the total from one balance, topped up in USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20). One top-up covers registrations, renewals and transfers. Each domain then has its own auto-renew switch. Tips for domain investors: [bulk domain registration with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/bulk-domain-registration-crypto/). ### Do you offer a reseller API that accepts crypto deposits? No. BuyDomainsCrypto does not offer a reseller program or a domain API at the moment. Everything happens in the client area: search, cart, top-up, DNS, renewals and transfers. For many domains, the cart and one prepaid balance cover most needs. Write to support@buydomainscrypto.com if an API matters to you. ### Can I get email hosting with my domain? No. BuyDomainsCrypto sells domain names, with free DNS, but no email or web hosting. Use MX and TXT records to connect the email provider of your choice. The DNS panel supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records, or your own nameservers (2 to 13). ## Safety, privacy and refunds ### Is it safe to buy domains with crypto? Yes, if you send the right coin on the right network. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules, whatever the payment method. You can move it to another registrar with its transfer code, which is free, requested from the client area. Crypto payments cannot be reversed, so check the network and the exact amount before you send. ### Can I get a refund? Top-ups are not paid back in crypto. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. One case protects you: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. Top up only what you plan to spend on domains, renewals and transfers. The rules are in our [refunds and balance policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/). ### Do you offer free WHOIS privacy? Yes, free on every extension we sell. Extensions whose registry forbids privacy or publishes holder data, such as .us and .es, are not sold. Your registrant data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer. Details: [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). ### Who operates BuyDomainsCrypto? BuyDomainsCrypto is a domain registration service operated by DomaineGoat LLC. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules. Support: Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with DNS, transfers and renewals, at support@buydomainscrypto.com. Abuse reports go to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com. Support is by email only: there is no phone line and no Telegram. More on the [about page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/about/). ### What happens if a domain is used for phishing or malware? It is suspended. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are strict exceptions: BuyDomainsCrypto acts within 24 hours of a well-documented report on a well-documented report, without waiting for a court. Child sexual abuse material leads to suspension immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. Report abuse to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com or on the [abuse page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/), with the domain name, the URLs and the evidence. ### Will BuyDomainsCrypto suspend my domain because of a complaint? Not on a complaint alone. A complaint about copyright, defamation, politics, or one sent by a competitor, needs a decision from a Panamanian court; foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. The strict exceptions are phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, and fraud that takes money from victims (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand). Trademark disputes follow the UDRP. Details on the [abuse page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). ### Who can get my registrant data from BuyDomainsCrypto? Only a court, through a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, child exploitation). We do not hand registrant data to a foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government without Panamanian legal process. In a UDRP case, the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider, as ICANN requires. Registries keep their own record under their own rules. Details: [privacy policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/privacy/). ### Can my domain be registered in your name instead of mine? Yes, with the premium option Registered in our name, at +$90 a year per domain on top of the extension price. DomaineGoat LLC becomes the registrant of record, so the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. You stay the beneficial owner and can take the domain back in your name any time, free. [How it works](https://buydomainscrypto.com/registered-in-our-name/). ### Does Registered in our name change your abuse or data policy? No. It gives you anonymity towards the registry, not immunity. The policy is the same for every domain: no takedown on a complaint alone, data only on a Panamanian court order except urgent ICANN requests, and suspension for phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud against victims. A UDRP complaint is made against DomaineGoat LLC; we tell you so you can defend. ## Sources for competitor facts 1.

Prices for all 55 extensions are on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). ## Which domain prices change soon? Two wholesale rises are announced by Verisign, the registry of .com and .net: - **.com, 1 November 2026:** $10.26 → $10.97 a year. With the $0.20 ICANN fee, the cost floor goes from $10.46 to $11.17. - **.net, 1 March 2027:** $10.91 → $12.00 a year, or $12.20 with the ICANN fee. Our .com costs $11.49/year, already above the new floor, with the same price to renew. Our .net costs $12.19/year today and will be revised before 1 March 2027. The two reports explain the dates, the sources and how to lock a price by renewing early. ## Guides: FAQ ### Which guide should I read first? Start with [how to buy a domain without a credit card](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/buy-domain-without-credit-card/) if you have never paid a registrar in crypto. It covers getting the coins, choosing the network and each step of the order. If you already own domains elsewhere, read the [transfer guide](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/) next. Investors with many names should read the [bulk guide](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/bulk-domain-registration-crypto/). ### Are the prices in these guides up to date? Our own prices are read from the live price grid each time the site is built, so the .com price shown is always current: $11.49/year today. Competitor prices are a dated snapshot. They were checked on 8 October 2026 on each registrar's pricing page or on a named price aggregator, and they may have changed since. ### Do I need an ID or KYC to follow these guides? No. BuyDomainsCrypto asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents. Only a working email is needed: it is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require, and kept private where the registry allows it. Extensions with eligibility or ID rules, such as .us, .ca or .eu, are not sold: their pages explain why. ### Which cryptocurrencies can I pay with? Six coins: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). USDT is accepted on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. Monero, Bitcoin Lightning, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon and layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum or Base are not accepted. Cards, PayPal and bank transfers are not accepted either. ### Will the .com price increase change what I pay here? Verisign raises the .com wholesale price from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026, so the floor with the ICANN fee becomes $11.17. Our .com already costs $11.49/year, above that floor, with the same price to renew. The [.com price report](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/) explains the rise and what it means at other registrars. ### Where do I get help if a guide does not answer my question? Write to support@buydomainscrypto.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with DNS, transfers and renewals. We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. The [FAQ](https://buydomainscrypto.com/faq/) also answers the common questions on payment, WHOIS privacy, renewals and transfers, and each extension has its own page under [all extensions](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/). **Search your domain** A .com costs $11.49/year, the same to renew. Pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; minimum top-up $25. No KYC — no ID, only a verified email, kept private.

What that means for the first payment, for renewals and for transfers. **Quick answer — Why does .ai require a 2-year minimum?** A .ai domain needs a 2-year minimum because the registry of Anguilla's country code sets it, for new registrations and for renewals, and registrars must apply it. At **BuyDomainsCrypto**, .ai costs $81.99/year, so the first payment covers two years: 2 × $81.99. You pay in crypto, with no KYC; WHOIS privacy is free. ## .ai at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Type | Country-code TLD (ccTLD) of Anguilla | | Registry | Government of Anguilla, operated by Identity Digital | | Minimum term | 2 years, for registration and for renewal | | Maximum term | 10 years | | Price at BuyDomainsCrypto | $81.99/year; first payment for 2 years: 2 × $81.99 | | Renewal | $81.99/year, at least 2 years per renewal | | Who can register | Anyone: no residency rule | | WHOIS privacy at BuyDomainsCrypto | Free | | Payment | Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | ## Why is .ai sold two years at a time? Because the .ai registry requires it. A registry sets the rules of its extension, and the .ai registry sets a minimum term of 2 years for new names and for renewals. Registrars cannot sell a shorter term. That is why most .ai prices are shown per year but charged for two years. Compare the yearly price, not the first invoice. .ai is the country-code TLD of Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. It is open to anyone worldwide, and it is popular with AI companies, models, tools and agents. ## How much does a .ai domain cost for two years? Two years at the yearly price. At BuyDomainsCrypto: - **First payment:** 2 × $81.99, for 2 years. - **Each renewal:** at least 2 years, at $81.99 a year. - **Five years at once:** first year $81.99 + 4 years at $81.99. Top up enough balance for at least two years before you order, or the order waits for the top-up. WHOIS privacy is free. All prices are on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) and on the [.ai extension page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/ai/). ## .ai price per year at registrars that accept crypto As of 8 October 2026, per each registrar's pricing page or the named aggregator. Prices are per year; most registrars bill two years at a time. | Registrar | First term, per year | Renewal, per year | Transfer | Crypto accepted | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BuyDomainsCrypto | $81.99 | $81.99 | $81.99 a year | BTC, USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20), USDC (ERC-20), ETH, SOL, LTC | | Porkbun | $82.70 | $82.70 | $165.09 (2 years) | USDC via Coinbase Business | | Dynadot | $85.60 | $85.60 | $171.20 (2 years) | BTC, USDC, USDT, coins via BitPay | | Namecheap | $84.18 | $92.18 | — | BTC, as an account top-up | | Njalla | about $84.39 (€75) | about $84.39 (€75) | — | BTC, LTC, XMR, ETH | | NameSilo | $98.99 | $99.99 | — | BTC; ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC via Nicky | | Gandi | $112.06 | $179.76 | — | BTC, ETH, BCH via BitPay | | Cloudflare Registrar (at cost) | $80.00 | $80.00 | — | No crypto documented | | Spaceship | $79.98 | $79.98 | — | Not confirmed | | Epik | $74.95 | $74.95 | — | Not confirmed in 2026 | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* Porkbun and Dynadot per their pricing pages, Cloudflare per cfdomainpricing.com, the others per domainoffer.net (prices updated 8 October 2026; Namecheap includes the $0.20 ICANN fee). Njalla converted from euros at domainoffer's rate. "Not confirmed": we found no primary page confirming crypto payments. ## Does a .ai transfer also cost two years? At most registrars, yes.

If the name is your product's main address, usually yes. For a test project, a cheaper extension may be enough. - **.ai** suits AI products, models and agents: the extension itself says what you do. - **.io** costs $32.99/year the first year, with a 1-year minimum; see [is .io safe in 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/is-io-safe-2026/). - **.com** costs $11.49/year, the same to renew. - **.app** and **.dev** start at $8.49/year and $8.49/year, with HTTPS required.

The cart shows the total for the years chosen. 3. **Top up in crypto** — Top up at least the cart total, in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. The exchange rate is locked for 30 minutes. 4. **Use your .ai** — The domain is registered usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. Then set its DNS records or your own nameservers in My domains. ## Search a .ai name Search a domain name: https://buydomainscrypto.com/app/domains/?q=yourname.ai Popular extensions: .ai ($81.99), .io ($32.99), .com ($11.49) ## .ai 2-year minimum: FAQ ### Can I register a .ai domain for one year? No. The .ai registry sets a minimum term of 2 years, and registrars cannot sell less. At BuyDomainsCrypto the price is $81.99/year, so the first payment is 2 × $81.99. You can choose more years, up to 10, in one order. ### Does a .ai renewal also need two years? Yes. The 2-year minimum applies to renewals as well as to new registrations. At BuyDomainsCrypto a .ai renews at $81.99/year, at least two years at a time. With auto-renew on, keep enough balance for two years before the expiry date. ### How much is a .ai domain at BuyDomainsCrypto? $81.99/year for the first term, $81.99/year to renew and $81.99/year to transfer, always with the 2-year registry minimum. WHOIS privacy: Free. You pay in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) from a balance topped up from $25, with no KYC. ### Is .ai cheaper at other registrars? Among the registrars in our 8 October 2026 check that confirm crypto payments, Porkbun listed the lowest yearly .ai price, $82.70. Cloudflare sells at cost ($80.00) but documents no crypto payment. Epik ($74.95) and Spaceship ($79.98) listed lower prices, but we found no primary page confirming that they accept crypto. ### Who runs the .ai registry? The Government of Anguilla is the registry of .ai, per the IANA root zone database, and Identity Digital operates it. Anyone can register a .ai name: there is no residency rule. .ai supports DNSSEC, and the registry allows WHOIS privacy services. ### Can I pay for a .ai domain with USDT? Yes. Top up your balance with USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), or with BTC, USDC, ETH, SOL or LTC, then register the .ai from it. Top up enough for two years. No ID is asked: only a working email, verified after registration as ICANN rules require. ### Is WHOIS privacy available on .ai? Yes. The .ai registry allows privacy services, although not every registrar offers one. At BuyDomainsCrypto, WHOIS privacy on .ai is free: your email stays out of the public record, and it is the only data we collect. Registrant data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer. ## Sources 1.

USDT TRC-20, no KYC. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/bulk-domain-registration-crypto/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) For investors and teams who hold many names: how to register, renew and budget a portfolio from one crypto balance, and where the limits are. **Quick answer — Where can I bulk-register domains and pay with USDT?** **BuyDomainsCrypto** lets domain investors register many names from one crypto balance, with no KYC. Top up once in USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or another accepted coin, put the names in one cart and pay from the balance. A .com costs $11.49/year and renews at $11.49/year. Auto-renew is set per domain. There is no bulk API. ## Bulk registration: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | One balance | Pays registrations, renewals and transfers; minimum top-up $25 | | Cart | Several names, one payment | | Years per name | 1 to 10, within each extension's limits | | Auto-renew | automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain | | .com renewal | $11.49/year, the same as the first year | | Large top-ups | USDT on Tron (TRC-20): usually low network fees, 20 confirmations | | Bulk API | None: orders go through the client area | | Unused balance | Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable | | KYC | None — only a verified email, kept private | ## Why does the renewal price matter more than the first year? Because a portfolio pays renewals every year, while the first-year price is paid once. A cheap first year followed by a high renewal costs more after two or three years. On 8 October 2026, the .com renewal at registrars that accept crypto ranged from $10.88 at Dynadot to $38.38 at Gandi, per the table below. Our .com renews at $11.49/year, the same as the first year; .net at $12.19/year and .xyz at $11.49/year. The yearly cost of a portfolio is easy to estimate: number of names × renewal price. For example, 100 .com names cost 100 × $11.49 a year to keep. ## .com first year and renewal at registrars that accept crypto As of 8 October 2026, per each registrar's pricing page or the named aggregator. Look at the renewal column first. | Registrar | .com first year | .com renewal | Crypto accepted | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BuyDomainsCrypto | $11.49 | $11.49 | BTC, USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20), USDC (ERC-20), ETH, SOL, LTC | | Dynadot | $10.88 | $10.88 | BTC, USDC, USDT, coins via BitPay (USDT network not stated) | | Porkbun | $11.08 | $11.08 | USDC via Coinbase Business | | Namecheap | $6.99 (new-customer promo code) | $14.98 | BTC, as an account top-up | | Njalla | about $16.88 (€15) | about $16.88 (€15) | BTC, LTC, XMR, ETH (Njalla is the registrant) | | NameSilo | $16.29 | $17.29 | BTC; ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC via Nicky | | Hostinger | $8.69 | $20.19 | Coins via CoinGate, depending on the storefront | | Gandi | $11.00 | $38.38 | BTC, ETH, BCH via BitPay | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* Porkbun and Dynadot per their pricing pages; the others per domainoffer.net (prices updated 8 October 2026), which adds the $0.20 ICANN fee for Namecheap and Hostinger and may include promo codes in first-year prices. Njalla converted from euros at domainoffer's rate. ## How do I register many domains at once? Put every name in one cart and pay once from your balance: 1. **Check each name** in the [domain search](https://buydomainscrypto.com/app/domains/?lang=en) and add it to the cart. Some extensions (.io, .co, .me) are only confirmed at order. 2. **Choose the years** per name, from 1 to 10 within the extension's limits: .ai needs at least 2, .co allows at most 5. 3. **Top up once** for the whole cart. One payment means one set of confirmations, not one per name. 4. **Follow the order status:** Awaiting payment → Verifying → Processing → Active. If you started from a domain search, the names in the cart are registered automatically once the top-up is credited. Names that fail are not charged: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. ## How do I keep a portfolio renewed? Turn on auto-renew for the names you keep, and keep enough balance for the renewals that fall due. Auto-renew means automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. - **Switch it off** for names you plan to drop, so the balance is not spent on them. - **Check the expiry dates** in My domains and top up before a busy renewal month. - **Register several years** for names you are sure to keep, up to 10: the first year plus each extra year at the renewal price. A renewal that cannot be paid leaves the domain to expire. A short grace period usually follows, but do not count on it for valuable names. ## Which coin is best for a large top-up? USDT on Tron (TRC-20), for most investors. It holds the dollar value, its network fees are usually low, and most exchanges offer it for withdrawals. - **USDT TRC-20:** 20 confirmations. Keep some TRX for fees if you send from your own wallet. - **USDC or USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20):** 12 confirmations. The gas fee does not grow with the amount sent. - **BTC:** 2 confirmations. The fee depends on network load, not on the amount. The exchange rate is locked for 30 minutes. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. Top up what you plan to spend in the coming months, not more. See [USDT TRC-20 payments](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/). ## Renewal prices of common portfolio extensions Prices per year in US dollars. The renewal column is what a portfolio pays every year. | Extension | 1st year | Renewal | Transfer | WHOIS privacy | Restrictions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .org | $8.79 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .xyz | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .link | $10.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .net | $12.19 | $12.19 | $12.19 | Free | None | | .me | $17.49 | $17.49 | $17.49 | Free | None | | .info | $19.99 | $19.99 | $19.99 | Free | None | | .biz | $18.49 | $19.99 | $19.99 | Free | None | | .pro | $18.99 | $19.99 | $19.99 | Free | None | | .co | $30.69 | $30.69 | $30.69 | Free | None | | .io | $32.99 | $50.49 | $50.49 | Free | None | *11 extensions · prices per year in USD* ## What are the limits of bulk registration? Three limits apply, and we state them up front: - **No bulk API.** There is no reseller or registration API: orders go through the client area, cart by cart. - **Abuse checks.** Bulk registrations of look-alike names or other people's brands for phishing are refused, and such names are suspended if they go live. See the [acceptable use policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/). - **Reviews of large batches.** The registrar or our team may review a large or unusual batch before it is registered, which can take longer. Phishing studies, such as Interisle's Phishing Landscape 2025, link many phishing domains to bulk registrations. Keeping bulk orders clean protects the email delivery and reputation of every customer's domains. ## Do I need an ID to hold many domains? No. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private, even for a large portfolio. The registrant email is verified as ICANN rules require. Keep it working: a domain whose email check fails can be suspended. WHOIS privacy is free where the registry allows it; see [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). Disputes follow the UDRP: a disputed domain is locked within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider, and panel decisions are applied. To bring names you already own, use the [transfer guide](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). ## Bulk domain registration: FAQ ### Can I register many domains in one payment? Yes. Add every name to the cart, choose the years for each, and pay the whole cart with one top-up in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. If you started from a domain search, the names are registered automatically once the top-up is credited. Names that fail are not charged: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. ### Is there an API for bulk registration? No. BuyDomainsCrypto has no reseller or bulk registration API. Orders are placed in the client area, cart by cart, and changes to domains are applied by our team with a reference number. If you need to automate hundreds of registrations a day, a registrar with a reseller API will suit you better. ### Which coin should I use for a large top-up? USDT on Tron (TRC-20) suits most investors: it keeps the dollar value and its network fees are usually low. USDT or USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) works too; the gas fee does not grow with the amount. Top up only what you plan to spend. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. ### How do I avoid paying renewals on names I want to drop? Switch off auto-renew on those names in My domains. Auto-renew means automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain, so you choose name by name. Check the expiry dates before each busy month, and keep auto-renew on for the names you keep, with enough balance to pay them. ### Can I move my portfolio from another registrar? Yes, domain by domain. Each transfer needs the domain unlocked and its auth (EPP) code, and gTLD transfers add one year: a .com transfer costs $11.49. Names registered or transferred in the last 60 days must wait. The [transfer guide](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/) covers each step. ### Will you refuse some bulk orders? Yes. Bulk registrations of look-alike names, typos of other people's brands or names meant for phishing are refused, and such domains are suspended if they go live. Large or unusual batches may be reviewed by the registrar or our team before registration. The rules are in the [acceptable use policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/). ### Can I register a domain for 10 years? Yes, within the extension's limits: 1 to 10 years for most, at least 2 for .ai, at most 5 for .co. A multi-year registration costs the first year plus each extra year at the renewal price. For a 5-year .com: first year $11.49 + 4 renewals at $11.49. ## Sources 1. [Domain pricing](https://porkbun.com/products/domains) — Porkbun (2026-10-08) 2.

Pay for the domain in crypto. This guide covers where to get the coins, which network to choose and each step of the order. **Quick answer — How do I buy a domain without a credit card?** To buy a domain without a credit card, pay in crypto. **BuyDomainsCrypto** takes only crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) and asks for no KYC: no ID, only a verified email, kept private. Top up a balance from $25, then register any of 55 extensions; a .com costs $11.49/year, the same price to renew.

Usually because your bank blocks the payment, not because the registrar refuses you. Most registrars are foreign merchants for their customers, and banks treat such payments with extra caution. Common reasons: - **International payments switched off.** Some banks block online or foreign card payments by default. - **Foreign-currency limits.** Domain prices are usually in US dollars, and some banks cap or refuse spending in a foreign currency. - **Fraud filters.** A first payment to a new foreign merchant can trigger an automatic block. - **Local-only cards.** Some debit and prepaid cards only work with merchants in the same country. Cards issued in countries such as Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Turkey or Argentina are often declined by foreign merchants for these reasons. A crypto payment does not go through a card network, so none of these blocks apply. ## What can I pay with instead of a credit card? At BuyDomainsCrypto, crypto is the only way to pay: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). You top up a balance once, then pay registrations, renewals and transfers from it. Not accepted: cards, PayPal, bank transfers, Monero, Bitcoin Lightning, BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Polygon, and layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum or Base. Each accepted coin has its own page with its network, confirmations and fee notes: see [pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/). Other registrars also take crypto, with different coins, payment processors and ID rules. Our [comparison of registrars that accept crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/best/domain-registrars-that-accept-crypto/) lists them, checked on 8 October 2026. ## How do I get crypto if I have never bought any? Buy it on an exchange or from another person on a P2P market, then withdraw it to the payment address on the exact network. - **Exchange.** Open an account on a crypto exchange that serves your country, deposit local money and buy USDT, USDC or another accepted coin. Exchanges usually ask for ID: that check is between you and the exchange, not us. - **P2P market.** Many exchanges run P2P markets where you buy USDT from another user and pay by local bank transfer or mobile money. Use the platform's escrow and check the seller's record. - **Withdraw on the right network.** When you withdraw, choose the network shown on our payment page. For USDT, pick Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20) to match it. For most buyers, **USDT on Tron (TRC-20)** is the simple choice: it keeps the dollar value and its network fees are usually low. The exchange shows its withdrawal fee before you confirm. Details on the [USDT TRC-20 page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/). ## Which coin and network should I use? Pick the coin you already hold, or USDT TRC-20 if you are buying crypto just for this. | Coin | Network | Confirmations | Choose it when | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [USDT](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | You hold dollars on an exchange; network fees are usually low | | [USDT](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-erc20/) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | Your USDT is on Ethereum; the fee follows Ethereum gas prices | | [USDC](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdc/) | Ethereum (ERC-20) only | 12 | You hold USDC on Ethereum mainnet | | [Bitcoin](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/bitcoin/) | Bitcoin, on-chain (no Lightning) | 2 | You hold BTC; the fee depends on network load | | [Ether](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/ethereum/) | Ethereum mainnet | 12 | You hold ETH on mainnet, not on a layer 2 | | [Solana](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/solana/) | Solana | 1 | You hold SOL | | [Litecoin](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/litecoin/) | Litecoin | 6 | You hold LTC | Send only on the network shown on the payment page. A payment sent on another network does not reach your top-up and may not be recoverable. ## How to buy a domain with crypto, step by step 1. **Search the name** — Type the name in the domain search. Most extensions show live availability; a few, such as .io, .co and .me, are confirmed when you order. 2. **Add it to the cart** — Choose the number of years and WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it. Add other names if you need them: one payment covers the whole cart. 3. **Top up in crypto** — Choose a coin and its network, for at least $25. The exchange rate is locked for 30 minutes. 4. **Send the exact amount** — Send the amount shown to the address on the payment page, on the same network. If you withdraw from an exchange, add its fee so the full amount arrives. 5. **Wait for the confirmations** — The order moves from Awaiting payment to Verifying while the payment is checked on the blockchain, then to Processing for the registration. 6. **Use your domain** — The domain becomes Active, usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. Failed order: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. 7. **Confirm your email** — Check your inbox: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). Without a verified email, a domain can be suspended. ## What does a domain cost without a card? Prices per year in US dollars, paid from your crypto balance. The same grid applies to every coin. | Extension | 1st year | Renewal | Transfer | WHOIS privacy | Restrictions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .net | $12.19 | $12.19 | $12.19 | Free | None | | .org | $8.79 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .xyz | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .io | $32.99 | $50.49 | $50.49 | Free | None | | .ai | $81.99 | $81.99 | $81.99 | Free | min. 2 years | | .co | $30.69 | $30.69 | $30.69 | Free | None | | .app | $8.49 | $14.49 | $14.49 | Free | HTTPS required | *8 extensions · prices per year in USD* ## What does it cost in total? The domain price, plus the network or withdrawal fee of your coin. There is no card fee and no currency conversion by a bank. - **Domain:** a .com is $11.49 for the first year and $11.49 for each renewal. All 55 extensions are on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). - **Top-up:** at least $25. What the order does not use stays on your balance for renewals and new domains. - **Network fee:** paid by the sender to the blockchain, or charged by the exchange as a withdrawal fee. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. Top up only what you plan to spend on domains; see [refunds and balance](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/). ## Is it safe to pay for a domain in crypto? Yes, if you send the exact amount on the right network. BuyDomainsCrypto is a domain registration service operated by DomaineGoat LLC. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules. - **No card data to leak.** You never type card details on our site. - **No ID to store.** No KYC — only a verified email, kept out of public WHOIS where the registry allows it. See [no-KYC domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/). - **A clear failure rule:** if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. - **A real abuse policy.** Phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension; see [abuse](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). A crypto payment cannot be reversed by a bank. Check the address, the amount and the network before you send. ## Search a domain and pay in crypto Search a domain name: https://buydomainscrypto.com/app/domains/?q=yourname.com Popular extensions: .com ($11.49), .net ($12.19), .xyz ($11.49), .io ($32.99) ## Buying a domain without a credit card: FAQ ### My card was declined buying a domain.

No. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts crypto only: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). Cards, PayPal and bank transfers are not accepted. If your money is in a bank account, buy USDT or USDC on an exchange or a P2P market first. Then withdraw it on the network shown on our payment page. ### Which coin is the cheapest to send? For most buyers, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) costs little to send and keeps the dollar value. Fees change with network load, so check the withdrawal fee your exchange shows before you confirm. Ethereum fees, for ETH, USDT ERC-20 and USDC, rise and fall with gas prices. Bitcoin fees depend on how busy the network is. ### Do I need an ID to buy a domain with crypto? No. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private. ICANN rules require the registrant email to be verified within 15 days of registration. The exchange where you buy your crypto may ask for ID: that is its own rule, not ours. Extensions with eligibility or ID rules, such as .us, .ca or .eu, are not sold here. ### What if I send the wrong amount or use the wrong network? Send the exact amount shown, on the network shown: that is how the payment is matched to your order. A payment sent on another network does not reach your top-up and may not be recoverable. If something went wrong, write to support@buydomainscrypto.com with the order reference, the coin, the network, the exact amount and the time you sent it. We cannot promise a recovery. ### How long until my domain works? The payment is credited after its confirmations: 2 for Bitcoin, 20 for USDT TRC-20, 12 for ERC-20 tokens and ETH, 1 for Solana and 6 for Litecoin. Registration then follows, usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. After that, new DNS records can take some time to spread across the internet. ### Can I get my crypto back if I change my mind? No, top-ups are not paid back in crypto. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. Failed orders are covered: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. You can use that amount for another name. Top up only what you plan to spend on domains. The full rules are on [refunds and balance](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/). ### Is .com the only extension I can buy without a card? No. All 55 extensions we sell are paid the same way, from the crypto balance. Examples of first-year prices: .com $11.49/year, .org $8.79/year, .app $8.49/year and .me $17.49/year. Compare the renewal price too, since you pay it every year after the first. All prices are on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). ## Sources 1.

The Chagos treaty is on hold and .io works normally. Risks, precedents, and .io at $32.99/year paid in crypto, no KYC. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/is-io-safe-2026/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) .io is the country code of the British Indian Ocean Territory. A treaty to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius raised the question of what happens to .io. Here are the facts as of October 2026. **Quick answer — Is .io safe to buy in 2026?** Yes, for now. As of October 2026, .io works normally: the UK–Mauritius treaty on the Chagos Islands was put on hold in 2026, and no retirement of .io has been announced. **BuyDomainsCrypto** sells .io at $32.99/year the first year and $50.49/year to renew, paid in crypto with no KYC. The long-term risk is real but slow: a retired country code gets years of transition. ## .io at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Type | Country-code TLD (ccTLD) of the British Indian Ocean Territory | | Registry | Internet Computer Bureau, a subsidiary of Identity Digital | | Status in October 2026 | Operating normally: registrations, renewals and transfers | | Chagos treaty | UK–Mauritius agreement, put on hold in 2026 (DomainIncite) | | Who can register | Anyone: no residency rule | | WHOIS privacy at BuyDomainsCrypto | Free | | Price at BuyDomainsCrypto | $32.99 first year · $50.49 renewal · $50.49 transfer (per year) | | Registration period | 1 to 10 years | | Availability check | Confirmed when you order, not instantly in the search | ## Why do people ask whether .io is safe? Because .io is tied to a territory whose status is changing. .io is the country code of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), which covers the Chagos Archipelago. In 2024 and 2025, the United Kingdom and Mauritius agreed a treaty to transfer sovereignty over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. If the BIOT ceased to exist, its ISO country code "IO" could be withdrawn, and the .io extension could in principle be retired. .io is popular with startups, SaaS products, developer tools and crypto projects, so the question matters to many businesses. ## What happened to the Chagos treaty in 2026? It was put on hold. In 2026, DomainIncite reported that the deal had been put on ice and that .io was safe for now. We found no announcement of a change to .io by IANA or by the registry, and .io names register, renew and resolve normally as of October 2026. A treaty on hold can be revived, so the question is not closed. But any change would be a slow, public process, not a sudden switch-off. ## What happens to a domain extension when a country code is retired? It is retired slowly, with years of notice. The steps, in general: 1. **ISO 3166 removes the code.** The ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency decides country codes, and IANA follows its list for country-code TLDs. 2. **IANA starts a retirement process.** Under the ccTLD retirement policy, the manager receives a notice and a transition period, five years by default, which can be extended. 3. **Registrants move.** During the transition, owners move their sites and email to another domain. 4. **The extension leaves the root zone** at the end of the period, and its names stop resolving. None of these steps has started for .io as of October 2026. ## Have other country-code domains been retired? Yes, a few, and one well-known code never was. - **.yu** (Yugoslavia) was removed from the internet in 2010, several years after the country was renamed and then split. - **.su** (Soviet Union) still works today, more than 30 years after the USSR ended, because its code was kept reserved. These cases show two things: retirement takes years, and it is not automatic. The outcome for .io would depend on ISO, IANA and the parties to the treaty. ## Should I still buy a .io domain in 2026? Yes, if the name fits your project, with three precautions: - **Keep the .io you have built on.** There is no reason to move a working product before any retirement is announced. - **Also register the .com** of the same name, or another generic extension, as a fallback and to protect the brand. A .com costs $11.49/year. - **Keep auto-renew on.** A .io that expires can be lost to someone else long before any retirement could happen. For a new project with no ties to .io, compare .xyz, .dev, .app, .ai and .co on [domains for Web3 startups](https://buydomainscrypto.com/web3-startup-domains/).

FAQ ### Will .io domains stop working? Not as of October 2026. The Chagos treaty was put on hold in 2026, and no retirement of .io has been announced. If the IO code were ever removed from ISO 3166, a retirement process would start. It gives a transition period of years, five by default, before an extension leaves the root zone. ### What is the link between .io and the Chagos Islands? .io is the country-code TLD of the British Indian Ocean Territory, which covers the Chagos Archipelago. In 2024 and 2025 the United Kingdom and Mauritius agreed a treaty to transfer sovereignty over the islands to Mauritius. If the territory ceased to exist, its country code, and with it .io, could in principle be retired. ### Is .io still a good choice for a startup in 2026? Yes, if the name fits. .io works normally, has no residency rule and remains common for SaaS, developer tools and crypto projects. Register the .com of the same name as a fallback if it is free, and keep auto-renew on. For a brand-new project, compare .xyz, .dev, .app or .co too. ### How much does a .io cost at BuyDomainsCrypto? $32.99/year the first year, $50.49/year for each renewal and $50.49 to transfer in. WHOIS privacy: Free. You pay in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) from a balance topped up from $25, with no KYC. The availability of a .io name is confirmed when you order. ### Can I pay for a .io domain with crypto? Yes. Top up your balance with Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), then register the .io from it. USDT is accepted on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20). No ID is asked: only a working email, verified after registration as ICANN rules require. ### Who runs the .io registry? Internet Computer Bureau Limited, per the IANA root zone database; it is a subsidiary of Identity Digital. .io has no residency rule, so anyone can register a name. It supports DNSSEC and internationalised domain names, and it allows WHOIS privacy: free at BuyDomainsCrypto. ### Should I move my .io site to another domain now? No need as of October 2026. Moving a working product costs time, traffic and links, and no retirement process has started for .io. Register a fallback name such as the .com, keep your DNS records exported, and watch for news from IANA or the registry. A retirement would come with years of notice. ## Sources 1.

Or move it out again: the transfer code is free. **Quick answer — How do I transfer a domain to a registrar that accepts crypto?** To transfer a domain to **BuyDomainsCrypto** and pay with crypto, unlock it at your current registrar, get its auth (EPP) code, and start the transfer with a balance topped up in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. A .com transfer costs $11.49 and adds one year. No KYC: only a verified email.

Yes, if four conditions are met. Check them at your current registrar before you start: 1. **60 days have passed** since the domain was registered or last transferred. The ICANN Transfer Policy blocks gTLD transfers inside that window. 2. **The domain is active.** An expired domain, or one in its redemption period, must be renewed or restored at the current registrar first. 3. **The transfer lock is off.** Registrars call it transfer lock, registrar lock or clientTransferProhibited. 4. **You receive email** at the registrant address, in case an approval message is sent. Also check that we sell the extension: the [list of extensions](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/) shows all 55 of them, with their transfer price. ## How to transfer a domain in, step by step 1. **Unlock the domain** — At your current registrar, turn off the transfer lock. If WHOIS privacy hides your contact email, check that you still receive the registrar's messages. 2. **Get the auth (EPP) code** — Ask the current registrar for the transfer code, also called auth code or EPP code. Keep it private: it works like a password for the domain. 3. **Top up your balance** — Top up in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, at least $25. A .com transfer costs $11.49, paid from the balance. 4. **Start the transfer** — Send a transfer request from your BuyDomainsCrypto account with the domain name and its auth code. Our team applies it and gives you a reference number. 5. **Approve it if asked** — Depending on the registrars involved, an email may ask you to confirm or cancel the transfer. Approve it to avoid waiting. 6. **Wait for completion** — gTLD transfers usually finish in 5 to 7 days, sooner if the old registrar releases the domain early. One year is added to the expiry date. ## How do I keep my website and email working during a transfer? Keep the same DNS until the transfer is complete. A transfer changes the registrar, not your DNS records, unless the old registrar hosts your DNS. - **DNS hosted by the old registrar?** Copy every record first: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA. After the transfer, recreate them on our DNS or point the domain to other nameservers. - **Using your own nameservers** (a DNS provider, your host or a CDN)? Nothing changes: the nameservers move with the domain. - **DNSSEC switched on?** Turn it off at the old DNS host before you change nameservers, or the domain can stop resolving. - **Email on the domain?** Copy the MX and TXT records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) exactly, or mail can bounce. Our DNS: free DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records, or your own nameservers (2 to 13). DNS changes are applied by our team, each with a reference number. ## How much does a domain transfer cost? The transfer price of the extension, which buys one more year on gTLDs. The year is added to the current expiry date, so the time you already paid for is kept. At BuyDomainsCrypto, a .com transfer costs $11.49, a .net $12.19 and a .org $11.49, each with one year added. The table below shows the main extensions; the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) has the transfer column for all of them. .ai is the exception: its registry sets a 2-year minimum, and most registrars bill a .ai transfer for two years. See [why .ai needs two years](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/ai-domain-2-year-minimum/). Start any transfer a few weeks before the expiry date, so a late renewal at the old registrar does not overlap with it. ## Transfer prices of popular extensions | Extension | 1st year | Renewal | Transfer | WHOIS privacy | Restrictions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .net | $12.19 | $12.19 | $12.19 | Free | None | | .org | $8.79 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .io | $32.99 | $50.49 | $50.49 | Free | None | | .co | $30.69 | $30.69 | $30.69 | Free | None | | .xyz | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | None | | .app | $8.49 | $14.49 | $14.49 | Free | HTTPS required | | .dev | $8.49 | $12.49 | $12.49 | Free | HTTPS required | | .ai | $81.99 | $81.99 | $81.99 | Free | min. 2 years | *9 extensions · prices per year in USD* ## How do ccTLD transfers work (.io, .co, .me)? Each country-code registry sets its own transfer rules; the ICANN Transfer Policy covers gTLDs only. The 60-day rule, the added year and the approval steps can differ. - **.io, .co, .me and most other ccTLDs we sell** use an auth code, as gTLDs do. - **.gg** is registered one year at a time. Before a ccTLD transfer, write to support@buydomainscrypto.com with the domain name, not the code. We confirm the steps and the price for that extension. We do not accept transfers of extensions we do not sell, such as .uk, .de, .us or .eu: their registries require more than an email. ## How do I transfer a domain out of BuyDomainsCrypto? Turn off the transfer lock and request the transfer code in My domains. The code is free, requested from the client area. 1. Open the domain in **My domains** and switch the transfer lock off. 2. Request the transfer (auth/EPP) code. Our team applies each change and gives you a reference number. 3. Give the code to your new registrar and start the transfer there. The 60-day rule also applies after a registration or a transfer to us. We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. ## Domain transfers: FAQ ### How long does a domain transfer take? Most gTLD transfers, for .com, .net, .org and the new gTLDs, finish in 5 to 7 days. The old registrar has five days to release or refuse the transfer; without an answer, it goes through. It can be faster if the old registrar releases the domain early. ccTLD transfers follow their own registry's timing. ### Does a transfer add a year to my domain? On gTLDs, yes: a transfer adds one year to the current expiry date, and the transfer price pays for that year. A .com transfer to BuyDomainsCrypto costs $11.49. ccTLDs follow their own rules, and .ai has a 2-year minimum at most registrars. The [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) shows the transfer price of every extension. ### Why can't I transfer my domain right now? There are four usual reasons. The domain was registered or transferred less than 60 days ago. The transfer lock is still on. The auth code is wrong or expired. Or the domain is expired or in redemption. A recent change of registrant can also trigger a 60-day lock at some registrars. Ask the current registrar which status blocks the transfer. ### Will my website go down during the transfer? Not if the DNS stays the same. The nameservers move with the domain, so a site on your own or third-party DNS keeps working. If the old registrar hosts your DNS, copy every record before you start and recreate it after the transfer, or point the domain to other nameservers first. ### Can I pay for a domain transfer with USDT? Yes. Top up your balance with USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), or with BTC, USDC, ETH, SOL or LTC, then pay the transfer from it. The minimum top-up is $25. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. ### Do I need an ID to transfer a domain in? No. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private. ICANN rules require the registrant email to be verified after a transfer, as after a registration. Extensions whose registry requires more than an email, such as .us, .ca or .eu, are not sold, so they cannot be transferred in. ### What happens if the transfer fails? If the old registrar refuses, or the code is wrong, the transfer does not complete and the domain stays where it was. Nothing changes for your website. Write to support@buydomainscrypto.com with your reference number: we tell you the reason and the next step, such as a new auth code or removing a lock. ### How do I move a domain away from BuyDomainsCrypto? Switch off the transfer lock in My domains and request the transfer code: free, requested from the client area. Then start the transfer at the new registrar with that code. The 60-day rule applies after a registration or a transfer. We never ask for your transfer code by email or chat. ## Sources 1.

Top up your balance (minimum $25) in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL or LTC. Send the exact amount on the exact network. Once the blockchain confirms it, the domain is registered, usually within minutes.

The whole flow happens in the client area. The only wait is the blockchain confirmation of your payment. 1. **Search the name** — Type the name in the domain search. For most extensions, availability comes live from the registry (RDAP). For .io, .co and .me, availability is confirmed when you order. 2. **Add it to the cart** — Pick the extension and add it to the cart. Check its renewal price and any registry rule first, such as the 2-year minimum on .ai: both are on the price list. 3. **Top up your balance** — Choose the amount (minimum $25) and the coin. The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 4. **Send the exact amount on the exact network** — Copy the address and the exact amount from the payment page. Send only that coin, on that network: USDT on TRC-20 is not the same as USDT on ERC-20. 5. **Wait for the credit** — The payment is checked on the blockchain and credited after the network confirmations: 1 for Solana, 2 for Bitcoin, 20 for USDT on Tron. 6. **The domain is registered** — The order is paid from the balance and sent to the registry. Timing: usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. 7. **Manage DNS and renewals** — In My domains: nameservers, DNS records, transfer lock, WHOIS privacy and auto-renew from your balance. ## What do the order statuses mean? Each order shows one of five statuses in the client area. They follow the payment, then the registration. | Status | What is happening | What you do | | --- | --- | --- | | Awaiting payment | The order waits for a top-up that covers it | Send the exact amount on the network shown | | Verifying | The payment is being checked on the blockchain, confirmation by confirmation | Nothing: wait for the confirmations | | Processing | The balance is charged and the registration is sent to the registry | Nothing: most domains are done in minutes | | Active | The domain is registered in the registry | Set the nameservers or DNS records | | Failed | The registry refused the name, or it was taken in the meantime | Nothing to claim: the amount is back on your balance | ## How long does it take to register a domain paid in crypto? Usually a few minutes after your payment confirms. Registration timing: usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. The wait before that depends on the coin you send: - **USDT on Tron (TRC-20)** and **SOL**: about 1 minute. - **ETH, USDT ERC-20 and USDC**: about 5 minutes for 12 confirmations. - **LTC**: about 15 minutes for 6 confirmations. - **BTC**: about 20 minutes for 2 confirmations. These are usual times, not guarantees: a busy network can take longer. The full table is under [how payment works](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/#how-payment-works). ## What happens if the domain is taken before my payment confirms? Your money is safe: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. Nothing is lost and no refund request is needed. The order shows the status Failed. This can happen with a popular name. Someone can register it during the minutes your payment needs to confirm. It can also happen when a registry refuses a name. For .io, .co and .me, availability is only confirmed at order, so a name that looks free can still fail. The credit stays on your balance. Search another name and pay for it at once, with no new top-up. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. ## How does auto-renew work with a crypto balance? Auto-renew pays the renewal from your balance before the domain expires. BuyDomainsCrypto offers automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. - Turn it on or off in My domains, for each domain. - Keep enough balance to cover the renewal price before the expiry date. - Renewal prices are on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/): $11.49 a year for a .com. There is no card on file, so nothing is charged that you did not top up yourself. ## How do I manage DNS after registration? From My domains in the client area. You have free DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records, or your own nameservers (2 to 13). - **Nameservers**: keep ours, or set 2 to 13 custom nameservers. - **DNS records**: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA. - **Transfer lock**: on or off. - **WHOIS privacy**: on or off, where the registry allows it. See [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). Each change you submit gets a reference number, and our team applies it. BuyDomainsCrypto does not sell email or web hosting: use MX records to connect the email provider of your choice. ## How do I transfer a domain in or out? With the domain's auth code, also called the EPP code. **Transfer in:** 1. Unlock the domain at your current registrar and ask it for the auth (EPP) code. 2. Start the transfer from the client area and enter the code. 3. Pay the transfer price from your balance: $11.49 for a .com. On gTLDs, it adds one year to the expiry date. Under ICANN's Transfer Policy, a gTLD domain usually cannot change registrar within 60 days of its registration or of a previous transfer. **Transfer out:** turn off the transfer lock in My domains, then request the auth code. It is free, requested from the client area. We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. The full guide: [transfer a domain and pay in crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). ## How it works: FAQ ### Do I need an account to buy a domain with crypto? Yes: a client account, opened with a random account number, and one email per domain. We collect nothing else: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). No ID, no selfie, no phone number and no card. The account holds your balance, your orders and your domains, and it is where you manage DNS and renewals. ### Can I pay for a single domain without topping up $25? No. Every payment goes through the prepaid balance, and the minimum top-up is $25. That covers two .com registrations at $11.49. What you do not spend stays on your balance for renewals, transfers and new domains. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. ### I closed the payment page. Is my payment lost? No. The pending top-up stays in your account. Open it again to see the address, the network and the exact amount. If you already sent the payment, it is matched by its exact amount and credited after the confirmations. Send within the 30-minute rate lock shown on the page. ### What if I send the wrong coin or the wrong network? Funds sent in another coin or on another network cannot be recovered. Check twice before you send. USDT goes only on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC only on Ethereum (ERC-20). Never use BNB Chain, Polygon or a layer-2. The [pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/) page explains how to avoid wrong-network errors. ### How fast is a .com registered after payment? Usually within minutes of the top-up being credited. With USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or SOL, the credit itself takes about a minute. With Bitcoin, 2 confirmations take about 20 minutes. A few extensions take a few hours at the registry. The order status moves from Verifying to Processing, then to Active. ### Can I register several domains in one order? Yes. Add every name to the cart and pay the total from one balance. Top up once for the whole cart, or more if you want credit for renewals. Each domain then has its own auto-renew switch. For larger lists, read the guide [bulk domain registration with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/bulk-domain-registration-crypto/). ### Can I get my crypto back if I change my mind? No. A top-up is not refundable, and unused balance never expires. If a registration fails, the full amount goes back to your balance, not to your wallet. Top up only what you plan to spend on domains.

The price shown includes the $90/year for it. ## Why customers choose BuyDomainsCrypto - **.com at $11.49/year, renewal at the same price.** The public wholesale cost of a .com is $11.17 from 1 November 2026 (Verisign $10.97 + ICANN $0.20): BuyDomainsCrypto sells close to that floor. - **USDT on Tron (TRC-20) accepted and named.** USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20, BTC, ETH, SOL and LTC; in a check of 15 registrars on 8 October 2026, none of those that list USDT named its network. - **Privacy-first: one email, nothing else.** No ID, no selfie, no name, address or phone: one email per domain, verified as ICANN requires, never sold. No connection logs, no analytics, no tracking cookies. - **Free WHOIS privacy** on every extension sold in your name. Extensions whose registry needs more than an email are either sold registered in our name only (.de, .uk, .nl, .cc, .to, .ch, .pl, .be, .at, .cz, .nz, .fi) or not sold at all (.us, .eu, .fr, .it, .ca, .es, .se). - **Registered in our name: +$90/year.** Optional proxy registration: DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record, so the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. You stay the beneficial owner, with a written right to take the domain back in your name any time, free. Same policy as every domain: anonymity towards the registry, not immunity. - **One prepaid balance** (minimum top-up $25) for registrations, renewals and transfers; unused balance never expires and is not refundable. - **Every price is public:** first year, renewal and transfer for 55 extensions, on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) and in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). - **No takedown on a complaint alone.** A complaint about copyright, defamation, politics, or one sent by a competitor, does not suspend a domain: a decision from a Panamanian court is needed (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama). - **Your data only goes out on a Panamanian court order.** No disclosure to a foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government without Panamanian legal process. The only exception: urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, child exploitation). Operated by DomaineGoat LLC, registered in Panama. - **Strict exceptions, stated openly:** phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, and fraud that takes money from victims (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand) lead to suspension. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP, as ICANN requires. ## BuyDomainsCrypto is built for - Paying for a .com with stablecoins: USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), or USDC, at the dollar price with no surcharge. - Buyers whose card is declined or who have no card: top up in crypto from $25 and register any extension sold. - Founders who need .io, .ai, .xyz, .app or .dev names: .io $32.99/year the first year, .ai $81.99/year (2-year minimum). - Domain investors registering many names: one balance pays every registration and renewal, with auto-renewal per domain. - People who want privacy by default: one email per domain, nothing else, and free WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it. - Publishers, critics and small businesses exposed to complaint-driven takedowns: a copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaint alone never suspends a domain. ## More facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | .com price | $11.49/year the first year and $11.49/year to renew | | Extensions | 55 extensions, each with its own page (price, registry, rules), including 12 sold registered in our name only | | WHOIS privacy | Free on every extension sold in your name; the 12 extensions sold registered in our name only show our company, never you | | Registered in our name | Optional proxy registration: +$90/year per domain, on top of the extension price.

BuyDomainsCrypto: .com $11.49/year, crypto, no KYC. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) Verisign's wholesale .com price rises by $0.71 on 1 November 2026. What it changes for renewals, at cost and at the cheapest registrars, and how to lock a price today. **Quick answer — How much does a .com cost after the November 2026 price increase?** On 1 November 2026, Verisign raises the .com wholesale price from $10.26 to $10.97 a year. With the $0.20 ICANN fee, the cost floor of a .com goes from $10.46 to $11.17. **BuyDomainsCrypto** already sells .com at $11.49/year, above the new floor, with the same price to renew, paid in crypto with no KYC. ## The rise in four numbers - **$10.97** Verisign .com wholesale price from 1 November 2026 (was $10.26) - **$11.17** Cost floor with the $0.20 ICANN fee (was $10.46) - **+6.9%** Rise of the wholesale price ($0.71) - **$11.49** .com at BuyDomainsCrypto, first year and renewal ## The .com price increase: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Wholesale .com before | $10.26 a year (since September 2024) | | Wholesale .com from 1 November 2026 | $10.97 a year | | Rise | +$0.71, about +6.9% | | ICANN fee | $0.20 per domain-year, on top | | Cost floor before → after | $10.46 → $11.17 | | Earlier rises | +7% each September from 2021 to 2024; none in 2025 | | Room left in the contract | Up to three more rises of 7%, per industry reports | | BuyDomainsCrypto .com | $11.49/year, renewal $11.49/year, paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | ## What exactly changes on 1 November 2026? The price Verisign charges registrars for each .com year rises from $10.26 to $10.97. Every registrar pays it from that date, for new registrations, renewals and transfers. ICANN adds a fee of $0.20 per domain-year. So the minimum cost of one .com year, before any registrar margin, goes from $10.46 to $11.17. Registrants do not pay Verisign directly. What you pay depends on how your registrar passes the rise on, and when. ## How has the .com wholesale price changed since 2021? It rose by 7% each September from 2021 to 2024, reaching $10.26, then stayed flat in 2025. The rise to $10.97 on 1 November 2026 is the fifth increase in six years. Verisign runs the .com registry under an agreement with ICANN that allows rises of up to 7% in certain years. Industry reports on the 2026 rise say the contract leaves room for three more rises of 7%. ### Verisign .com wholesale price, 2021–2026 | Date | Change | Wholesale price per year | | --- | --- | --- | | September 2021 to September 2024 | +7% each September (4 rises) | $10.26 after the September 2024 rise | | 2025 | No rise | $10.26 | | 1 November 2026 | +$0.71 (+6.9%) | $10.97 | Add the $0.20 ICANN fee per domain-year for the full cost floor: $10.46 before 1 November 2026, $11.17 after. ## What does the rise mean for .com renewals at other registrars? It depends on how close each registrar sells to cost. Cloudflare states that it charges the registry and ICANN cost with no markup, so its .com price follows the floor. That is $10.46 on 8 October 2026, and $11.17 at cost after 1 November. Several registrars listed a .com renewal below $11.17 on 8 October 2026. After 1 November, those prices would be under the new cost unless they change. Their new prices were not published when we checked. ## .com renewal prices on 8 October 2026, against the new $11.17 floor As of 8 October 2026, per each registrar's pricing page or the named aggregator. | Registrar | .com renewal on 8 Oct 2026 | Against the $11.17 floor | Crypto accepted | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BuyDomainsCrypto | $11.49 | Above | BTC, USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20), USDC (ERC-20), ETH, SOL, LTC | | Cloudflare Registrar | $10.46 (at cost) | Below; at-cost pricing follows the floor | No crypto documented | | Sav | $10.15 | Below | No evidence found | | Spaceship | $10.18 | Below | Not confirmed | | Dynadot | $10.88 | Below | BTC, USDC, USDT, coins via BitPay | | Porkbun | $11.08 | Below | USDC via Coinbase Business | | Namecheap | $14.98 | Above | BTC, as an account top-up | | NameSilo | $17.29 | Above | BTC; ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC via Nicky | | Gandi | $38.38 | Above | BTC, ETH, BCH via BitPay | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* Porkbun and Dynadot per their pricing pages, Cloudflare per cfdomainpricing.com, the others per domainoffer.net (prices updated 8 October 2026; Namecheap includes the $0.20 ICANN fee). Prices after 1 November 2026 were not known on that date. ## Will the .com price change at BuyDomainsCrypto? The rise does not push our .com under cost. Our .com costs $11.49/year for the first year and $11.49/year to renew, a price set above the $11.17 floor that applies from 1 November 2026. Our prices follow one rule: registry wholesale price, plus the ICANN fee where it applies, plus a small margin. Every price is public on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) and in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json), and the [crypto domain price index](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-domain-price-index/) compares them with other registrars. Site changes are listed in the [changelog](https://buydomainscrypto.com/changelog/). ## How can I lock today's .com price? Renew or register for several years before 1 November 2026. Registrars generally charge their current price for each year of a multi-year renewal paid now, so the years you pay today are not affected by a later rise. - **Limit:** a .com cannot be registered for more than 10 years ahead in total. - **At BuyDomainsCrypto:** a new 5-year .com costs the first year $11.49 + 4 renewals at $11.49, paid once from your crypto balance. For a multi-year renewal of a domain you already hold here, write to support. - **Elsewhere:** check that your registrar's multi-year price is its current price, not a future one. Money paid years ahead is not available for other uses. Lock only the names you are sure to keep; investors can read the [bulk guide](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/bulk-domain-registration-crypto/). ## .com price increase: FAQ ### When does the .com price increase take effect? On 1 November 2026. From that date Verisign charges registrars $10.97 per .com year instead of $10.26, for registrations, renewals and transfers. With the $0.20 ICANN fee, the cost floor becomes $11.17. When your own price changes depends on your registrar. ### How much is the .com wholesale price after the increase? $10.97 a year, paid by the registrar to Verisign. ICANN adds $0.20 per domain-year, so the cost of one .com year before any registrar margin is $11.17. A registrar that sells at cost, such as Cloudflare, therefore charges about that amount from 1 November 2026. ### Why does Verisign raise the .com price? Its agreement with ICANN allows it. Verisign runs the .com registry under a contract that permits rises of up to 7% in certain years. It used that room each September from 2021 to 2024, made no rise in 2025, and applies the next one on 1 November 2026. Reports say three more 7% rises remain possible. ### Does BuyDomainsCrypto raise its .com price on 1 November? Our .com costs $11.49/year, with the same price to renew, and that price already sits above the new $11.17 floor. The rise therefore does not push it under cost. Every price we charge is public on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) and in pricing.json, paid in crypto with no KYC. ### Should I renew my .com for several years now? If you are sure to keep the name, a multi-year renewal paid before 1 November 2026 locks your registrar's current price for those years at most registrars. The total cannot exceed 10 years ahead. If you may drop the name, a long renewal costs more than it saves. ### What does the rise mean if I use Cloudflare Registrar? Cloudflare states that it charges the registry and ICANN cost with no markup. On 8 October 2026 its .com was $10.46, the old floor, so at cost it becomes $11.17 after 1 November. Cloudflare documents no crypto payment; see our [Cloudflare Registrar alternative](https://buydomainscrypto.com/alternatives/cloudflare-registrar/). ### Is .net going up too? Yes, later. Verisign raises the .net wholesale price from $10.91 to $12.00 on 1 March 2027, per Domain Name Wire. The [.net price report](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/net-price-increase-march-2027/) covers the date, the gap with Cloudflare's current .net price and what to do before March. ## Sources 1.

What it changes, what is still unclear, and what to do before that date. **Quick answer — How much will a .net domain cost after March 2027?** On 1 March 2027, Verisign raises the .net wholesale price from $10.91 to $12.00 a year, per Domain Name Wire (27 August 2026). With the $0.20 ICANN fee, the cost floor becomes $12.20. **BuyDomainsCrypto** sells .net at $12.19/year today, paid in crypto with no KYC, and will revise that price before 1 March 2027. ## The rise in four numbers - **$12.00** Verisign .net wholesale price from 1 March 2027 (was $10.91) - **$12.20** Cost floor with the $0.20 ICANN fee (was $11.11) - **+10%** Rise of the wholesale price ($1.09) - **$12.19** .net at BuyDomainsCrypto today, first year and renewal ## The .net price increase: key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Wholesale .net today | $10.91 a year | | Wholesale .net from 1 March 2027 | $12.00 a year | | Rise | +$1.09, about +10% | | ICANN fee | $0.20 per domain-year, on top | | Cost floor before → after | $11.11 → $12.20 | | Announced | August 2026 (Domain Name Wire, 27 August 2026) | | Open question | Cloudflare, which sells at cost, listed .net at $11.86 on 8 October 2026, not $11.11 | | BuyDomainsCrypto .net today | $12.19/year, renewal $12.19/year; to be revised before 1 March 2027 | ## What changes on 1 March 2027? The price Verisign charges registrars for each .net year rises from $10.91 to $12.00. From that date, every registrar pays it for new registrations, renewals and transfers of .net names. With the ICANN fee of $0.20 per domain-year, the public cost floor of a .net goes from $11.11 to $12.20. What you pay depends on when and how your registrar passes the rise on. The .com rise comes first, on 1 November 2026; see the [.com price report](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/). ## Why does Cloudflare show $11.86 for a .net? We do not know yet. Cloudflare states that it sells at the registry and ICANN cost, with no markup. On 8 October 2026 it listed .net at $11.86, per cfdomainpricing.com. But $10.91 + $0.20 gives $11.11, a gap of $0.75 that we could not explain from public sources. Until it is explained, we treat $11.86 as the prudent floor for .net today. Our current .net price, $12.19/year, sits above it. ## What will .net cost at BuyDomainsCrypto after March 2027? We will revise the .net price before 1 March 2027; the new price is not set yet. Today a .net costs $12.19/year for the first year and $12.19/year to renew. The new floor of $12.20 is above that level, so the price must move. It will follow the same rule as the rest of the grid: registry wholesale price, plus the ICANN fee, plus a small margin. The current price of every extension is on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) and in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). Years you pay before the change keep the price you paid. ## .net prices at other registrars on 8 October 2026 As of 8 October 2026, per each registrar's pricing page or the named aggregator, before the March 2027 rise. | Registrar | .net first year | .net renewal | Crypto accepted | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BuyDomainsCrypto | $12.19 | $12.19 | BTC, USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20), USDC (ERC-20), ETH, SOL, LTC | | Cloudflare Registrar (at cost) | $11.86 | $11.86 | No crypto documented | | Dynadot | $12.52 | $12.52 | BTC, USDC, USDT, coins via BitPay | | Porkbun | $12.52 | $12.52 | USDC via Coinbase Business | | Namecheap | $11.98 | $15.06 | BTC, as an account top-up | | NameSilo | $14.95 | $15.95 | BTC; ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC via Nicky | | Gandi | $12.99 | $39.98 | BTC, ETH, BCH via BitPay | | Spaceship | $4.98 (promo) | $11.40 | Not confirmed | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* Porkbun and Dynadot per their pricing pages, Cloudflare per cfdomainpricing.com, the others per domainoffer.net (prices updated 8 October 2026; first-year prices may include promo codes; Namecheap includes the $0.20 ICANN fee). ## Should I renew my .net before March 2027? If you are sure to keep the name, yes: a multi-year renewal paid before 1 March 2027 locks your registrar's current price for those years at most registrars. Registrars generally charge their current price for each year of a renewal paid now. - **Limit:** a .net cannot be registered for more than 10 years ahead in total. - **At BuyDomainsCrypto:** a new 3-year .net costs the first year $12.19 + 2 renewals at $12.19, paid once from your crypto balance. For a multi-year renewal of a .net you already hold here, write to support. - **Names you may drop:** a long renewal costs more than it saves. To move a .net here first, see the [transfer guide](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). ## .net price increase: FAQ ### When does the .net price increase take effect? On 1 March 2027. From that date Verisign charges registrars $12.00 per .net year instead of $10.91, for registrations, renewals and transfers. Domain Name Wire reported the announcement on 27 August 2026. When your own price changes depends on your registrar. ### How much is the .net cost floor after the increase? $12.20 a year: $12.00 for Verisign plus the $0.20 ICANN fee. Today the same calculation gives $11.11. Cloudflare, which sells at cost, listed .net at $11.86 on 8 October 2026, a gap of $0.75 we could not explain from public sources. Until it is explained, $11.86 is the prudent floor today. ### Will BuyDomainsCrypto raise its .net price? Yes, before 1 March 2027, because the new floor is above today's price of $12.19/year. The new price is not set yet. It will follow the same rule as the whole grid: registry price, plus the ICANN fee, plus a small margin. It will appear on the pricing page and in pricing.json. ### Does the rise affect .net names I already paid for? No. The years already paid stay paid. The rise applies to registrations, renewals and transfers made from 1 March 2027. A renewal paid before that date is charged at the price your registrar shows when you pay it. At most registrars, that includes every year of a multi-year renewal. ### Is .com going up too? Yes, and sooner. Verisign raises the .com wholesale price from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026, so the .com floor becomes $11.17. Our .com costs $11.49/year, above that floor, with the same price to renew. The [.com price report](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/) covers the history of the rises and how to lock a price. ### Can I pay for a .net domain with crypto? Yes. Top up your balance with Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), from $25, then register or renew the .net from it. USDT is accepted on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20). No ID is asked: only a working email, verified as ICANN rules require. ## Sources 1.

One thing remains, because ICANN requires it from every registrar: a working email for the domain contact, verified and kept private. **Quick answer — Can I buy a domain without KYC?** Yes. **BuyDomainsCrypto** lets you buy a domain without KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents, at any amount. You pay in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) and a .com costs $11.49/year. The only check is the one ICANN requires from every registrar: a working registrant email.

Each has a page that explains why | | Abuse and complaints | No takedown on a complaint alone (a decision from a Panamanian court is needed); phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension | ## What does BuyDomainsCrypto never ask for? We never ask for identity documents, whatever you buy and however much you spend. That means no: - passport, ID card or driving licence; - selfie or video check; - proof of address or company documents; - phone number check by SMS or call; - card or bank account, since payment is in crypto only. There is no verified tier and no spending limit that triggers a check later. Support never asks for secrets either: We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. ## What does ICANN still require when you buy a domain? A verified email, and nothing else. ICANN rules apply to every registrar, with or without KYC, and to every gTLD such as .com, .net and .org. - **Email verification.** Under the Whois Accuracy Program of the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement, the registrant email or phone must be verified within 15 days of a registration, a transfer or a change. Without an answer, the registrar must verify manually or suspend the domain. At BuyDomainsCrypto, the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). - **A real email.** We collect one email per domain, nothing else. A fake or dead email gets the domain suspended. - **Private by default.** Since 21 August 2025, ICANN's Registration Data Policy keeps personal data out of public lookups by default. Privacy is legal, and we make it the default: one email, nothing else. ## Which domain registries check identity? A few registries run their own identity checks, whatever the registrar. BuyDomainsCrypto does not sell these extensions: | Extension | Registry rule | Sold here? | | --- | --- | --- | | .dk | Punktum dk may require ID verification (photo ID, proof of address, selfie) on a risk basis | No | | .cn | CNNIC real-name verification: passport for foreign individuals, company certificate for organisations | No | | .ru | Since 1 September 2026, holders must verify their identity through the Russian Gosuslugi portal | No | | .in | Identity verification (e-KYC) within 7 days of a registration or renewal (2026) | No | ## Which extensions does BuyDomainsCrypto refuse to sell? Some registries require more than an email: an ID or tax number, residency, a local link, or the holder's name and address in their own records. Our rule is one email per domain, nothing else. Where our company can be the holder, we sell the extension registered in our name only; where it cannot (residency, nexus, ID number), we do not sell it. Each one has a page that explains the registry's rule. | Extension | What the registry requires | At BuyDomainsCrypto | | --- | --- | --- | | [.us](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/us/) | US nexus; privacy forbidden, holder data public | Not sold | | [.eu](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/eu/) | EU/EEA citizenship, residency or establishment | Not sold | | [.fr](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/fr/) | EU/EEA residency, checked by AFNIC | Not sold | | [.it](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/it/) | EEA residency and a tax or ID number; holder name public | Not sold | | [.ca](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/ca/) | Canadian presence | Not sold | | [.es](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/es/) | ID or VAT number; no privacy service | Not sold | | [.se](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/se/) | ID or tax number | Not sold | | [.uk](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/uk/) | Holder name and address, validated by Nominet | Registered in our name only | | [.de](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/de/) | Holder name and address; German recipient on request | Registered in our name only | ## Which registrars ask for ID? Some well-known registrars that accept crypto do ask for an ID in some cases. The table shows what each one says on its own pages, as of 8 October 2026. Where a page could not be opened, we say so. | Registrar | Identity checks (per its own pages) | Crypto accepted | | --- | --- | --- | | BuyDomainsCrypto | None: no ID, no selfie; only a verified email | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Porkbun | Photo ID through Veriff for a subset of new accounts, based on geographic and other signals (per a search snippet of its knowledge base) | USDC through Coinbase Business | | Namecheap | Its terms allow a government ID and a selfie (Veriff) in case of dispute or abuse (per a search snippet); BitPay asks for ID above $3,000 | BTC as an account top-up, through BTCPay or BitPay | | Njalla | No KYC, email or XMPP only (third-party source); Njalla itself is the registrant of the domain | BTC, LTC, XMR, ETH | | OrangeWebsite | Says it only needs a valid email address | BTC, LTC, ETH, BCH, XMR through BitPay or CoinPayments | | NiceNIC | Says WHOIS protection does not remove verification requirements | USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, LTC (USDT network not stated) | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* As of 8 October 2026, per each registrar's own pages. Full matrix of 15 registrars: [crypto registrar matrix 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/). ## Is a no-KYC domain legal, and what is not allowed? Yes. ICANN rules ask registrars for a verified email, not for an ID, and privacy is a legitimate need. No KYC is about privacy and speed, not about hiding abuse. Our official policy: - **No takedown on a complaint alone.** Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama). - **Your data only goes out on a Panamanian court order.** Not to a foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government without Panamanian legal process. The only exception: urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, child exploitation). - **Strict exceptions.** Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand): suspension within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Child sexual abuse material: suspension immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. - **Trademark disputes follow the UDRP**, as ICANN requires: the domain is locked within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider, the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider, and the panel's decision is applied. What happens to registrars that ignore real abuse? Trustname marketed itself as a safe place for "sensitive niches". ICANN sent it breach notices, then terminated its accreditation in 2026. One reason given: it acted weeks after phishing reports. We act fast on the four exceptions, and we say so. Read the [acceptable use policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/) or [report abuse](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). ## No-KYC domains: FAQ ### Do I need an ID to buy a domain at BuyDomainsCrypto? No. BuyDomainsCrypto never asks for a passport, an ID card, a selfie, a phone check or documents, at any amount. You need a working email: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). Payment is in crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC), so there is no card check either, and no bank details to give. ### Does no KYC mean nobody can know who owns the domain? No. No KYC means private, not hidden from the law. We collect one email per domain, verified as ICANN requires. With WHOIS privacy, it stays out of public lookups where the registry allows it. It only goes out on a Panamanian court order or an urgent request that ICANN rules require registrars to answer, and in a UDRP case it is confirmed to the dispute provider, as ICANN requires. ### Can I use a fake name or a fake address? No need. We only ask for one email per domain, and it must work, because ICANN rules require us to verify it: a fake or dead email gets the domain suspended. Nothing else is collected. Turn on WHOIS privacy to keep the email out of public lookups: it is free where the registry allows it. ### Which registrars require ID verification? As of 8 October 2026, Porkbun asks a subset of new accounts for a photo ID through Veriff, per its knowledge base. Namecheap's terms allow an ID and selfie check in disputes or abuse cases. Some registries also check identity: .dk, .cn, .ru and .in. BuyDomainsCrypto does not sell those four extensions and never asks for ID. ### Can I register a .us or .eu domain at BuyDomainsCrypto? No. The .us registry requires a US link (nexus) and forbids WHOIS privacy; .eu requires EU/EEA citizenship, residency or establishment. Both need more than an email, so BuyDomainsCrypto does not sell them. Our rule is one email per domain, nothing else. The [.us](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/us/) and [.eu](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/eu/) pages explain why, and a .com is open to anyone. ### Do I need an email to buy a domain? Yes. Every registrar that follows ICANN rules must verify the registrant email. So a domain without a working email is not possible on .com, .net, .org or any gTLD. At BuyDomainsCrypto, we collect one email per domain, nothing else. It is kept private and used for the ICANN verification and for renewal and security messages. ### What happens if someone reports my domain for abuse? It depends on the report. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension within 24 hours of a well-documented report, and child sexual abuse material immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. Any other complaint, such as copyright, defamation or a competitor's claim, needs a Panamanian court decision: a complaint alone does not suspend your domain. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP.

Networks, fees, confirmations. No KYC. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) Pick the coin you already hold. Each one has its own page with its network, its confirmations and the mistakes to avoid. Below: the networks and fees guide. **Quick answer — Which cryptocurrencies can I use to pay for a domain?** **BuyDomainsCrypto** lets you pay for a domain with crypto in 6 coins on 7 networks. BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH, SOL and LTC. You top up a dollar balance from $25, then pay any domain from it, with no KYC. A .com costs $11.49/year, whatever the coin. ## Pay with each cryptocurrency One page per coin and network: confirmations, address format, fees and the registrars that accept it. - [Bitcoin](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/bitcoin/) - [USDT TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/) - [USDT ERC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-erc20/) - [USDC](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdc/) - [Ethereum](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/ethereum/) - [Solana](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/solana/) - [Litecoin](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/litecoin/) ## Which network does each coin use? Each coin is accepted on one network only, except USDT, which works on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20). The payment page shows the network next to the address. Your wallet or exchange must use the same one. | Coin | Network | Confirmations | Address format | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BTC | Bitcoin | 2 | Starts with bc1, 1 or 3 | On-chain only; Lightning is not accepted | | USDT | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | Starts with T | Self-custody wallets need a little TRX for energy | | USDT | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | Starts with 0x | Gas paid in ETH | | USDC | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | Starts with 0x | Ethereum only: not USDC on Solana, Base or Polygon | | ETH | Ethereum mainnet | 12 | Starts with 0x | Not on Arbitrum, Optimism, Base or other layer-2 | | SOL | Solana | 1 | Base58, 32 to 44 characters | Native SOL only; SPL tokens are not accepted | | LTC | Litecoin | 6 | Starts with ltc1, L or M | A block about every 2.5 minutes | ## TRC-20 vs ERC-20 vs Solana: which is cheapest to send? For a small top-up, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or SOL on Solana usually costs the least to send. The fee goes to the network, not to BuyDomainsCrypto, and the domain price is the same whatever you choose. - **USDT on Tron (TRC-20)**: a transfer uses Tron resources (energy and bandwidth), paid in TRX. From a self-custody wallet, keep some TRX next to your USDT. An exchange withdrawal charges its own fee instead. - **USDT or USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20)**: every transfer pays gas in ETH. Gas changes with network load, so the cost of the same transfer varies from hour to hour. - **SOL on Solana**: the fee is usually a small fraction of a cent, which makes SOL the cheapest coin to send for a small amount. - **BTC**: the fee depends on how busy the network is and on the size of the transaction, not on the amount. - **LTC**: low fees, and 6 confirmations usually take about a quarter of an hour. Want a stable dollar value? Pick USDT or USDC: the amount to send is the dollar amount, to the last decimal. ## How do I avoid sending crypto on the wrong network? Match three things before you send: the coin, the network and the exact amount. Funds sent in another coin or on another network cannot be recovered. The usual mistakes: - **USDT on BNB Chain (BEP-20)**. Some exchanges suggest it by default. Pick Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20) instead. - **USDC on Solana, Base or Polygon**. Only USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) is accepted. - **ETH on a layer-2** such as Arbitrum, Optimism or Base. The 0x address looks the same on every one of these networks. Only the Ethereum mainnet is accepted. - **A Lightning invoice instead of on-chain Bitcoin**. Send a normal Bitcoin transaction. - **A fee taken from the amount**. Some exchanges deduct their withdrawal fee from the amount you type. The payment is matched on the exact amount, so check what will arrive. In doubt, write to support@buydomainscrypto.com before you send, not after. ## Can I pay from an exchange such as Binance or Coinbase? Yes, with a normal on-chain withdrawal to the address shown, on the exact network. Any wallet or exchange works if it supports that network: USDT on Tron (TRC-20) is the most common choice on exchanges. Internal payment systems of an exchange, such as Binance Pay, are not accepted. Only a blockchain transfer can be checked and credited. The exchange fee comes on top of the amount to send. ## Which payment methods are not accepted? BuyDomainsCrypto takes crypto only, on the 7 networks above. Not accepted: - Monero (XMR) and Bitcoin Lightning; - BNB and any BNB Chain (BEP-20) token; - Polygon, Arbitrum, Base and other layer-2 networks; - cards, PayPal and bank transfers. No card means no card check and no chargeback. It also means a payment cannot be reversed: send carefully. Paying without a card is explained in [buy a domain without a credit card](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/buy-domain-without-credit-card/). ## Accepted cryptocurrencies In our check of 15 registrars on 8 October 2026, none of those that list USDT named the network they accept. BuyDomainsCrypto names it: Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20). Compare in the [crypto registrar matrix](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-registrar-matrix-2026/). - Bitcoin (BTC) - Tether (USDT) — TRC-20 or ERC-20 - USD Coin (USDC) — ERC-20 - Ethereum (ETH) - Solana (SOL) - Litecoin (LTC) ## How payment works 1. **Top up $25 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how your payment is found and matched to your account automatically. Nothing else to send us. 4. **Credited after the network confirmations** — Your balance is credited once the network has confirmed the transaction. Usual times: 5. **One balance for every domain** — If you started from a domain search, the domains in your cart are registered automatically as soon as the top-up is credited. What is left stays on your balance for renewals, transfers and new domains. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## Paying for a domain with crypto: FAQ ### Which crypto is best to pay for a domain? USDT on Tron (TRC-20) is the usual choice: the amount is in dollars, the network fee is low and the credit takes about a minute. SOL is the cheapest coin to send and is credited after 1 confirmation. Bitcoin works too, with 2 confirmations, about 20 minutes. The domain price is the same in every coin: $11.49/year for a .com. ### Do you accept USDT on TRC-20 and ERC-20? Yes, both. USDT on Tron (TRC-20) is credited after 20 confirmations, and USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) after 12. Pick the network on the payment page and the same network in your wallet or exchange. USDT on BNB Chain (BEP-20), Polygon or any other network is not accepted. Details: [pay with USDT TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/). ### Do you accept Bitcoin Lightning? No. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts on-chain Bitcoin only, credited after 2 confirmations, usually about 20 minutes. A Lightning invoice cannot be paid on the payment page. For a fast, low-fee payment, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or SOL are credited in about a minute. See [pay with Bitcoin](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/bitcoin/). ### Do you accept Monero or BNB? No. The accepted coins are BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, on the networks in the table above. Monero (XMR), BNB and BNB Chain (BEP-20) tokens are not accepted, and neither are Polygon or layer-2 networks. Coins sent on an unsupported network cannot be recovered, so check the network before you send. ### How long until my crypto payment is credited? It depends on the network. SOL and USDT on Tron (TRC-20) usually take about 1 minute. ETH, USDT ERC-20 and USDC take about 5 minutes. LTC takes about 15 minutes and BTC about 20 minutes. The domain is then registered from your balance, usually within minutes. ### Is there a fee for paying in crypto? BuyDomainsCrypto adds no fee for paying in crypto or in stablecoins: the domain costs the price in the table. You pay the network fee of your own transfer, which goes to the blockchain. With USDT or USDC, the amount to send is the dollar amount, to the last decimal. ### What is the minimum I can pay? The minimum top-up is $25. That covers two .com registrations at $11.49 each. The domain price stays the same whatever coin you use. You can top up more to cover renewals, transfers or several domains at once. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. ### What if I send the wrong amount? The payment is matched to your account by its exact amount, so send exactly what the payment page shows, to the last decimal. Make sure your exchange does not deduct its fee from that amount. If something went wrong, write to support@buydomainscrypto.com with the coin, the network, the exact amount and the time you sent it. **Pay for your domain in crypto** Top up from $25 in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC.

On most gTLDs (.com, .net, .org and the newer extensions), a transfer adds one year to the registration. WHOIS privacy: *Free* = included at no cost. The same grid is in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). Prices are for a standard registration in your name. Option [Registered in our name](https://buydomainscrypto.com/registered-in-our-name/): +$90 a year per domain, on top. **[In our name only](https://buydomainscrypto.com/registered-in-our-name/)**: sold only registered in our name (proxy registration), so the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. The price shown includes the $90/year for it. ## What do the columns mean? - **1st year**: the price of a new registration for one year. - **Renewal**: the price of each following year. This is what you pay year after year. - **Transfer**: the price to move a domain from another registrar. On most gTLDs it also adds one year to the expiry date. - **WHOIS privacy**: whether your contact details can be hidden from public WHOIS and RDAP lookups. See [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). - **Restrictions**: rules set by the registry, such as residency in the EU, a US link, or a minimum period of 2 years. ## How are the prices built? Wholesale cost + a small margin Each price is the registry's wholesale fee, plus the ICANN fee of $0.20 on gTLDs, plus a small margin. We do not sell below cost in the first year to recover the loss at renewal. The best public measure of the wholesale floor is Cloudflare Registrar. It says it charges what the registry and ICANN charge, with no markup. The table puts those floors next to our prices for the 9 extensions people ask about most. ### Wholesale floor vs BuyDomainsCrypto price (USD per year) | Extension | Public wholesale floor (registry + ICANN) | BuyDomainsCrypto, 1st year | BuyDomainsCrypto, renewal | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $10.46 today; $11.17 from 1 November 2026 | $11.49 | $11.49 | | .net | $11.86 (Cloudflare); registry fee $10.91, then $12.00 from 1 March 2027 | $12.19 | $12.19 | | .org | $8.50 first year, $11.20 renewal (Cloudflare); registry fee $11.00 since 1 June 2026 | $8.79 | $11.49 | | .io | $32.00 first year, $50.00 renewal (Cloudflare) | $32.99 | $50.49 | | .co | $30.00 (Cloudflare) | $30.69 | $30.69 | | .xyz | $11.20 renewal (Cloudflare); first-year registry fee not confirmed | $11.49 | $11.49 | | .ai | $80.00 per year, 2-year minimum (Cloudflare) | $81.99 | $81.99 | | .app | $8.20 first year, $14.20 renewal (Cloudflare) | $8.49 | $14.49 | | .dev | $8.20 first year, $12.20 renewal (Cloudflare) | $8.49 | $12.49 | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* Floors as of 8 October 2026. Cloudflare figures: its at-cost prices, per cfdomainpricing.com. Registry fees: Verisign and Public Interest Registry, as reported by osir.com, Domain Name Wire and DomainIncite. Sources are at the bottom of the page. ## Why does the .com price change on 1 November 2026? Because Verisign, the .com registry, raises its wholesale fee from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026. With the ICANN fee of $0.20, the floor that every registrar pays goes from $10.46 to $11.17. - Verisign raised the .com fee by 7% each September from 2021 to 2024. - There was no increase in 2025. - Our .com price, $11.49/year, already sits above the new floor. The published grid is valid until 31 December 2026. Full story and history: [.com price increase, November 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/). **.net follows on 1 March 2027.** Verisign raises the .net fee from $10.91 to $12.00. Our .net price, $12.19/year, will be reviewed before that date. Details: [.net price increase, March 2027](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/net-price-increase-march-2027/). ## Which extensions cost the same to renew? Five popular extensions have one price for the first year and every renewal: - **.com**: $11.49 / $11.49 - **.net**: $12.19 / $12.19 - **.co**: $30.69 / $30.69 - **.xyz**: $11.49 / $11.49 - **.ai**: $81.99 / $81.99 per year, 2 years at a time Four start lower, because the registry offers a lower first-year fee, then renew at the normal fee: - **.org**: $8.79, then $11.49 - **.io**: $32.99, then $50.49 - **.app**: $8.49, then $14.49 - **.dev**: $8.49, then $12.49 Compare the renewal, not only the first year. As of 8 October 2026, Namecheap listed .com at $6.99 for the first year with a new-customer promo code and $14.98 to renew, per domainoffer.net. The full comparison is in our [crypto domain price index](https://buydomainscrypto.com/data/crypto-domain-price-index/). ## How much does a domain cost over 5 years?

Here is the formula for the most common extensions: - **.com, 5 years**: $11.49 + 4 renewals at $11.49 - **.net, 5 years**: $12.19 + 4 renewals at $12.19 - **.org, 5 years**: $8.79 + 4 renewals at $11.49 - **.io, 5 years**: $32.99 + 4 renewals at $50.49 - **.app, 5 years**: $8.49 + 4 renewals at $14.49 - **.ai, 4 years**: 2 years at $81.99 + 2 years at $81.99 (the registry sells .ai 2 years at a time) The network fee of your crypto transfer comes on top. It goes to the blockchain, not to us. A USDT transfer on Tron (TRC-20) or a Solana transfer usually costs less than an Ethereum transfer: see [networks and fees](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/). ## How is a domain transfer priced? A transfer costs the price in the Transfer column: $11.49 for a .com, $12.19 for a .net. On gTLDs such as .com, .net and .org, the transfer adds one year to the expiry date, so you lose no time already paid. Some country extensions handle transfers in their own way. Ask support before you start if your domain is not a gTLD. The steps are in the guide [transfer a domain and pay in crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). ## How payment works Prices are in US dollars. The crypto amount is calculated when you top up, and the rate is locked for 30 minutes. 1. **Top up $25 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how your payment is found and matched to your account automatically. Nothing else to send us. 4. **Credited after the network confirmations** — Your balance is credited once the network has confirmed the transaction. Usual times: 5. **One balance for every domain** — If you started from a domain search, the domains in your cart are registered automatically as soon as the top-up is credited. What is left stays on your balance for renewals, transfers and new domains. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## Domain prices: FAQ ### How much is a .com domain paid in crypto? A .com costs $11.49/year at BuyDomainsCrypto, and $11.49/year to renew. You pay it in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) from a prepaid balance, with no KYC. WHOIS privacy is free. A transfer costs $11.49 and adds one year to the expiry date. The price sits close to the wholesale floor of $11.17 that applies from 1 November 2026. ### Are there hidden fees on top of the price? No. The ICANN fee of $0.20 is already included in every gTLD price, and WHOIS privacy is free where the registry allows it. The only extra cost is the network fee of your crypto transfer, which goes to the blockchain, not to us. The minimum top-up is $25, and what you do not spend stays on your balance for renewals. ### Why is a .io cheaper the first year than at renewal? Because the .io registry charges less for a new registration than for a renewal. The public floor is $32.00 the first year and $50.00 to renew, per Cloudflare's at-cost prices as of 8 October 2026. Our prices follow it: $32.99 the first year, $50.49 to renew. Plan your budget on the renewal price. ### Why is a .ai domain sold for 2 years? Because the .ai registry sets a minimum term of 2 years for registrations and renewals. The price is $81.99/year, so a new .ai is paid for 2 years at once. The same rule applies at most registrars. Read the guide [why .ai has a 2-year minimum](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/ai-domain-2-year-minimum/) for the background. ### Will my .com renewal cost more after 1 November 2026? Our grid is valid until 31 December 2026, and our .com price of $11.49/year is already above the new wholesale floor of $11.17. If a price changes, this page, [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json) and the [changelog](https://buydomainscrypto.com/changelog/) show it. The registry sets the floor; we only add a small margin on top. ### Why don't you sell .com for $1 the first year? Because a .com costs every registrar at least $10.46 today, and $11.17 from 1 November 2026. A first-year price below that is a promotion, and the following years are charged at the normal renewal price. We prefer one honest price: $11.49 the first year and $11.49 to renew, with no promo code needed. ### Do prices change with the price of Bitcoin? No. Prices are fixed in US dollars. When you top up, the payment page converts the dollar amount into the coin you chose and locks the rate for 30 minutes. With USDT or USDC, the amount to send is the dollar amount. Once credited, your balance is in dollars and does not move with the market. ### Can I download the price list? Yes. Every price on this page is published in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json): extension, first year, renewal, transfer, WHOIS privacy, restrictions and minimum years, in US dollars per year. Each extension also has its own page under [domain extensions](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/). The date of the last check is 8 October 2026. ### Which crypto is cheapest to pay with? USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or SOL on Solana usually cost the least to send for a small top-up. ERC-20 tokens and ETH pay Ethereum gas, which changes with network load. Bitcoin fees depend on how busy the network is. The domain price is the same whatever coin you use. Compare them on [pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/). ## Sources 1.

No ID, no logs, no trackers, no KYC. Data out only on a Panamanian court order. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/privacy/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) Privacy-first by design: one email per domain, verified as ICANN requires, never sold. Nothing else about you. **Quick answer — What data does BuyDomainsCrypto collect?** **We collect one email per domain. Nothing else.** BuyDomainsCrypto, a privacy-first domain registration service paid in crypto, asks for no name, no address, no phone, no ID and no card. The email is verified as ICANN requires, never sold, and never published where the registry allows privacy. We keep no connection logs, run no analytics and set no tracking cookies. ## What we hold | Data | Why | Who sees it | | --- | --- | --- | | One email per domain | ICANN requires a verified contact email for every domain; we also use it for renewal and security messages | Us, the registrar and the registry. Never published where privacy applies, never sold | | A random account number | To log in. It says nothing about you | Only you and us | | Your domains, their settings, your balance and top-ups | To run the service: DNS, renewals, transfers, payments from the balance | Only you and us; domain names and nameservers are public by nature | No exception: every extension we sell needs one email, nothing else. Extensions whose registry requires more are not sold. ## Never collected We never ask for, and never store: - your name, postal address or phone number; - an ID document, a selfie, a date of birth or company papers; - a card or bank account number; - your wallet address or the transaction ID (TXID) of a payment. A payment is matched by its exact amount, down to the last decimals; - your IP address in orders or requests; - analytics, advertising trackers or tracking cookies. ## No logs We keep no connection logs. The web server of this site writes no access log. Our server records no IP address in orders or requests. It uses the IP only in memory, to limit the number of requests, and forgets it within an hour. The site is served through the Cloudflare network (CDN and DDoS protection); we do not receive or keep your IP address when you browse it. ## Is my email published in WHOIS or RDAP? No. RDAP replaced WHOIS as the official lookup for generic extensions in January 2025, and ICANN's Registration Data Policy redacts personal data from public results. - **Free WHOIS privacy** on every extension we sell. - **Not sold:** extensions whose registry forbids privacy or keeps or publishes the holder's name and address, such as .us or .es. Extensions whose registry keeps the holder's name and address, such as .uk or .de, are sold registered in our name only: the registry receives our company's details, never yours. Each [extension page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/) states its rule. Details: [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). ## When does BuyDomainsCrypto disclose data? Only on a **Panamanian court order**. We do not hand data to a foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government without Panamanian legal process. ICANN rules add three points, stated plainly: 1. **UDRP proceedings:** when a trademark complaint is filed, the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider handling the case. 2. **Disclosure requests:** ICANN's Registration Data Policy requires registrars to answer requests for registration data. We answer every request; outside urgent cases, the answer is no without a Panamanian court order. 3. **Urgent requests:** the only exception to the court-order rule. ICANN rules require registrars to answer urgent requests about an imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, or child exploitation. We can only release what we hold: one email per domain. Registries keep their own record of each domain under their own rules. Our process is on the [abuse page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). ## What do crypto payments reveal? Public blockchains are public by design: anyone can see the amount and time of a transaction. We do not record your wallet address or your TXID: your top-up is found by its exact amount. No card or bank details ever reach us, because we accept crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). ## Do you sell data or use trackers? No. We do not sell, rent or share your email. The site runs no analytics, no advertising trackers and no tracking cookies. ## What can I change or delete? From the client area or by writing to support@buydomainscrypto.com, you can change the email of a domain, transfer a domain out with its free transfer code, or close your account. We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. This service is operated by DomaineGoat LLC. If this policy changes, the new version is dated on this page and listed in the [changelog](https://buydomainscrypto.com/changelog/). --- BuyDomainsCrypto: BuyDomainsCrypto is a crypto-only domain registration service with no KYC: pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; .com costs $11.49/year with the same price to renew, free WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it. --- # Refunds and balance policy > BuyDomainsCrypto refunds: a failed registration goes back to your balance in full; registered domains are not refundable. No KYC, crypto, top-ups from $25. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) What happens to your money when a registration fails, when a domain is registered, and when a payment goes wrong. One prepaid balance, clear rules. **Quick answer — Can I get a refund on a domain paid in crypto?** **BuyDomainsCrypto**, a no-KYC domain registration service paid in crypto, does not refund registered domains: the registry fee is paid the moment a domain is registered. Failed orders are covered: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. Top-ups start at $25, and unused balance never expires but is not refundable. For an overpayment, a wrong amount or a wrong network, email support with the coin, the network, the amount and the time. ## Refund rules at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Registered domains | Not refundable: the registry fee is paid at registration | | Renewals and completed transfers | Not refundable, for the same reason | | Failed registration | if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance | | Balance | Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable | | Minimum top-up | $25 | | Refunds in crypto | None: balance is not paid back out | | Overpayment or wrong amount | Email support with the coin, network, exact amount and time; we find the transaction on the blockchain | | Wrong network | Funds may be lost. Email support at once with the coin, network, amount and time; recovery is not guaranteed | | Suspension for abuse | No refund | | Chargebacks | Not possible: a crypto payment cannot be reversed by the sender | | Identity check | None: no ID, no selfie, no documents | ## Can I get a refund on a domain I registered? No. When a domain is registered, the registry charges for it at once, and that fee cannot be recovered. Renewals and completed transfers are not refundable for the same reason. Check before you order: - **The spelling** of the name in the cart. - **The number of years.** A .ai domain is sold 2 years at a time, at $81.99/year per year. - **The extension's rules.** For example, .ai is sold 2 years at a time, and .app and .dev require HTTPS. Each [extension page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/) lists its rules. Prices for every extension are on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). ## What happens when a registration fails? Failed orders are covered: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. The amount is available at once for another name, a renewal or a transfer. A registration can fail for three usual reasons: - **The name was taken** between your search and your order. Registration is first-come, first-served. - **Availability was confirmed at order.** For some extensions, such as .io, .co and .me, the live search cannot confirm availability before the order. - **The registry refused it**, for example because an eligibility rule was not met. The order status in the client area shows each step: *Awaiting payment*, *Verifying*, *Processing* and *Active*. A failed order is marked as such. ## What happens to my unused balance? Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. The balance is in US dollars. It never expires, so money you do not spend today pays a renewal next year or a transfer later. It is not paid back out in crypto, so top up what you plan to use. The minimum top-up is $25, and a .com costs $11.49/year. With auto-renew on, renewals are paid from the balance before a domain expires. Keep enough balance to cover the domains you want to keep. How top-ups work is explained on [how it works](https://buydomainscrypto.com/how-it-works/). ## What if I sent the wrong amount or used the wrong network? Email support@buydomainscrypto.com at once, with: - the order reference; - the coin, the network and the exact amount sent; - the time you sent it, with your timezone. We never ask for your TXID or your wallet address. We find the transaction on the blockchain and tell you what can be done. - **Wrong amount:** write to us even if the amount is only slightly off. The exact amount is how a payment is matched to your order. - **Rate lock expired:** the exchange rate is locked for 30 minutes. If you sent after that, write to support with the amount and the time. - **Wrong network:** we accept USDT only on Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC only on Ethereum (ERC-20). Funds sent on BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base or another network may be lost. We cannot promise to recover them. Each coin and network is explained on [pay with crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/). ## Is there a refund after a suspension for abuse? No. A domain suspended for phishing, malware, fraud or any other breach of the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/) is not refunded. The registry fee has been paid, and the domain was used against the rules every customer accepts. ## Can I dispute a crypto payment like a card chargeback? No. A crypto payment goes straight from your wallet to the address on the payment page, with no card issuer or bank in between. Only the receiver can send funds back. This policy is the remedy instead: failed registrations go back to your balance in full. ## Refunds and balance: FAQ ### Can I cancel a domain right after I register it? No. BuyDomainsCrypto pays the registry as soon as a domain is registered, and that fee is not returned. A registered domain is therefore not refundable, even if you cancel a few minutes later. Check the spelling, the extension and the number of years in the cart before you confirm. You can let the domain expire by turning auto-renew off. ### What if the domain I paid for is taken before it is registered? You get the money back on your balance. Failed orders are covered: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. The amount is available at once for another name. This can happen when someone registers the name first. It can also happen on extensions where availability is confirmed at order, such as .io, .co and .me. ### Can I withdraw my balance in crypto? No. The balance pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, and it is not paid back out in crypto. It never expires, so it stays available for next year's renewals. The minimum top-up is $25. Top up what you plan to spend, and keep enough to cover the domains you want to renew. ### Does my BuyDomainsCrypto balance expire? No. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. The balance is kept in US dollars, so its value does not move with the price of the coin you paid with. With auto-renew on, renewals are paid from it automatically before each domain expires. ### I sent USDT on BNB Chain by mistake. Can you recover it? We cannot promise it. BuyDomainsCrypto accepts USDT only on Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20). Funds sent on BNB Chain (BEP-20), Polygon or another network may be lost. Email support at once with the amount, the network and the time you sent it. We check the transaction and tell you whether anything can be done. ### I paid more than the order total. What happens to the extra? Email support@buydomainscrypto.com with the order reference, the exact amount and the time you sent it. We check the transaction on the blockchain and reply by email with what was received and how it is handled. Always send the exact amount shown on the payment page: it is how a payment is matched to your order. ### Can I get a refund on a renewal I no longer need? No. Once a domain is renewed, the registry fee is paid and the renewal is not refundable. To stop a renewal, turn auto-renew off for that domain in the client area before the renewal date. The domain then expires at the end of its current period, and nothing more is taken from your balance. ### Do I need to prove my identity to ask about a payment? No. BuyDomainsCrypto never asks for ID, a selfie or documents, for payments or anything else. We find your payment with the order reference and its exact amount. We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. If someone asks for these in our name, forward the message to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com. **A question about a payment?** Email support with the order reference and the amount. No ID needed, ever.

You stay the beneficial owner, and you can take the domain back in your name any time, free. **Quick answer — Can I register a domain in the registrar's name instead of mine?** Yes. **Registered in our name** is the proxy domain registration of **BuyDomainsCrypto**: DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, is the registrant of record, so the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. You stay the beneficial owner and can take the domain back in your name any time, free.

Proxy domain registration means the registrar's company is the registrant of record, and you use the domain as its beneficial owner. It is the model Njalla made known. At BuyDomainsCrypto, the option is called **Registered in our name**. With a standard registration, you are the registrant: the registry keeps a registrant record for you, and WHOIS privacy hides it from the public. With Registered in our name, the registry receives DomaineGoat LLC's details instead. Nothing about you is sent to the registry, so the domain is not tied to you anywhere outside our own records. We still keep only one email per domain, verified as ICANN requires and never published. It is how we reach you, the beneficial owner. **One email, nothing else** stays true. ## Standard registration or Registered in our name? | | Standard (in your name, privacy on) | Registered in our name | | --- | --- | --- | | Registrant of record | You | DomaineGoat LLC | | What the registry receives | Your registrant record, with your email | DomaineGoat LLC's details only | | Public WHOIS / RDAP | Redacted, with free WHOIS privacy | DomaineGoat LLC | | What BuyDomainsCrypto keeps | One email per domain | One email per domain | | DNS, nameservers, renewals, redirections | You, in the client area | You, in the client area | | Transfer (EPP) code | Free, at any time | Free, at any time | | Back in your own name | Already in your name | On request, free | | Takedown and data policy | Our common policy | The same common policy | | UDRP complaint | Made against you | Made against DomaineGoat LLC; we tell you and you can defend | | Price | The extension price | The extension price + $90 a year | ## Who sees what? The same domain, seen from the four places that matter: | Who | Standard registration | Registered in our name | | --- | --- | --- | | The registry | Your registrant record (your email) | DomaineGoat LLC only | | Anyone using WHOIS / RDAP | Privacy data, never your email | DomaineGoat LLC | | BuyDomainsCrypto | Your one email, your domains, your balance | Your one email, your domains, your balance | | You | Full control in the client area | Full control in the client area | ## What do I keep as the beneficial owner? Everything that makes the domain yours. Our [Terms of Service](https://buydomainscrypto.com/terms/) contain a written commitment: - **Full control** of the domain: DNS records, nameservers, renewals and redirections, from the client area. - **The transfer (EPP) code**, free, at any time, to move the domain to another registrar. - **The domain back in your own name** on simple request, free of charge. The domain then becomes a standard registration, with free WHOIS privacy, and the yearly +$90 stops. For the 12 extensions sold registered in our name only (.de, .uk, .nl, .cc, .to, .ch, .pl, .be, .at, .cz, .nz, .fi), holding the domain in your own name means moving it, with its free transfer code, to a registrar that collects the details the registry requires. You stay the beneficial owner, and you can take the domain back in your name any time, free. ## What does Registered in our name not change? It gives you anonymity towards the registry, not immunity. Our policy is the same for every domain, registered in your name or in ours: - **No takedown on a complaint alone.** Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama). - **Data only on a Panamanian court order**, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, child exploitation). - **Strict exceptions:** phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension. **UDRP.** A trademark complaint is made against the registrant of record, so against DomaineGoat LLC. We tell you, the beneficial owner, so that you can defend the domain, and the panel's decision is applied. Read the [abuse policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/) and the [acceptable use policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/): they apply in full. ## How much does Registered in our name cost? +$90 a year per domain, on top of the price of the extension, every year the option is on. You pay it from your crypto balance, like any registration or renewal. Examples for the first year: - **.com:** $11.49/year + $90 for the option. - **.io:** $32.99/year + $90 for the option. - **.ai:** $81.99/year (sold 2 years at a time) + $90 a year for the option. Take the domain back in your own name and the option stops: you then pay the extension price only. Every extension price is on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). ## Which extensions can be registered in our name? Every extension we sell where a company registered in Panama can be the registrant, with no residency rule: all of them except .name, which is meant for personal names, plus 12 sold registered in our name only (.de, .uk, .nl, .cc, .to, .ch, .pl, .be, .at, .cz, .nz, .fi), whose registry needs more than an email. Prices are the extension prices before the +$90 option, except the extensions marked “In our name only”, shown with the option included. | Extension | 1st year | Renewal | Transfer | WHOIS privacy | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | | .net | $12.19 | $12.19 | $12.19 | Free | | .org | $8.79 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | | .io | $32.99 | $50.49 | $50.49 | Free | | .ai | $81.99 | $81.99 | $81.99 | Free | | .co | $30.69 | $30.69 | $30.69 | Free | | .app | $8.49 | $14.49 | $14.49 | Free | | .dev | $8.49 | $12.49 | $12.49 | Free | | .xyz | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | | .info | $19.99 | $19.99 | $19.99 | Free | | .me | $17.49 | $17.49 | $17.49 | Free | | .online | $27.99 | $29.99 | $29.99 | Free | | .shop | $29.49 | $31.99 | $31.99 | Free | | .store | $49.99 | $52.99 | $52.99 | Free | | .site | $26.99 | $28.99 | $28.99 | Free | | .tech | $45.99 | $49.99 | $49.99 | Free | | .cloud | $19.99 | $21.99 | $21.99 | Free | | .vip | $13.49 | $14.99 | $14.99 | Free | | .club | $16.99 | $17.99 | $17.99 | Free | | .live | $26.99 | $28.49 | $28.49 | Free | | .pro | $18.99 | $19.99 | $19.99 | Free | | .blog | $24.99 | $26.99 | $26.99 | Free | | .art | $16.49 | $17.49 | $17.49 | Free | | .design | $44.99 | $47.99 | $47.99 | Free | | .agency | $21.49 | $22.99 | $22.99 | Free | | .studio | $26.49 | $27.99 | $27.99 | Free | | .digital | $31.99 | $33.49 | $33.49 | Free | | .world | $31.49 | $32.99 | $32.99 | Free | | .life | $30.99 | $32.49 | $32.49 | Free | | .space | $22.99 | $24.49 | $24.49 | Free | | .website | $22.49 | $23.99 | $23.99 | Free | | .fun | $27.49 | $28.99 | $28.99 | Free | | .page | $11.49 | $12.99 | $12.99 | Free | | .link | $10.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | | .network | $26.49 | $27.99 | $27.99 | Free | | .email | $24.99 | $26.49 | $26.49 | Free | | .media | $33.49 | $34.49 | $34.49 | Free | | .news | $27.99 | $29.49 | $29.49 | Free | | .software | $32.99 | $34.49 | $34.49 | Free | | .biz | $18.49 | $19.99 | $19.99 | Free | | .tv | $35.99 | $38.99 | $38.99 | Free | | .gg | $79.99 | $79.99 | $79.99 | Free | | .de (In our name only) | $97.49 | $97.49 | $97.49 | Our details, not yours | | .uk (In our name only) | $98.99 | $98.99 | $98.99 | Our details, not yours | | .nl (In our name only) | $98.49 | $98.49 | $98.49 | Our details, not yours | | .ch (In our name only) | $101.99 | $101.99 | $101.99 | Our details, not yours | | .pl (In our name only) | $103.49 | $103.49 | $103.49 | Our details, not yours | | .be (In our name only) | $99.49 | $99.49 | $99.49 | Our details, not yours | | .at (In our name only) | $104.99 | $104.99 | $104.99 | Our details, not yours | | .cz (In our name only) | $103.99 | $103.99 | $103.99 | Our details, not yours | | .to (In our name only) | $144.99 | $144.99 | $144.99 | Our details, not yours | | .cc (In our name only) | $102.49 | $103.99 | $103.99 | Our details, not yours | | .fi (In our name only) | $106.99 | $106.99 | $106.99 | Our details, not yours | | .nz (In our name only) | $109.99 | $109.99 | $109.99 | Our details, not yours | *54 extensions · prices per year in USD* **In our name only**: sold only registered in our name (proxy registration), so the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you.

It is a registration where the registrar's company is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner. At BuyDomainsCrypto, DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record, so the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. You keep full control of the domain and can take it back in your name any time, free. The option costs +$90 a year per domain. ### Who legally owns a domain registered in your name? DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record, and you are the beneficial owner. Our Terms of Service commit us in writing to give you full control of the domain, a free transfer code at any time, and the domain in your own name on request, free. The domain is yours to use, move or take back; we only hold the registration for you. ### Can I take the domain back in my own name? Yes, any time, free. Ask from the client area or by email, and the domain is put in your name as a standard registration, with free WHOIS privacy. From then on you pay the extension price only, without the +$90 option. You can also move the domain to another registrar with its free transfer (EPP) code. For an extension sold registered in our name only, such as .de or .uk, moving it out is the way to hold it in your own name. ### Does the registry know who I am? No. With Registered in our name, the registry receives DomaineGoat LLC's details only. We send it nothing about you. On our side we keep one email per domain, verified as ICANN requires and never published, to reach you. One email, nothing else: we never ask for your name, address, phone or ID. ### Does Registered in our name protect my domain from suspension? No. It gives you anonymity towards the registry, not immunity. Our policy is the same for every domain: no takedown on a complaint alone, which needs a decision from a Panamanian court, and data only on a Panamanian court order, except urgent ICANN requests. Phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension. ### What happens if someone files a UDRP complaint? A UDRP complaint is made against the registrant of record, so against DomaineGoat LLC. We tell you, the beneficial owner, so that you can defend the domain with the dispute provider. The panel's decision is then applied, as ICANN requires of every registrar. The domain is locked within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider while the case runs. ### How much does it cost and how do I pay? +$90 a year per domain, on top of the extension price. A .com therefore costs $11.49/year plus $90 a year for the option. You pay from your prepaid crypto balance (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC), topped up from $25. No card and no KYC. ### Is BuyDomainsCrypto a Njalla alternative? Yes, for people who want the same model with stablecoins. Like Njalla, we can be the registrant of record. As of 8 October 2026, Njalla is cheaper for a .com and accepts Monero, which we do not. We accept USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL and LTC, and our Terms give you the domain back in your name on request, free. **Search a domain, then choose who appears in the registry** One email, nothing else. Standard registration with free WHOIS privacy, or Registered in our name for +$90 a year. [Search a domain](https://buydomainscrypto.com/app/domains/?lang=en) ## Sources 1.

No KYC, crypto only, prepaid balance. **Quick answer — What do the BuyDomainsCrypto Terms of Service say, in short?** **BuyDomainsCrypto**, a no-KYC domain registration service paid in crypto, registers domains on prepaid terms. You top up a balance in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC (minimum $25) and pay registrations, renewals and transfers from it. Unused balance never expires and is not refundable. Registry and ICANN rules apply to every domain, including email verification and the UDRP. No takedown on a complaint alone; phishing, malware, botnets, CSAM and fraud against victims lead to suspension without refund. ## The Terms at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Provider | BuyDomainsCrypto, operated by DomaineGoat LLC | | Service | Domain registration, renewal and transfer, DNS hosting, and WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it | | Registrar | Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules | | Identity checks | None: no ID, no selfie, no documents. A working registrant email, verified as ICANN requires | | Payment | Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Prepaid USD balance, minimum top-up $25 | | Balance | Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable | | Rate lock | 30 minutes per top-up | | Failed registration | if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance | | Renewals | automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain | | Transfer code | free, requested from the client area | | Rules that also apply | ICANN Registrants' Benefits and Responsibilities, the UDRP, the ICANN Transfer Policy and the policy of each registry | | Part of these Terms | [Acceptable Use Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/), [Privacy Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/privacy/), [Refunds and balance](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/) | | Support | support@buydomainscrypto.com | | Registered in our name | Optional, +$90/year: DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner (section 13) | ## 1. Who provides the service, and what do these Terms cover? These Terms of Service are a contract between you and DomaineGoat LLC, which operates BuyDomainsCrypto. "We" and "us" mean DomaineGoat LLC. "You" means the holder of a BuyDomainsCrypto account. The Terms cover the website buydomainscrypto.com and its client area. By creating an account, topping up your balance or ordering a domain, you accept these Terms. Three documents form part of them: - the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/); - the [Privacy Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/privacy/); - the [Refunds and balance policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/). You must be legally able to enter a contract where you live. If you act for a company, you confirm that you may bind it. ## 2. What does BuyDomainsCrypto provide? BuyDomainsCrypto is a domain registration service. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules. We provide: - **Search and registration** of domains in 55 extensions, listed on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). - **Renewals and transfers**, paid from your balance. - **DNS:** free DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records, or your own nameservers (2 to 13). - **Domain settings:** transfer lock, transfer (auth or EPP) code, auto-renew and WHOIS privacy, each switched on or off per domain. We do not provide web hosting, email hosting or a reseller API. A domain gives you the right to use a name for the registration period, under the rules of its registry and of ICANN. ## 3. How does my account work? Your account is identified by an account number. We collect one email per domain, nothing else. Keep your login details private: you are responsible for everything done with your account. We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat. If anyone asks for them in our name, it is not us. Forward the message to abuse@buydomainscrypto.com. Opening a new account to carry on after a suspension for abuse is a breach of these Terms. ## 4. What does no KYC mean in these Terms? We never ask for an ID document, a selfie, proof of address or company papers, at any spend level. This is part of these Terms. No KYC does not mean we hold nothing: we hold one email per domain, because ICANN rules require a verified contact for every domain, and the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). Nothing else is collected. A domain whose email is never confirmed can be suspended under ICANN rules. We enforce our rules through the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/) and our [abuse process](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/), not through identity documents. ## 5. How are prices set and charged? Prices are per year, in US dollars, and listed on the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) and in [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json). Each extension shows a first-year price, a renewal price and a transfer price. For example, a .com costs $11.49/year the first year and $11.49/year to renew. - **The price that applies** is the one shown when you place the order. A later change never applies to an order you have already paid. - **Renewals** are charged at the renewal price shown when the renewal is made. - **Registry price changes** can change our prices. For example, the .com registry fee rises on 1 November 2026. Every change to our prices is dated in the [changelog](https://buydomainscrypto.com/changelog/). - **Minimum terms** set by a registry apply. A .ai domain is sold 2 years at a time; a .co can be registered for 5 years at most. ## 6. How do the prepaid balance and crypto payments work? You pay from a prepaid balance in US dollars, topped up in crypto. **The minimum top-up is $25. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable.** One balance pays registrations, renewals and transfers. We accept crypto only, on the networks in the table below. A top-up is credited after the number of network confirmations shown. ### Accepted coins and networks | Coin | Network | Confirmations before credit | | --- | --- | --- | | BTC | Bitcoin | 2 | | USDT | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | | USDT | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | | USDC | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | | ETH | Ethereum | 12 | | SOL | Solana | 1 | | LTC | Litecoin | 6 | How a top-up works: - **Exact network.** Send the coin on the network shown on the payment page. Funds sent on another network, such as BNB Chain, Polygon or a layer-2 network, may be lost. - **Exact amount.** Send the amount shown, to the last decimal. It is how your payment is matched. - **Rate lock.** The exchange rate is locked for 30 minutes. If the time runs out before you send, start a new top-up. - **Network fee.** You pay the network fee of your own transaction. - **No reversal.** A crypto payment cannot be reversed by the sender. Check the coin, the network, the address and the amount before you send. We do not accept Monero, Bitcoin Lightning, cards, PayPal or bank transfers. Deposit addresses are shown only on the payment page of the client area, never by email. Payment problems: write to support with the coin, the network, the exact amount and the time, as set out in the [refunds policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/). ## 7. How does registration work? Domains are registered on a first-come, first-served basis. Until the registry confirms the registration, someone else can register the same name. - **Availability.** The search checks availability live through the registry's RDAP service. For some extensions, such as .io, .co and .me, availability is confirmed at order. - **Order status.** An order moves from *Awaiting payment* to *Verifying* (payment checked on the blockchain), then *Processing* (registration) and *Active*. - **Timing.** Registration happens usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. - **Failed registration.** Failed orders are covered: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. A registry can refuse a name, or delete it later, if its own rules are not met. ## 8. Which registry and ICANN rules apply to my domain? Every domain is subject to the rules of its registry and, for generic extensions, of ICANN. By registering a domain, you accept: - **ICANN's Registrants' Benefits and Responsibilities**, which summarise your rights and duties as a registrant. - **The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP)**, under which a trademark owner can claim a domain registered and used in bad faith. - **The ICANN Transfer Policy**, which governs transfers between registrars and changes of registrant. - **ICANN's Registration Data Policy**, which sets what registration data is collected and what is published. - **The policy of each registry**, which can add rules. For example, .ai is sold 2 years at a time, and .app, .dev and .page require HTTPS. We do not sell extensions whose registry requires more than an email. The rules of each extension are on its [extension page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/). Where these rules conflict with our Terms, the registry and ICANN rules prevail. ## 9. What are my obligations as a registrant? You must: - give a working email for each domain, keep it up to date and confirm it when asked; - follow the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/acceptable-use/) and the law that applies to you; - not register a name that infringes the rights of others, such as a trademark, in bad faith. You are responsible for the content and services you run on your domains. A domain whose email is fake or never confirmed can be suspended under ICANN rules. ## 10. How do renewals and expiry work? Renewals are paid from your balance: automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. If auto-renew is on and your balance covers the renewal price, the domain is renewed before it expires. If the balance is too low, the domain is not renewed. Keep enough balance, or renew by hand before the expiry date. After expiry, the time during which a domain can still be renewed or restored, and its cost, depend on the registry. Contact support at once if a domain has expired. A domain that is deleted by the registry can be registered by anyone. ## 11. How do transfers work? **Transfer in.** To move a domain to us, order the transfer and enter its auth (EPP) code in the client area. The transfer price is paid from your balance. The current registrar and the registry must release the domain. **Transfer out.** To leave, turn the transfer lock off and request the transfer code: free, requested from the client area. Then start the transfer at the new registrar. The ICANN Transfer Policy and the registry's rules apply to both. They set periods during which a transfer is not possible, for example soon after a registration or a previous transfer. A domain under a UDRP proceeding is locked and cannot be transferred. Guide: [transfer a domain and pay in crypto](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/transfer-domain-pay-with-crypto/). ## 12. What does WHOIS privacy cover? WHOIS privacy is free on every extension we sell. It hides your email from public WHOIS and RDAP results. - Extensions where the registry keeps or publishes the holder's name and address are sold registered in our name only (section 13); extensions where privacy is forbidden are not sold. - Privacy does **not** hide your data from the registrar, the registry or ICANN. In a UDRP case, the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider. Otherwise, your data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer. You can switch privacy on or off per domain. Details: [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/) and our [Privacy Policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/privacy/). ## 13. What does “Registered in our name” mean? Registered in our name is an optional proxy registration, at +$90 a year per domain, on top of the extension price. - **Registrant of record.** DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record. The registry and WHOIS/RDAP show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. We send the registry no data about you. - **Beneficial owner.** You are the beneficial owner of the domain. We commit to: - give you full control of the domain: DNS records, nameservers, renewals and redirections; - give you the transfer (EPP) code, free, at any time, to move the domain to another registrar; - put the domain in your own name on simple request, free of charge. The domain then becomes a standard registration and the option stops. For an extension sold registered in our name only, we cannot register it in your name, because its registry needs more than one email: we give you the transfer code, free, so that you can move it to a registrar that collects those details. - **What we keep.** One email per domain, verified and never published, to reach you. - **Same rules.** Our policy is the same for every domain: no takedown on a complaint alone, data only on a Panamanian court order except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer, and suspension for phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims. This option does not change it. - **UDRP.** A trademark complaint is made against the registrant of record, DomaineGoat LLC. We tell you so that you can defend the domain, and we apply the panel's decision. - **Extensions.** Only extensions where a company registered in Panama can be the registrant, listed on the [Registered in our name page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/registered-in-our-name/). ## 14. How are DNS and domain changes applied? You request changes in the client area. Our team applies each change and gives it a reference number. You can change: - nameservers: ours, or 2 to 13 of your own; - DNS records: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA; - the transfer lock and the transfer code; - auto-renew and WHOIS privacy. You are responsible for the records you set. A wrong record can take your website or email offline. Keep the reference number when you write to support about a change. ## 15. When can a domain or an account be suspended? We can suspend a domain, lock it or close an account when: - the domain is used for **phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material, or fraud that takes money from victims** (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand): these strict exceptions are acted on with a well-documented report, without waiting for a court; - the registrant email is not confirmed as ICANN rules require; - registrant data is knowingly false; - a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama), a UDRP decision, a registry or ICANN requires it. **No takedown on a complaint alone.** A complaint about copyright, defamation, politics, or one from a competitor, does not suspend a domain: a decision from a Panamanian court is needed, and foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP. We act on phishing, malware, botnets and fraud against victims within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Child sexual abuse material is handled immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. A suspension for abuse carries no refund. Our process is on the [abuse page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). ## 16. What is the refund policy? Registered, renewed and transferred domains are not refundable, because the registry fee is paid at once. Failed orders are covered: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. Unused balance never expires and is not refundable. Full rules: [refunds and balance](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/). ## 17. What is BuyDomainsCrypto liable for? We provide the service with reasonable care, but some events are outside our control. We are not liable for: - outages or decisions of a registry, ICANN or a third-party network; - a name registered by someone else before your order completes; - funds sent on the wrong network, to a wrong address or in a wrong amount; - losses caused by DNS records or nameservers you set; - a domain lost because it was not renewed in time; - losses caused by someone using your login details. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the domain or service concerned. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. ## 18. Can these Terms change? Yes. When we change these Terms, the new version shows its update date at the top of this page. The change is also listed in the [changelog](https://buydomainscrypto.com/changelog/). The new version applies from that date. Orders already paid keep their price. If you do not accept a change, you can transfer your domains out with their transfer code. ## 19. How do I contact BuyDomainsCrypto? Support: support@buydomainscrypto.com. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with DNS, transfers and renewals. Abuse reports and court orders: abuse@buydomainscrypto.com.

Start from who will type the name, then check the renewal price and the rules. - **Generic (.com, .net, .org)**: .com is still the default for a business or a product used worldwide. A .com costs $11.49 the first year and $11.49 to renew. - **Tech (.io, .ai, .dev, .app, .xyz)**: short names are easier to find. .io costs $32.99 the first year, then $50.49; .ai is sold 2 years at a time; .app and .dev require HTTPS in browsers. - **Country codes open to all (.io, .co, .me, .tv, .gg)**: short and memorable, with no residency rule. - **Lifestyle and business (.shop, .store, .studio, .agency…)**: descriptive names, usually with a higher price per year. For Web3 and crypto projects, see [domains for Web3 startups](https://buydomainscrypto.com/web3-startup-domains/). ## Why does the renewal price matter more than the first year? Because you pay it every year after the first. A cheap first year followed by a high renewal costs more over 3 to 5 years. - Same price both years: .com $11.49, .net $12.19, .co $30.69, .xyz $11.49. - Lower first year: .org $8.79 then $11.49, .app $8.49 then $14.49. The [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/) gives the 5-year formula for each common extension. ## Which extensions have registration rules? Most extensions we sell are open to anyone. A few set technical rules that we state on their page: - **.ai**: 2-year minimum. **.co**: 5 years maximum. **.app, .dev and .page**: HTTPS required. - **.io**: no registrant rule, but a long-term question over Chagos sovereignty. The UK–Mauritius treaty was frozen in 2026. Read [is .io safe in 2026?](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/is-io-safe-2026/). Extensions whose registry requires more than an email are sold registered in our name only when our company can be the holder (.de, .uk, .nl, .cc, .to, .ch, .pl, .be, .at, .cz, .nz, .fi), and not sold when it cannot: residency, nexus or an ID number. Both are listed, each with the reason.

The price shown includes the $90/year for it. ## Domain extensions: FAQ ### How many domain extensions does BuyDomainsCrypto sell? 55 extensions, each with its own page. They include generic ones (.com, .net, .org), tech ones (.io, .ai, .app, .dev) and newer ones (.shop, .online). 12 of them, such as .de and .uk, are sold registered in our name only; .us, .eu and a few others are not sold. All are paid in crypto from one balance, with no KYC. Prices are per year, in US dollars. ### Can I register a country extension from abroad? Yes, for every country extension we sell: .io, .co, .me, .tv and .gg are open worldwide. Country extensions that need the holder's name and address, such as .de, .uk or .ch, are sold registered in our name only. Those that require residency or an ID number, such as .us, .ca, .eu or .fr, are not sold: each has a page that explains why. ### Which extensions include free WHOIS privacy? Every extension sold in your name: .com, .net, .org, .io, .ai, .co, .xyz and the others in the table. Extensions sold registered in our name only show our company, never you. Details on [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/). ### Can I buy an extension that is not in the list? Not at the moment. BuyDomainsCrypto sells the 55 extensions on this page, at the prices shown. Extensions with identity checks at the registry, such as .dk, .cn, .ru and .in, are not sold. To ask about another extension, write to support@buydomainscrypto.com. ### Is a .io domain safe to buy in 2026? .io works normally in 2026. Its long-term status is tied to the Chagos Islands: the UK–Mauritius treaty on their sovereignty was frozen in 2026, per DomainIncite. A .io costs $32.99 the first year and $50.49 to renew. Read [is .io safe in 2026?](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/is-io-safe-2026/) before you buy. **Find a name in any extension** Search once, compare the extensions, pay in crypto with no KYC.

Pay from a USDC or USDT treasury, no KYC. - URL: https://buydomainscrypto.com/web3-startup-domains/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: BuyDomainsCrypto (https://buydomainscrypto.com) Pick the right extension for a crypto or Web3 project, pay for it from the treasury in stablecoins, and avoid the traps: HTTPS-only extensions, 2-year minimums and the .io question. **Quick answer — What is the best domain for a Web3 or crypto startup?** For a Web3 or crypto startup, the usual choices are .io, .xyz, .ai, .app, .dev, .co and .tech, plus the .com of the name when it is free. **BuyDomainsCrypto** sells all of them, paid in crypto from your treasury (USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL or LTC) with no KYC. A .xyz costs $11.49/year and a .io $32.99/year the first year. ## Startup extensions: prices per year Prices in US dollars at BuyDomainsCrypto, paid in crypto.

Choose the one your users will type and trust, then protect the rest. A simple rule set: 1. **Get the .com if it is free** ($11.49/year). People type it by habit and guess email addresses on it. 2. **Pick one main extension** for the product: .io or .xyz for protocols, .ai for AI agents, .app for wallets and apps, .dev for docs and SDKs. 3. **Register the obvious variants** that phishers would try, such as the name with a hyphen or with "app" or "wallet" added. Keep every name on auto-renew from one balance. A lapsed domain of a crypto project can be taken over and used to phish its users. ## Why do .app and .dev require HTTPS? Because the whole extension is on the HSTS preload list built into major browsers. A browser opens a .app or .dev site only over HTTPS, never over plain HTTP. Set up a TLS certificate before you point the domain to a server, for example a free one from Let's Encrypt. Our DNS supports CAA records, so you can choose which certificate authorities may issue certificates for your name. The .page extension has the same HTTPS rule. At BuyDomainsCrypto, .app costs $8.49/year the first year and $14.49/year to renew; .dev costs $8.49/year, then $12.49/year. ## Is .io still safe for a Web3 project? Yes, for now. As of October 2026 .io works normally, and the UK–Mauritius treaty on the Chagos Islands, the territory behind .io, was put on hold in 2026. If the country code were ever retired, the process would give years of transition. Keep the .io you have built on, also hold the .com of the name, and keep auto-renew on. The full answer, with precedents, is in [is .io safe in 2026](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/is-io-safe-2026/). Our .io costs $32.99/year, then $50.49/year. ## Why does a .ai name cost two years upfront? Because the .ai registry sets a 2-year minimum for registrations and renewals. At BuyDomainsCrypto, .ai costs $81.99/year, so the first payment is 2 × $81.99. For an AI agent or model, the name often is the product, and the price is worth it. For a short experiment, a .xyz or .dev costs much less in year one. Details in [why .ai needs a 2-year minimum](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/ai-domain-2-year-minimum/). ## DNS domains or Web3 names: what is the difference? A DNS domain such as yourproject.io works in every browser, email server and app. A Web3 name lives on a blockchain and needs extra software to resolve. - **DNS domains** (.com, .io, .xyz and the rest) are registered through a registrar, listed in the global DNS and reachable everywhere. - **Web3 names**, such as those sold by Unstoppable Domains, are not part of the internet's DNS. A normal browser does not open them without an add-on. - **For a public site, docs or email**, you need a DNS domain. A Web3 name can sit next to it, for example as a wallet label. BuyDomainsCrypto sells DNS domains only, in 55 extensions. ## How do we pay for domains from a crypto treasury? Top up the balance from the treasury wallet in stablecoins, then register names from it when you need them. - **USDC:** on Ethereum (ERC-20) only, 12 confirmations. - **USDT:** on Tron (TRC-20), 20 confirmations, or on Ethereum (ERC-20), 12 confirmations. - **Not accepted:** stablecoins on Solana, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Base or other layer 2s. - **Multisig wallets:** the exchange rate is locked for 30 minutes once the payment page is open. Have the signers ready before you open it, or top up in advance. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. No ID and no company documents are asked: only a verified email. Coin details on [USDC](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdc/) and [USDT TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/). ## Set up your startup's domains in five steps 1. **Search the name** — Check the name in the domain search. .io and .co availability is confirmed when you order. 2. **Add the main name and its variants** — Put the product name, the .com and the obvious look-alike variants in one cart. 3. **Top up from the treasury** — Send USDC or USDT on the network shown, for at least $25. One payment covers the cart. 4. **Point the DNS** — Use our DNS (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, CAA) or your own nameservers, 2 to 13. Add a certificate before you launch on .app or .dev. 5. **Protect the names** — Keep the transfer lock on, turn on auto-renew and WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it. ## Domains for Web3 startups: FAQ ### What is the best domain extension for a crypto project? It depends on the product. .io and .xyz are common for protocols and Web3 projects. .ai suits AI agents, .app wallets and apps, .dev documentation and SDKs. Hold the .com of the name too if it is free. At BuyDomainsCrypto, .xyz costs $11.49/year and .io $32.99/year the first year. ### Can we pay for domains from a DAO or company treasury? Yes. A payment is a normal on-chain transfer. Send USDC (Ethereum, ERC-20) or USDT (Tron TRC-20 or Ethereum ERC-20) to the address on the payment page, for the exact amount shown. The rate is locked for 30 minutes, so prepare multisig signers in advance, or top up the balance first. ### Do you need company documents or KYC? No. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private. ICANN rules require the registrant email to be verified after registration. Extensions with eligibility rules, such as .us or .eu, are not sold. The startup extensions on this page (.io, .xyz, .ai, .app, .dev, .co, .tech) have none. ### Do you sell Web3 or blockchain names? No. BuyDomainsCrypto sells regular DNS domains only, in 55 extensions, which work in every browser and email server. Web3 names, such as those sold by Unstoppable Domains, are not part of the DNS and do not open in a normal browser without an add-on. ### Do .app and .dev domains work without HTTPS? No. Both extensions are on the HSTS preload list of major browsers, so browsers load them over HTTPS only. Install a TLS certificate before you point the domain to your server. Our DNS supports CAA records to limit which authorities may issue certificates for your name. ### Is .xyz a good choice for a Web3 project? It is common for Web3 and side projects. At BuyDomainsCrypto, .xyz costs $11.49/year, with the same price to renew. Some registrars sell the first year for about $2 and renew higher: $14.21 at Porkbun and $14.45 at Dynadot, as of 8 October 2026, per their pricing pages. ### How do we protect our users from phishing domains? Register the obvious variants of your name before someone else does, keep every domain on auto-renew, and keep the transfer lock on. Set CAA records so only your chosen certificate authorities can issue certificates. To report a look-alike domain, contact the abuse desk of the registrar that holds it. Ours is abuse@buydomainscrypto.com. ### Can the owner details of our domains stay private? Yes. WHOIS privacy is free at BuyDomainsCrypto on every extension whose registry allows it, which includes .io, .xyz, .ai, .app, .dev, .co and .tech. Only a verified email is required. Registrant data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer. ## Sources 1.

It keeps your contact data out of public domain lookups. At BuyDomainsCrypto that is simple: we collect one email per domain, nothing else. Two changes shape how this works today: - **RDAP replaced WHOIS for gTLDs.** Since 28 January 2025, gTLD registries and registrars no longer have to run the old WHOIS service. RDAP is now the reference. Anyone can look up a domain at lookup.icann.org. - **Personal data is redacted by default.** ICANN's Registration Data Policy has applied since 21 August 2025. It keeps the personal data of registrants out of public lookups. WHOIS privacy goes one step further. Where the registry allows it, the remaining public contact fields show privacy-service data instead of yours. Turn it on or off for each domain in My domains. ## Which extensions allow WHOIS privacy? Among the extensions we sell, the answer is always the same: - **Free privacy**: .com, .net, .org, .io, .ai, .co, .xyz, .app, .dev and every other extension in the table. Extensions where the registry keeps or publishes the holder's name and address (.de, .uk, .nl, .cc, .to, .ch, .pl, .be, .at, .cz, .nz, .fi) are sold registered in our name only: the registry and WHOIS show our company, never you. Extensions where privacy is forbidden or residency, nexus or an ID number is required (.us, .es, .eu, .fr, .it, .ca, .se) are not sold: our rule is one email per domain, nothing else. The WHOIS privacy column below shows the rule for each extension, with its first-year price. ## WHOIS privacy by extension | Extension | 1st year | Renewal | WHOIS privacy | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | .com | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | | .net | $12.19 | $12.19 | Free | | .org | $8.79 | $11.49 | Free | | .io | $32.99 | $50.49 | Free | | .ai | $81.99 | $81.99 | Free | | .co | $30.69 | $30.69 | Free | | .app | $8.49 | $14.49 | Free | | .dev | $8.49 | $12.49 | Free | | .xyz | $11.49 | $11.49 | Free | | .info | $19.99 | $19.99 | Free | | .me | $17.49 | $17.49 | Free | | .de (In our name only) | $97.49 | $97.49 | Our details, not yours | | .uk (In our name only) | $98.99 | $98.99 | Our details, not yours | | .online | $27.99 | $29.99 | Free | | .shop | $29.49 | $31.99 | Free | | .store | $49.99 | $52.99 | Free | | .site | $26.99 | $28.99 | Free | | .tech | $45.99 | $49.99 | Free | | .nl (In our name only) | $98.49 | $98.49 | Our details, not yours | | .biz | $18.49 | $19.99 | Free | | .tv | $35.99 | $38.99 | Free | | .cc (In our name only) | $102.49 | $103.99 | Our details, not yours | | .gg | $79.99 | $79.99 | Free | | .to (In our name only) | $144.99 | $144.99 | Our details, not yours | | .ch (In our name only) | $101.99 | $101.99 | Our details, not yours | | .pl (In our name only) | $103.49 | $103.49 | Our details, not yours | | .be (In our name only) | $99.49 | $99.49 | Our details, not yours | | .at (In our name only) | $104.99 | $104.99 | Our details, not yours | | .cloud | $19.99 | $21.99 | Free | | .vip | $13.49 | $14.99 | Free | | .club | $16.99 | $17.99 | Free | | .live | $26.99 | $28.49 | Free | | .pro | $18.99 | $19.99 | Free | | .blog | $24.99 | $26.99 | Free | | .art | $16.49 | $17.49 | Free | | .design | $44.99 | $47.99 | Free | | .agency | $21.49 | $22.99 | Free | | .studio | $26.49 | $27.99 | Free | | .digital | $31.99 | $33.49 | Free | | .world | $31.49 | $32.99 | Free | | .life | $30.99 | $32.49 | Free | | .space | $22.99 | $24.49 | Free | | .website | $22.49 | $23.99 | Free | | .fun | $27.49 | $28.99 | Free | | .page | $11.49 | $12.99 | Free | | .link | $10.49 | $11.49 | Free | | .network | $26.49 | $27.99 | Free | | .email | $24.99 | $26.49 | Free | | .media | $33.49 | $34.49 | Free | | .news | $27.99 | $29.49 | Free | | .software | $32.99 | $34.49 | Free | | .cz (In our name only) | $103.99 | $103.99 | Our details, not yours | | .nz (In our name only) | $109.99 | $109.99 | Our details, not yours | | .fi (In our name only) | $106.99 | $106.99 | Our details, not yours | | .name | $11.49 | $11.99 | Free | *55 extensions · prices per year in USD* *Free* = privacy included at no cost. Prices in US dollars per year: [full price list](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/). **[In our name only](https://buydomainscrypto.com/registered-in-our-name/)**: sold only registered in our name (proxy registration), so the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you. The price shown includes the $90/year for it. ## What does WHOIS privacy not do? It hides your data from the public, not from the law. Privacy does not stop: - **A Panamanian court order.** That is the only way your registrant data goes out, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer: an imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, or child exploitation. A foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government must use Panamanian legal process. - **UDRP disputes.** The domain is locked within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider, and the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider, as the UDRP requires. - **The strict exceptions.** Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Child sexual abuse material leads to suspension immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority. Other complaints need a Panamanian court decision. - **ICANN checks.** Privacy does not skip the email check: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). This is what makes privacy legitimate. A registrar that promises to ignore real abuse is not offering privacy: see the [abuse page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/abuse/). ## Can I hide my domain from the registry too? Yes, with the premium option [Registered in our name](https://buydomainscrypto.com/registered-in-our-name/), at +$90 a year per domain. WHOIS privacy hides your email from the public, but you remain the registrant and the registry keeps your record. With Registered in our name, DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record: the registry and WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, never you, and the registry receives nothing about you. You stay the beneficial owner, with full control, a free transfer code and the right to take the domain back in your name any time, free. We still keep one email, nothing else. Our policy does not change: it is anonymity towards the registry, not immunity. ## Do I need to give an organisation name? No. We collect one email per domain, nothing else, so there is no Organization field to fill in. Under ICANN's Registration Data Policy, when an organisation name is given, that organisation becomes the registrant: the legal holder of the domain. Since we never ask for it, the registrant is you, identified by your email, unless you choose [Registered in our name](https://buydomainscrypto.com/registered-in-our-name/), where DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record. ## How do I check what is public for my domain? Look the domain up at lookup.icann.org, ICANN's RDAP tool for gTLDs. It shows exactly what the public sees. Country extensions have their own lookup services. If something shows that should not, check the WHOIS privacy switch in My domains, then write to support@buydomainscrypto.com. Our [privacy policy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/privacy/) explains what we store and why. ## WHOIS privacy: FAQ ### Does WHOIS privacy cost extra at BuyDomainsCrypto? No. WHOIS privacy is free on every extension we sell, every year, renewals included. A .com costs $11.49/year with privacy. Extensions whose registry forbids privacy, such as .us and .es, are not sold. ### Why doesn't BuyDomainsCrypto sell .us domains? Because the .us registry policy bans privacy and proxy registrations: every .us holder's contact data is public, at every registrar. A .us also needs a US link (nexus). Both go beyond our rule of one email per domain, nothing else. The [.us page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/us/) explains it, and a .com is the usual alternative. ### Can law enforcement see my data with WHOIS privacy on? Only through a court. Your registrant data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, except urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer. A foreign government, a lawyer or a private company must use Panamanian legal process. In a UDRP case, the details are confirmed to the dispute provider, as ICANN requires. ### Is WHOIS still used in 2026? For gTLDs, RDAP replaced it. Since 28 January 2025, gTLD registries and registrars no longer have to run the old WHOIS service, and RDAP is the reference. People still say "WHOIS" for any domain lookup. Some country extensions keep their own WHOIS service. Look up gTLDs at lookup.icann.org. ### Does WHOIS privacy hide my email from the registrar? No. The registrar must hold a working registrant email: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). Privacy keeps that email out of public lookups. BuyDomainsCrypto asks for nothing else: no ID, no selfie, no documents. Keep that email working, because it is the contact for your domains. See [no-KYC domains](https://buydomainscrypto.com/no-kyc-domains/). ### What happens to privacy in a UDRP dispute? The domain is locked and the registrant data goes to the UDRP provider. BuyDomainsCrypto locks the domain within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider, as the UDRP rules require. The panel then decides, and its decision is applied. Privacy does not shield a domain from a trademark dispute. ## Sources 1.
