Who can register a .art domain?
Anyone can register a .art domain: there is no residency, citizenship or business rule. ICANN rules apply, as for every generic extension: a verified email address.
BuyDomainsCrypto adds no identity check of its own: no ID upload, no selfie, no KYC. Every order needs a working email address: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). The no-KYC page explains what we ask and what we never ask.
Is WHOIS privacy available on .art?
Yes. WHOIS privacy on .art at BuyDomainsCrypto: free. ICANN rules allow privacy services on .art. With privacy on, the public WHOIS/RDAP record shows the privacy service instead of your contact details. You switch it on or off for each domain in the client area.
Your email, the only data we collect, stays with the registrar and the registry. We only release the data we hold on a Panamanian court order or an urgent request that ICANN rules require registrars to answer; in a UDRP case, the details are confirmed to the dispute provider, as ICANN requires. The registry keeps its own record under its own rules. Details for every extension are on the WHOIS privacy page.
How much does a .art domain cost over 1, 2 and 5 years?
A .art domain costs $16.49 for the first year and $17.49 for each renewal year. Over several years the renewal price matters most. There is no promo code: the prices below are the ones you pay.
| Period | What you pay at BuyDomainsCrypto |

| 2 years | $16.49 + 1 renewal at $17.49 |

.art domains: FAQ
How much does a .art domain cost?
A .art domain costs $16.49 for the first year at BuyDomainsCrypto and $17.49 for each renewal year. A transfer from another registrar costs $17.49. WHOIS privacy: free. Prices are in US dollars and paid from a balance you top up in crypto. Every extension is on the pricing page.
Can I pay for a .art domain with Bitcoin or USDT?
Yes. Top up your balance with Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum, ETH, SOL or LTC. Then pay the .art domain 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. Monero, Lightning, BNB Chain and cards are not accepted.
Do I need an ID to register a .art domain?
No. BuyDomainsCrypto does not run KYC: no ID document, no selfie, no proof of address. You need a working email address: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). It is the only data we collect, and it is never published where privacy applies.
How fast is a .art domain registered?
Registration starts when your top-up is credited. That takes 2 confirmations for BTC, 20 for USDT on TRC-20, 12 for ERC-20 tokens and ETH, 1 for SOL and 6 for LTC. The domain is then active usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. Safety net: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance.
Can I transfer my .art domain to BuyDomainsCrypto?
Yes. A transfer costs $17.49 and adds one year to the expiry date, as ICANN transfer rules provide for generic extensions. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its auth (EPP) code and start the transfer from the client area. Leaving is free too: the transfer code is free, requested from the client area.
Can my .art domain renew automatically?
Yes: automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. Each renewal costs $17.49 per year and is paid from your balance, so keep enough funds on the account before the expiry date. You can top up at any time in any accepted coin, and unused balance never expires.
Who is the registrar of a .art domain bought here?
BuyDomainsCrypto is a domain registration service operated by DomaineGoat LLC. Every domain is registered through an ICANN-accredited registrar and follows ICANN rules.

Is .art only for professional artists?
No. .art is open to anyone, with no proof of artistic activity. Artists, galleries, museums, photographers and creative studios use it. It supports DNSSEC and accented (IDN) names. At BuyDomainsCrypto, a .art domain is paid in crypto, with no KYC.
