At Njalla, Njalla is the registrant. Its terms, as quoted by users, register the domain in Njalla's own name and give you the right to use it. The registrant record and the public RDAP record show Njalla, not you. At Isthmus Domains, you are the registrant by default, with WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it. If you prefer the Njalla model, add [Domain protection](https://isthmusdomains.com/domain-protection/) for +$29 a year. The registrant record then shows DomaineGoat LLC. You keep full control of DNS, nameservers and renewal, you get the transfer code for free, and we put the domain back in your own name on request, at no charge. ## Where does Njalla win? Njalla wins on two points, and they can decide the choice. - **Monero.** Njalla accepts XMR. We accept BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, but not Monero. - **The company-name model at one price.** Njalla's €15 for a .com already includes holding the domain in its name. At Isthmus Domains, the same model costs the .com price plus $29 a year. If that model is all you need for one .com, Njalla costs less. We also have no public transparency report yet, so you cannot yet check our record in figures. ## Where does Isthmus Domains win? Isthmus Domains wins on base price and on written rules. - **Price without the option.** A .com is $11.99/year against €15; a .io starts at $34.49 against €45. - **Ownership by default.** The domain is in your name unless you choose otherwise, which matters if you sell the domain or show it in due diligence. - **Published process.** A complaint about copyright, defamation, politics or from a competitor needs a decision from a Panamanian court, and a foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama. Details: [complaints and court orders](https://isthmusdomains.com/complaints-and-court-orders/). - **Stablecoins.** USDT and USDC let you pay a fixed dollar amount. ## Which reports about Njalla should you know before choosing? Three dated reports concern Njalla. We cite them as reports, not as findings of our own. - **Move to Costa Rica.** An independent blog wrote on 14 September 2025 that Njalla's company changed from 1337 Services LLC in Nevis to njalla.srl in Costa Rica between October and December 2024. - **.TV domains.** TorrentFreak reported that about 200 .TV domains were put on serverHold at Sarek Oy in February 2024. - **EU watch list.** TorrentFreak reported in May 2025 that the European Commission added Njalla to its Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List 2025. The .TV case shows a general rule: a registry can act on a domain directly, whatever the registrar's own policy. This is true at every registrar, including ours. ## How do I move a domain from Njalla to Isthmus Domains? Because Njalla is the registrant, start by asking Njalla how it releases a domain. The transfer price at Isthmus Domains equals the renewal price: $11.99 for a .com. 1. **Ask Njalla for the transfer code** — Ask Njalla's support for the transfer (EPP) code and whether the domain can move while it is in Njalla's name. 2. **Check the 60-day lock** — ICANN's Transfer Policy blocks a gTLD transfer for 60 days after a registration or a previous transfer. 3. **Top up in crypto** — Top up your balance from $25 with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Send the exact amount shown, on the right network. 4. **Start the transfer** — Enter the domain and its code in the client area. Add Domain protection if you want our company name in the registry. 5. **Confirm your email** — Then the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days). ## Njalla vs Isthmus Domains: FAQ ### Is Isthmus Domains a Njalla alternative?
