Where does OrangeWebsite win?
OrangeWebsite wins in two cases.
- Monero. CoinPayments, one of its two processors, takes XMR. We do not accept Monero.
- Hosting in the same place. OrangeWebsite is first a web host in Iceland. If you want your server and your domain at one provider, it does both. We sell domains and DNS only.
Some people also prefer Iceland as a country. That is a fair reason, and this page will not argue with it.
Where does Isthmus Domains win?
Isthmus Domains wins on price, on stablecoins and on written rules.
- Price. Lower on each of the six extensions compared.
- Stablecoins in dollars. You can pay in USDT or USDC, so a dollar price stays a dollar price. OrangeWebsite routes crypto through BitPay or CoinPayments, which have their own terms.
- Published process. A complaint about copyright, defamation, politics or from a competitor needs a decision from a Panamanian court. Phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims are suspended within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Read complaints and court orders.
Iceland or Panama: what is the difference for a domain?
The difference is which courts a complaint or a data request must go through. For OrangeWebsite, we did not find a written disclosure rule on its own pages. For Isthmus Domains, we release the data we hold only when Panamanian law requires it (a Panamanian court or prosecutor's order), or in a UDRP case, and a foreign judgment has no effect on us until Panama's Supreme Court (Fourth Chamber) recognises it.
Neither country changes the registry rules or ICANN rules. The .com registry applies its own rules from the United States, and the UDRP applies to trademark disputes everywhere. This is not legal advice. Read why Panama.

Does OrangeWebsite ask for ID?
Its own crypto page says it only asks for a valid email. We did not find an ID rule for domain customers on its site. Isthmus Domains does not ask for an ID either: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days), and the email stays private.
