Offshore domain pricing, per year, paid in crypto

How do I read the price table?

Each row is one extension, and each price is for one year.

• 1st year: what a new registration costs for its first year.
• Renewal: what each later year costs. Over the life of a domain, this is the price that adds up.
• Transfer: what it costs to bring a domain here from another registrar. It equals the renewal price; a .ai transfer is billed 2 years, the transfer price plus one renewal.
• WHOIS privacy: whether your email, the only contact data we collect, stays out of the public WHOIS and RDAP record, and what that costs.
• Restrictions: rules set by the registry, such as a 2-year minimum for .ai or HTTPS for .app and .dev.

Why should I look at the renewal price first?

Because you pay the renewal every year after the first one. Some registries set a low first-year price and a higher renewal, and our grid shows both.

• .io: $34.49/year the first year, then $52.99/year.
• .org: $9.49/year the first year, then $11.99/year.
• .app: $8.99/year the first year, then $15.49/year.
• .dev: $8.99/year the first year, then $12.99/year.

On .com, .net, .co and .xyz the two prices are the same. Before you choose a name for the long term, look at the renewal column first.

How does the .com price compare with its wholesale cost?

Our .com price of $11.99/year sits a little above the wholesale floor. On 19 October 2026, Verisign charges registrars $10.26 for a .com year, and ICANN adds a $0.20 fee: $10.46 in total.

Verisign raises its fee to $10.97 on 1 November 2026, as its results release of 23 April 2026 announced, which puts the floor at $11.17. The new price applies to future periods: a year you have already paid does not change. Every registrar pays this same amount for each .com year.

We do not claim to be the cheapest registrar. As of 19 October 2026, Porkbun sells a .com at $11.08, and Cloudflare Registrar sells it at cost, $10.46. Both are companies in the United States. Cloudflare documents no crypto payment, and Porkbun runs ID checks on part of its new accounts. The offshore price index 2026 compares 10 registrars on .com, .io and .ai.

What does Domain protection add to the price?

Domain protection adds $29 per year and per domain, on top of the domain price. With it, the registrant record and the public WHOIS show DomaineGoat LLC, not you.

• .com with Domain protection: $11.99/year for the domain, plus $29 for the option.
• .io with Domain protection: $34.49/year the first year, plus $29.
• .de is sold with Domain protection only: $36.99/year in total, of which $7.99 is the domain itself.
• .uk is sold the same way: $38.49/year in total, of which $9.49 is the domain.

You can add the option when you order or later from your account. The four protections are explained on the Domain protection page.

How is a domain transfer priced?

A transfer costs the renewal price of the extension, and it moves the domain under our management. On gTLDs such as .com, .net and .org, a completed transfer also adds one year to the expiry date. A .ai transfer is billed 2 years: the transfer price plus one renewal, $170.98, and the .ai registry adds 2 years to the expiry date.

With Domain protection ticked on the transfer order, $29 covers the year the transfer adds, and the time already paid at your current registrar is billed pro rata ($29 a year) from your balance once the transfer is done.

You need the transfer (EPP) code from your current registrar. ICANN's Transfer Policy blocks a transfer for 60 days after a gTLD domain is registered or transferred. Leaving us is free as well: the transfer code is free, requested from the client area, and there is no exit fee. The steps are on how it works.

Are there any fees outside the table?

No. There is no setup fee, no account fee and no fee to leave. The table price covers the registration year, and these come with every domain:

• WHOIS privacy, free where the registry allows it.
• DNS: we include 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.

Your wallet pays the blockchain network fee when you send a top-up, as with any crypto payment. A failed order costs you nothing: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance.
