Domain names
One price to register, one to renew, and they are the same number
The renewal price is the same as the registration price. There is no first-year rate that doubles, and the transfer-out is free because holding a name hostage is not a business model.

What the extensions cost
Registration, renewal and transfer, in one table. Where the three are the same figure that is because they are the same figure.

The DNS, and what moving in involves
DNS hosting
- Cost
None, with or without a name registered here - Anycast
Yes, four locations - Record types
A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA, TLSA - API
Yes, and it is the same one the console uses - Zone import
Paste a zone file, it is parsed and shown before it is applied
Transferring in
- Unlock the name at your current registrar and get the authorisation code.
- Start the transfer here. The name keeps working throughout.
- Approve the email the registry sends to the registrant address.
- The remaining term is kept and a year is added, which is how the registry does it.
Questions we are asked
Do you charge to move a name away?
No. The authorisation code is in the console and nobody has to ask for it. A registrar that charges for this is charging you to leave.
Is WHOIS privacy extra?
No, and where the registry allows it the registrant details are redacted by default rather than on request.
Can I use my own nameservers?
Yes, on any name, and you can point a name here while hosting the site somewhere else entirely.
What happens if I forget to renew?
You are told four times before the expiry and twice after it, and the name sits in the registry grace period rather than being sold. Nothing is auctioned.

The renewal price is published and it does not change because you have been here a year.
