Bitcoin Forum

I would like to buy a domain using crypto. Can you tell me what are my options ?
Reputed Sites like Hostinger, Go Daddy, Name Cheap ask for a credit/debit card or paypal for payment as per my knowledge.

I do not have paypal and also do not want to use my debit card on online sites, so any chance of buying domain through bitcoin ?

Namecheap should accept bitcoin payments through both BitPay as well as BTCPayServer. It has been the case for a few years now, and I don't believe anything changed.

CoinGate also has a list of such services (probably contain the ones that uses their payment gateway): https://coingate.com/blog/post/buy-domains-with-crypto

Namecheap accepts topping up your account with crypto, just checked and I still have both funds and the option to load more there.
Namesilo is the same, and there are plenty of registrants accepting crypto, and there are dozens of them, Unstoppable Domains or porkbun being some of the favorites but I would not vouch for anyone other than namecheap since I haven't sued them.

Flokinet.is would be one of my top choices, they exist since 2012 so they are very reliable.
They are based in Iceland, and they are accepting bitcoin, monero and other cryptocurrencies for hosting and domains, while respecting user privacy and anonymity.
Njal.la is another option that exist since 2017 and they are based in Sweden.
There are more alternatives but I can't remember them now, maybe I will update this post later.

Among the domain-host provider companies you mentioned, I have only experienced with Hostinger and the experience was good. And it accepts Cryptocurrency payment I use Binance pay. My own current website hosting cryptolibrary.pro and domain taken from hostinger. I purchased single web host for 1 year and it cost around $35/$36. I like it cheaper.
If you want to take domain or host from here, you must use the coupon (refer) then you will get a percentage discount. If you want, you can visit my website, their hosting service is quite smooth.

Namesilo is certainly among the best choices.
Top up account by paying Bitcoin, directly without any gateway.
Also, whois is free, KYC is not mandatory, so you can be completely anonymous.

I've been using them for many years, a large number of domains, and I haven't had a single problem. Support was very correct. For example, the redemption period if your domain expires is 30 days, for the daddy domain, where if they like your domain, they will take it immediately after it expires.

Your best choice, like what others are recommending, is Namecheap they accept Cryptocurrency I've been paying for their service with Bitcoin ever since.

I've been with them for 7 years already, and they never failed my expectations, this is every developer home that deals with Cryptocurrency, with great support almost zero downtime a lot of promotions and they have free SSL on your domain for a year.

Namecheap has accepted BTC for a long time. You don’t pay for the domain directly with crypto, instead you have to top up your balance with enough funds to cover the cost of the domain + taxes and other add-ons. There are plenty of other resellers that accept crypto but Namecheap is the most reputable and always has some deals going on so you can buy at a low cost.

Most domain and hosting platform offers variety of payment options like crypto and bitcoin. Even the lesser popular site do it also.

For the site you mentioned, i suggest not to use godaddy aside that they dont accept crypto payments, their service will cause you trouble in the future, just based my experience. Namecheap and hostinger accept crypto so you're good.

Can vouch for Namecheap as well — been using Namecheap for like a decade now I think, even before I even bothered using bitcoin for payments. Along with that, Vultr for the servers/VPS just so if you're wondering as they accept bitcoin as well.

(P.S. Don't use GoDaddy if you don't want to have a massive headache.)

Go with the original domain provider that's ICANN accredited and the first to take Bitcoin: easyDNS (run by a Bitcoiner).

They may be old and the first domain provided in the industry but Namecheap beat them in terms of features and support; one of the big perks of buying a domain on Namecheap is the free SSL that's worth $15 and on renewal, you can renew your domain if you are patient to look on a discount coupon, I renew my domain with 20% discount.
Namecheap boasts a lot of domain extensions, so it is no wonder they are the domain provider to go to when buying a domain.
I also recommend that you host your domain on Namecheap so setting up and configuring will be easy, once you experience Namecheap you will not look for another.

In addition to the above platforms, you can also try "SteadyTurtle (https://www.steadyturtle.com/) ^{[ANN thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=972575.0) - they're no longer that active on this forum, but I had a great experience with them in the past]}".
^{- BTW, you can also use a merchant directory like "Cryptwerk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234560.0)" to look for registrars that accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (I prefer not to vouch, so DYOR before using them)!}
