Crypto Payments Now Accepted by Majority of Domain Registrars
Buying a domain name using cryptocurrency has become increasingly straightforward in recent years. With several established registrars now accepting Bitcoin and other digital currencies, the process is no longer limited to traditional payment methods.
One of the pioneers in this space is Namecheap, which began accepting Bitcoin payments as far back as 2013. The company offers .com domains starting at $0.99 for the first year of registration, with renewal pricing around $14.98 annually. Namecheap processes crypto payments through both BitPay and BTCPay Server.
Porkbun is another registrar that supports cryptocurrency payments, with options including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, and USDC. The company's domain pricing for .com starts at approximately $10.37 per year, which includes WHOIS privacy protection at no additional cost.
