## NameSilo

- `domains-dns/namesilo` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding write-gated | category domain registrar
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T01:23:29.280Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://www.namesilo.com/pricing
- price USD 19.99 .com retail, or USD 12.00 at the Discount Program 0+ tier, registration and renewal alike; .de USD 5.99 flat; .uk USD 2.25 first year (regular USD 6.49) then USD 6.49; .top USD 1.88 then USD 4.88
- free tier: not free. A public price list of 462 TLDs; promotional first-year prices are printed beside the crossed-out regular price, and renewal is charged at the regular price | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-30 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable: the unit is a domain name
- retention: a registration runs for its paid term and renews at the renewal-list price; a domain whose registrant email is not verified within 15 days is placed on clientHold | source: [2]
- egress: not applicable to a registrar | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: sign-up asks an email address and a password behind a reCAPTCHA, or a Google or Facebook sign-in; each domain needs a contact profile with a name, an email address and a phone number, and the registrant email is verified by a link or a code within 15 days of the first notice, which is sent when a registration or transfer completes. No phone verification step is stated on the contact, email-verification, checkout, account-funding or API pages; the API lists the phone number as a required contact field with length and format rules. The checkout page lists the billing contact's name and address, an optional tax ID and the payment method. Payment by card, PayPal, Alipay, Venmo, Bitcoin or Account Funds, so no card is required. The crypto guide on NameSilo's blog documents the Bitcoin path as: log in, open the Account Funds Manager, add funds with Bitcoin or through the Nicky processor, wait for confirmation, then register from the balance at checkout; it lists no phone check or identity-document step and calls crypto purchases more private than card payments. The account-funding page lists Bitcoin without the 'verified' qualifier that the card, PayPal and Skrill sources carry, a card source is verified through the billing manager, and API orders are paid from a verified card or Account Funds. NameSilo's privacy page says proof of identification may be requested, its blog says new accounts making large purchases or registering from high-risk locations may meet payment holds or additional verification requirements, and its account-funding page says a balance can be withheld when the funding source is judged not legitimate; whether a Bitcoin or Account Funds order passes without a phone check or an identity-document review is unverified: behind a sign-up. A third-party report describes a card-payment fraud review that froze an account until a card photo and an identity document were supplied
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): the promotional price covers the first-year registration only; renewal is the regular price: .xyz USD 2.79 then USD 17.29, .vip USD 4.99 then USD 19.49, .cc USD 4.19 then USD 9.99, .eu USD 5.49 then USD 9.99, .org USD 10.79 then USD 14.99, .top USD 1.88 then USD 4.88 [3]
  - write-gated (binding): Discount Program prices (.com USD 12.00 instead of USD 19.99 at the 0+ tier) apply only to orders paid from Account Funds, topped up at USD 50.00 minimum [4]
- limits note: Transfer in: the transfer price list has no entry for .de, .eu or .uk, while the registration and renewal lists carry all three. For the extensions in the transfer list, one year is added to the expiry at no extra charge on completion; the FAQ names two exceptions, a renewal at the previous registrar within 45 days and a registry maximum (typically 10 years) that the extra year would exceed. A .uk transfer needs no authorization code: the order is followed by an IPS tag change to NAMESILO at the previous registrar. What a cart charges for a .de, .eu or .uk transfer, and whether it adds a year, is unverified: behind a sign-up.
- binding note: the renewal price decides what a name costs to keep; the first-year promotion and the Account Funds requirement are payment gates, not quotas
- interface detail: a web dashboard and an HTTP API whose getPrices operation returns the price list; API access carries no extra charge, and the site menu links an MCP server at mcp.namesilo.com
- tooling: the NameSilo API, the dashboard, the MCP server at mcp.namesilo.com
- composes with: a registrar only: WHOIS privacy, email forwarding and DNS management are included at no charge, and the nameservers can point at any free DNS host; .de at USD 5.99 costs the same in the first year and every renewal; .uk is USD 2.25 in the first year and USD 6.49 at renewal
- reliability: a 2023 third-party report: an account was frozen after a failed virtual-card top-up and unblocked once a card photo and a passport were supplied; support said most virtual cards are not supported
- notes: Retail USD, first year / renewal / transfer-in: .com 19.99 / 19.99 / 11.50 (transfer normal price 11.50); .org 10.79 (regular 14.99) / 14.99 / 11.99; .net 15.95 / 15.95 / 11.35 (transfer normal price 15.95); .xyz 2.79 (regular 17.29) / 17.29 / 14.75; .top 1.88 (regular 4.88) / 4.88 / 4.78; .de 5.99 / 5.99 / not listed; .eu 5.49 (regular 9.99) / 9.99 / not listed; .uk 2.25 (regular 6.49) / 6.49 / not listed, moved in by changing the IPS tag to NAMESILO; .cc 4.19 (regular 9.99) / 9.99 / 9.49; .vip 4.99 (regular 19.49) / 19.49 / 16.50. Discount Program 0+ tier, first year / renewal: .com 12.00 / 12.00; .org 9.29 / 13.49; .net 11.85 / 11.85; .xyz 2.69 / 17.19; .top 1.78 / 4.78; .de 5.89 / 5.89; .eu 5.39 / 9.89; .uk 2.15 (regular 6.39) / 6.39; .cc 4.09 / 9.89; .vip 4.89 / 19.39. The .com transfer-in at 11.50 is below both .com renewal prices. Renewal is never above the regular registration rate except .mobi and promotions.
- evidence note: Prices and terms are read from NameSilo's own price lists, product lists, pricing page, transfer page, crypto guide and support pages. The transfer price list has no entry for .de, .eu or .uk, so their transfer price, and whether a transfer adds a year, are unverified: behind a sign-up (a cart read). Whether a Bitcoin or Account Funds order passes without a phone check or an identity-document review is unverified: behind a sign-up; the documented crypto path lists no phone check or identity-document step, and the card fraud-review gate is a third-party report. A signed-in cart read of a .de, .eu and .uk transfer, and a signed-in checkout paid with Bitcoin and with Account Funds, would move these up. The .com and .uk price fields were re-read from the current price lists.
