Register a domain, point it anywhere

Because the registry that runs .site prices it that way, and every reseller pays the same wholesale figure. A cheap first year is how a new extension gets taken up. If you want a price that does not move, 6 of our 23 extensions renew at exactly what you paid: .com, .net, .uk, .co.uk, .ca and .de.

No, and it is on wherever the registry permits it. Some extensions — several country codes in particular — publish registrant details by law and no registrar can hide them. The cart tells you which before you pay.

Yes. Plenty of people register a name here and host it elsewhere, or hold it for later. It sits in the same client area as everything else and renews on the same invoice.

You do. It is registered to you as the registrant, and you can transfer it away whenever you like once it is past the sixty-day lock every registry applies after registration. We are the registrar, not the owner.

There is a grace period of thirty to forty days depending on the extension, during which renewing costs the normal price. After that it enters redemption, where recovery is expensive and sometimes impossible. Turn auto-renew on and keep a working email on the account — that prevents essentially all of it.

Yes. You get full DNS control from the client area, so point the records anywhere you like. There is no requirement to host with us, and no penalty for not doing so.

The 23 most asked-for extensions are checked against the registry as you type. The rest of the list shows its price, and the cart confirms availability the moment you add one — no name is ever sold twice.

Five to seven days, most of which is a registry waiting period nobody can shorten. Your site and email keep working throughout, because a transfer changes who bills you and not where the DNS points. You need the domain unlocked and the EPP code from your current registrar.

Almost always one of three things: the domain is still inside the sixty days after registration or a previous transfer, it is locked at the losing registrar, or it has expired and needs renewing first. Open a ticket with the EPP code to hand and the desk will tell you which.
