Does bunkerdomains support all the TLDs Internet.bs offers?

No. We curate our TLD list to exclude extensions with mandatory KYC, restrictive use policies, or registries that cooperate aggressively with trademark holders. We skip .eu, .us, .uk, and similar TLDs that require identity verification. We focus on offshore-friendly gTLDs and ccTLDs from jurisdictions with strong privacy norms—.com, .net, .org, .is, .io, and others. Check our TLD list for current availability.

Can I transfer a domain that's currently under a compliance review at Internet.bs?

If Internet.bs has locked your domain due to a compliance flag, you need to resolve that with them before initiating a transfer. Locked domains cannot transfer at the registry level. If the domain is unlocked but under review, you can attempt transfer—registries process transfers independently of registrar investigations. However, Internet.bs may reject the transfer request during their five-day approval window. No guarantees if you're mid-dispute.

Will I lose my remaining registration time when I transfer?

No. Transfers add one year to your existing expiration date—you don't lose time already paid for. If your domain expires in 2026, and you transfer today, the new expiration will be 2027. The transfer fee at bunkerdomains covers that additional year. You're paying for an extension plus the move, not replacing your current registration period.

How long does Internet.bs take to approve a transfer out?

Internet.bs has five days to approve or reject after you initiate the transfer. Most transfers from them complete in 5-7 days unless they manually intervene. If they do nothing, the transfer auto-approves after five days per ICANN policy. Occasionally they contact you asking why you're leaving—ignore it or reply briefly. They can't block a valid transfer indefinitely.

Can I transfer a domain registered less than 60 days ago?

No. ICANN rules prohibit transfers within 60 days of initial registration or a previous transfer. You'll need to wait. This isn't an Internet.bs policy—it's registry-level enforcement. Attempting a transfer before 60 days results in automatic rejection. Mark your calendar and initiate the transfer once the window passes.

What happens to my DNS settings during the transfer?

DNS settings stay intact. Your nameservers remain pointed wherever they currently are—usually Internet.bs nameservers or third-party DNS like Cloudflare. After the transfer completes, you can update nameservers in the bunkerdomains control panel if you want to switch DNS providers. The domain itself never goes offline during a transfer unless you change nameservers mid-process and misconfigure something.

Does bunkerdomains accept domains with trademark complaints or DMCA flags?

We don't pre-screen domains for legal history. If your domain has active disputes at Internet.bs, transferring doesn't erase those—complainants can follow you. However, bunkerdomains doesn't respond to DMCA notices or trademark complaints without court orders from our jurisdiction. Practically, this means nuisance complaints stop after transfer, but serious legal action with resources behind it will continue regardless of registrar.

Can I reverse a transfer if I change my mind?

Once a transfer completes, it's final. You'd need to transfer the domain back to Internet.bs as a new transfer-in request on their end, which takes another 5-7 days and costs another year of registration. Before initiating a transfer to bunkerdomains, confirm you want to move—there's no undo button mid-process, and stopping a transfer after approval requires contacting both registrars, which often fails.

Alternatives to Internet.bs

Internet.bs built its reputation as an offshore-friendly registrar—Bahamas jurisdiction, crypto payment, reasonable privacy stance. For years, it was the default choice for operators who wanted distance from US legal reach. But the cracks show: they still ask for ID verification on certain TLDs, WHOIS privacy costs extra on many extensions, their ticket system moves slowly, and their transfer-out process involves manual approval delays. If you got flagged for a compliance check, you know the frustration. People search for Internet.bs alternatives when they hit one of these walls: surprise KYC requests during domain transfers, mandatory identity verification for .eu or .us domains, extra fees for WHOIS guard on premium TLDs, or simply wanting a registrar that never asks questions in the first place. Others leave after price hikes on renewals or because Internet.bs still maintains some cooperation with trademark complaints and legal requests—offshore doesn't mean immune. bunkerdomains.com exists for operators who want the Internet.bs promise taken further. We don't charge extra for WHOIS privacy—it's default on every TLD we offer. We don't store your identity documents because we never ask for them. We don't accept fiat payment, so there's no bank trail linking you to your domains. We don't respond to DMCA notices or trademark complaints unless accompanied by a court order from our jurisdiction. We don't manually approve transfers—automation means your domain moves when you say so, not when support gets around to it. If Internet.bs feels like a compromise—better than GoDaddy but still not quite bulletproof—this page explains why bunkerdomains is the next logical step. We cover what Internet.bs does right, where it falls short, and how to move your domains over without downtime. No sales pitch. Just the technical and jurisdictional facts.

Why switch

Mandatory KYC on certain TLDs

Internet.bs requires identity verification for .eu, .us, .uk, and several other ccTLDs due to registry policy. Even if you've been a customer for years, they'll lock you out until you submit ID. bunkerdomains only offers TLDs where registries don't mandate identity verification—we curate our portfolio so you never face a surprise KYC gate.

WHOIS privacy costs extra

Internet.bs charges annual fees for WHOIS guard on many TLDs, especially premium and new gTLDs. Miss the renewal and your registrant details go public. bunkerdomains includes WHOIS privacy free on every domain, every year, no exceptions. We don't even offer a toggle—it's always on.

Slow manual transfer approvals

Internet.bs requires support ticket intervention for many transfer-out requests. You submit the EPP code request, wait 24-72 hours for a human to process it, sometimes get asked why you're leaving. bunkerdomains automates EPP code delivery—request it in the control panel, receive it instantly. No friction, no questions.

Fiat payment creates paper trail

Internet.bs accepts Bitcoin but also credit cards, PayPal, wire transfers. Every fiat transaction links your identity to your domain portfolio through banking records. bunkerdomains is crypto-only—Monero, Bitcoin, Litecoin. No bank knows you registered a domain. No payment processor logs to subpoena.

Responsive to trademark complaints

Internet.bs cooperates with trademark holders and UDRP proceedings, often suspending domains during disputes even without court orders. They're offshore but still risk-averse. bunkerdomains ignores trademark complaints unless backed by a valid court order from our jurisdiction. Your domain stays live during legal theater.

Account verification flags

Internet.bs runs automated fraud checks that flag accounts for manual review—bulk registrations, certain TLDs, high-value domains. Your account freezes until you verify identity and explain your use case. bunkerdomains doesn't run fraud checks. Register 100 domains in an hour, we don't care. No flags, no freezes, no interrogation.

Transfer from Internet.bs

Transferring domains from Internet.bs to bunkerdomains takes 5-7 days if you follow the process correctly. Start by logging into your Internet.bs account and locating the domain you want to move. Check the domain's expiration date—transfers add one year to the registration, so if your domain expires in under 60 days, renew it first at Internet.bs to avoid transfer rejection. ICANN rules prohibit transfers within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer, so confirm your domain is outside that window. Next, disable the transfer lock. Internet.bs locks domains by default. Navigate to domain management, find the transfer lock setting, and turn it off. This step is critical—locked domains reject transfer requests at the registry level. Then request your EPP authorization code (also called transfer code or auth code). At Internet.bs, this requires opening a support ticket—they don't provide instant EPP code access in the control panel for most TLDs. Submit the ticket, wait for support to reply with the code (usually 24-72 hours). Save that code securely. Before initiating the transfer at bunkerdomains, verify the domain's WHOIS email address is valid and accessible. Internet.bs sends the transfer approval email to the registrant address on file. If that email is outdated or you don't control it, update it now and wait 24 hours for the change to propagate. Some TLDs require 60-day wait periods after WHOIS registrant email changes, so check registry rules for your extension. Now create a bunkerdomains account if you haven't already—email address only, no ID required. Initiate the transfer from our control panel: enter the domain name, paste the EPP code, pay the transfer fee in crypto. The registry sends an approval email to the WHOIS registrant address. Check your inbox (and spam folder), click the approval link. Internet.bs also receives a notification and has five days to approve, reject, or ignore—if they ignore, the transfer auto-completes after five days. Most Internet.bs transfers complete in 5-7 days unless you hit manual approval delays on their end. During the transfer, your domain stays fully functional—DNS settings don't change, the website stays live, email continues working. Once the transfer completes at bunkerdomains, update your nameservers if needed and confirm WHOIS privacy is active (it is by default). Your domain is now outside Internet.bs jurisdiction, outside their compliance processes, and outside any KYC requirements you may have faced. If you transfer multiple domains, stagger them over a few days to avoid triggering any automated fraud flags at Internet.bs that could slow approvals.

Other alternatives worth knowing

Njalla

Domain privacy service, not a true registrar—they own domains on your behalf. Strong anonymity but you don't hold the registration directly. Based in Sweden (EU jurisdiction). Good for activist use cases, less ideal for commercial operations where you need full domain ownership.

1984 Hosting

Iceland-based registrar and hosting provider, strong free-speech stance, rejects most foreign legal requests. Accepts Bitcoin. More transparent about identity than bunkerdomains—they know your name but protect it. Good choice if you want offshore with a public reputation for activism support.

OrangeWebsite

Iceland registrar and hosting, similar profile to 1984.is but smaller. Strong privacy policies, accepts crypto, marketed toward journalists and controversial content. Less established than 1984 but same jurisdictional advantages. Domain selection more limited than bunkerdomains.
