Alternatives to OrangeWebsite
OrangeWebsite positions itself as a budget registrar, but budget often comes with strings attached. KYC requirements, DMCA compliance, slow transfers, and domain locks that stay enabled by default push users toward alternatives fast. If you've hit OrangeWebsite's limitations—or just don't want to scan your ID to register a domain—you're not alone. Bunkerdomains operates on a different axis: no identity verification, crypto-only payment, automatic WHOIS privacy, and a firm policy of not responding to DMCA takedown notices unless legally compelled. We don't pretend to be neutral actors in the DNS space. We register domains for journalists, privacy advocates, offshore businesses, adult platforms, and people who simply believe their registrar shouldn't demand government ID. Transfer from OrangeWebsite takes hours, not weeks. No account review. No sudden suspension. No questions about your content.
Why switch
No KYC, ever
OrangeWebsite collects identity documents. Bunkerdomains doesn't ask. Register with a username and crypto address. Your registration data stays encrypted and inaccessible to us.
DMCA takedowns don't disable your domain
OrangeWebsite typically complies with DMCA notices by suspending domains. Bunkerdomains acknowledges copyright law exists but doesn't unilaterally kill domains based on complaints. We respond only to valid legal process.
Automatic WHOIS privacy included
OrangeWebsite charges extra for privacy. Bunkerdomains includes it free. Your registrant details stay hidden by default. No upsell.
Crypto payment only—no bank involvement
Skip credit card processors, payment gateways, and their fraud filters. Pay Bitcoin, Monero, or Ethereum. No payment holds. No disputes reversed months later.
Transfers are instant, not slow-walked
OrangeWebsite sometimes delays transfers for 'verification.' Bunkerdomains generates your EPP code immediately. Move your domain in hours.
Transparent about jurisdiction
OrangeWebsite obscures its legal posture. Bunkerdomains is upfront: we operate in a jurisdiction that doesn't prioritize U.S. copyright holders over domain owners.

Transfer from OrangeWebsite
Moving your domain from OrangeWebsite to Bunkerdomains takes about one hour. Here's the process. **Step 1: Unlock your domain at OrangeWebsite.** Log into your account, find your domain, and look for 'Lock Domain' or 'Domain Security' settings. Disable the lock. OrangeWebsite enables this by default to prevent accidental transfers. Step 2: Request your EPP code (also called auth code or transfer secret). Still in OrangeWebsite's control panel, find 'Get EPP Code' or 'Auth Code.' Copy it. Some registrars email it; OrangeWebsite often displays it directly. Step 3: Check expiration timing. If your domain expires within 15 days, add a year of renewal first. ICANN rules prevent transfers of domains within this window. Add the renewal at OrangeWebsite before proceeding. Step 4: Create a Bunkerdomains account. Use a username (no real name required), provide a crypto address for payment, and set a strong password. Step 5: Initiate the transfer at Bunkerdomains. Go to 'Transfer Domain,' enter your domain name and EPP code, select the TLD, and choose your registration period (1–10 years). Step 6: Pay in crypto. Bunkerdomains will display a payment address and amount. Send BTC, XMR, ETH, or other accepted crypto. Payment confirms within one block. Step 7: Authorize at the domain level. You'll receive an email at your domain's registrant contact address (the one listed at OrangeWebsite's WHOIS). Click the confirmation link or reply to authorize the transfer. Step 8: Monitor ICANN's transfer process. ICANN gives OrangeWebsite a grace period to object (usually automatic; they won't unless payment is disputed). Transfer completes in 5–7 days typically, sometimes faster. Your domain is now at Bunkerdomains. Update your nameservers if you're using a separate DNS provider. If OrangeWebsite tries to delay the transfer or refuses the EPP code, file a complaint with ICANN's dispute resolution or your country's domain authority. This is rare but documented.
