Is Bunkerdomains legal?

Yes. We register domains under legitimate ICANN-accredited registries. We operate in jurisdictions with minimal government interference in DNS operations. We're not breaking any laws by refusing DMCA notices; we're simply not based in the US. Legality and compliance are different things.

Can I really pay in Monero and stay anonymous?

Yes. Monero is private by default, and we don't ask for a name or address. We accept the transaction, you get a domain. No account linkage to a bank or identity. If you use Tor to access our site, you're as anonymous as the blockchain allows.

What happens if a copyright holder complains about my domain?

We don't reply to complaints or cease-and-desist letters. If a legitimate court in a jurisdiction where we operate issues an order, we evaluate it. Otherwise, your domain stays live. We're not judges; we're a registry operator. Intellectual property disputes are legal matters, not registrar matters.

Will my domains disappear without notice?

No. We don't suspend domains for content or complaint volume. We renew them as long as you pay the bill. If your domain expires and you don't renew, it enters a grace period, then becomes available for re-registration. That's standard ICANN policy, not a Bunkerdomains policy.

How do I renew my domain?

Log in, add funds to your account in crypto, and renew manually or enable auto-renewal. We send reminder emails, but they're optional. If you disable email, you're responsible for tracking renewal dates. We won't force notifications on you.

Can I transfer my domain back out to another registrar?

Yes. We unlock domains for transfer instantly upon request. No verification hoops, no waiting period. You control your domain registration; we don't trap you.

What TLDs do you support?

We support 500+ TLDs, including .com, .net, .org, .io, .cc, .ws, and many country-code and niche TLDs. We also register in adult-oriented extensions (.xxx, .adult) and privacy-friendly TLDs (.onion is in progress) that many traditional registrars refuse.

What if I forget my password or lose access?

Account recovery is tied to your registered email. If you no longer have access to that email, recovery is difficult by design—we can't send a password reset to a phone number or require ID verification. Use a password manager and keep your email account secure. This is intentional: if someone hacks your email, they shouldn't automatically own your domains.

Alternatives to Sarek Oy

Sarek Oy operates as a Finnish domain registrar offering traditional registration services. If you're searching for alternatives, you likely hit friction points: KYC requirements that demand ID verification, DMCA compliance that means takedowns without pushback, payment methods tied to traditional banking, or transfer policies that lock you in longer than necessary. Bunkerdomains exists for the opposite reason. We skip the identity theater. Pay in crypto—Bitcoin, Monero, whatever—no credit card, no bank account linkage, no registry of who you are. DMCA requests? We don't reply to them. Your domains stay live unless a court order lands on our desk, and even then we fight it. Transfers out are instant; we don't hold your domains hostage while you wait for verification emails. If you value privacy by default rather than privacy as an afterthought, if you're tired of registrars that collect your data and fold under pressure, this page explains why thousands have already switched. We're not faster or cheaper than every competitor—we're just honest about what we won't do. That clarity matters when your domains matter.

Why switch

KYC and identity verification

Sarek Oy, like most traditional Nordic registrars, requires identity documents for account signup and domain ownership. Bunkerdomains accepts only a username and crypto address. No passport scan. No address proof. No data harvested.

DMCA compliance and takedowns

Sarek Oy responds to DMCA notices and similar complaints by suspending or transferring domains. We don't. Unless a court order reaches us directly, your domain stays resolving. We ignore automated complaint systems.

Payment methods and financial surveillance

Traditional registrars require credit cards, bank transfers, or PayPal—all of which create a paper trail and allow payment processors to block your account based on domain content or business model. Crypto payments are final and irreversible. No chargeback risk. No payment gatekeepers.

Transfer locks and delays

Most registrars, including Sarek Oy, maintain transfer locks by default and require verification steps before unlocking. Bunkerdomains unlocks domains for transfer immediately upon request. Your domain, your choice when to move it.

Data retention and privacy policy

Finnish registrars operate under GDPR and maintain registrant databases available to authorities. Bunkerdomains includes free WHOIS privacy by default and retains minimal personal data—only what's necessary to process your payment.

Censorship resistance and free speech

Sarek Oy's jurisdiction and regulatory environment mean pressure from rightsholders and governments can force compliance. We're built to resist that pressure. Our infrastructure and policies are designed to outlast bureaucratic demands.

Transfer from Sarek Oy

Transferring a domain from Sarek Oy to Bunkerdomains takes minutes if you know the steps. Here's how. First, log into your Sarek Oy account and locate the domain you want to transfer. Navigate to its management page and look for 'Transfer' or 'Transfer Out' option. Sarek Oy will ask you to unlock the domain and generate an EPP code (also called an authorization code or transfer key). This code is a string of characters that proves you control the domain. Write it down. Do not share it with anyone except us. Next, check your domain's expiration date. ICANN rules require that a domain be at least 60 days from expiration to transfer. If your domain expires in fewer than 60 days, renew it at Sarek Oy first—this is a hard rule, not a registrar preference. Once unlocked and the EPP code is in hand, visit bunkerdomains.com and start a new account signup. Use only a username and password; provide no personal information. Fund your account with cryptocurrency—Bitcoin, Monero, or Ethereum. The minimum is usually equivalent to one year of domain renewal. Then initiate the transfer request through our platform. Paste the EPP code when prompted. Our system contacts the Sarek Oy registry and begins the transfer process. Sarek Oy may send a confirmation email to the domain contact address on file; confirm it if required. The transfer typically completes within 24 hours. Once it lands in your Bunkerdomains account, you're done. The domain will renew through us on its next anniversary. Important: Do not delete the Sarek Oy account until the transfer is complete and confirmed. If anything breaks mid-transfer, you'll need access to re-generate the EPP code.
