How to Register a Domain with Bitcoin or Monero (Step-by-Step)

Banks ask questions. Credit cards leave trails. If you want a domain without either, crypto is the exit door.

This guide walks you through registering a domain at bunkerdomains.com using Bitcoin or Monero. No KYC, no legacy payment rails, no WHOIS spam. Just a domain, a wallet, and ten minutes.

Why Pay With Crypto

Every credit card transaction tells a story: who you are, where you live, what you're buying. Payment processors log everything and forward it to governments, ad networks, and anyone willing to subpoena.

Cryptocurrency cuts that thread. Bitcoin offers pseudonymity with public ledger transparency. Monero takes it further—privacy-first, unauditable, untraceable. Both work here.

We route payments through OxaPay, which handles BTC, XMR, LTC, and a dozen other coins. You send crypto from your wallet, we register your domain. No middlemen holding your name hostage.

Step 1: Search Your Domain

Head to bunkerdomains.com and type your desired domain into the search bar. Hundreds of TLDs available—offshore, privacy-friendly, or just cheap.

Some popular options:

• .is – Iceland registry, free-speech track record
• .se – Swedish stability, no content policing
• .ch – Swiss jurisdiction, solid technical infrastructure
• .im – Isle of Man, offshore-friendly, no local presence requirements
• .com / .net / .org – standard legacy TLDs, ICANN-regulated but ubiquitous

Results show instantly. Green = available. Gray = taken. Click the one you want.

Step 2: Add to Cart

Click "Add to Cart" next to your domain. You'll see a summary with:

• Domain name
• Registration period (1-10 years, your choice)
• Free WHOIS privacy (automatic, no upsell)
• Total price in USD

No hidden fees. No "premium" privacy add-ons. WHOIS privacy is default. Your registrant info stays private unless a court order from our jurisdiction forces disclosure—and we don't reply to DMCA, so good luck with that.

Adjust the registration length if you want. Longer terms lock in the price and reduce renewal hassle. Crypto holders with long time-preference often register 5-10 years upfront.

Step 3: Checkout – Email, Pseudo, Password

Click "Checkout" and you'll hit a minimal form:

• Email: Any address. Tutanota, ProtonMail, disposable—your choice. We send EPP codes and renewal notices here. Don't lose access.
• Pseudonym: Display name for your account. Can be random. We don't care.
• Password: Strong one. No recovery questions, no phone verification. Lose it, lose access.

That's it. No name, address, phone, or credit card form. No ID upload. No "verify your identity" circus.

Hit "Create Account & Continue."

Step 4: OxaPay Invoice

You'll land on the payment page showing an OxaPay invoice. Looks like this:

• Amount in USD
• Cryptocurrency options (BTC, XMR, LTC, USDT, others)
• Conversion rate locked for 15 minutes
• Payment address (QR code + string)

Select your coin. BTC and XMR are most common here. The invoice auto-converts USD to your chosen crypto at current rates.

Example:

• Domain cost: $12.95/year
• Select Monero
• Invoice shows: 0.073 XMR to address 8A7q3...

Copy the address or scan the QR with your mobile wallet.

Step 5: Send BTC or Monero

Open your wallet. Paste the address. Enter the exact amount shown on the invoice.

Bitcoin

Send from any non-custodial wallet. Electrum, Wasabi, Sparrow, hardware wallet—whatever. Confirmations take 10-60 minutes depending on network congestion and fee priority.

We wait for one confirmation before activating your domain. If you're in a rush, bump your transaction fee.

Monero

Send from CLI wallet, Feather, Cake, or Monerujo. Monero confirmations are faster and untraceable. No chain analysis, no input clustering, no exchange KYC cross-reference.

Transaction shows up in seconds. Confirmed in ~2 minutes. Domain activates automatically.

Common Mistakes

Step 6: Confirmation

Once OxaPay detects your transaction, you'll see:

• "Payment detected, awaiting confirmations…"
• Progress bar showing blockchain confirmations

Bitcoin: 1 confirmation required (~10 min average).
Monero: 10 confirmations required (~20 min average).

After confirmation:

• Invoice marked "Paid"
• Domain registered in our system
• Email sent to your account with EPP code and dashboard login

Refresh the page. You're done.

Step 7: Access Your Dashboard

Login at bunkerdomains.com/dashboard with your email and password. You'll see:

• Active domains
• DNS management panel (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME records)
• WHOIS privacy status (enabled by default)
• EPP/authorization code (looks like A1b2C#3d4E$5f6G)
• Transfer lock toggle
• Renewal date and auto-renew settings

Set your DNS records here or point to external nameservers. Changes propagate in minutes.

DNS Quick Reference

Add an A record to point your domain to an IP:

Type: A
Name: @
Value: 203.0.113.45
TTL: 3600

For email, add MX records. For domain verification, add TXT. Standard DNS—no proprietary formats, no lock-in.

EPP Code Storage

Your EPP code (authorization code) unlocks domain transfers. Store it offline. If someone compromises your email or dashboard, they can't transfer out without it.

Why This Matters

Credit cards are surveillance infrastructure. Every registrar that demands Visa or Mastercard is asking you to trade privacy for convenience. Crypto flips that.

You just registered a domain anonymously, paid without a bank, and left no forwarding address. That's the point.
