Our take on Dynadot

Dynadot is a solid registrar for a site that wants a .com with no renewal surprise. The .com price never moves, the ICANN fee is included, WHOIS privacy is free, and you can pay in Bitcoin or stablecoins.

The catch is security: Registry Lock, the strongest protection against domain theft, covers none of the adult extensions.

Adult extensions at Dynadot

.xxx, .porn, .adult and .sex all cost €48.96 the first year at Dynadot, then €92.83 to renew or transfer in. Those prices stay in euros even with the site set to dollars, so a US buyer pays whatever the exchange rate makes them. After expiry there is a 30-day renewal grace period, then restoring an adult name costs €228.17.

How much a .com costs at Dynadot

A .com costs $10.88 to register, renew or transfer, with the ICANN fee already included. Nothing is added at checkout. The grid can also show euros, Mexican pesos, Brazilian reais or rupees among nine currencies, and Dynadot notes that prices follow exchange rates. A .com bought by mistake can be returned within 118 hours for a $3 fee.

What the $8.99 .com promotion costs you

The promo code brings a .com down to $8.99 for the first year, but the name sits at a partner registrar until renewal. During that year WHOIS privacy is forced on, DNSSEC is unavailable, renewal is blocked for 60 days and grace deletions are not allowed. Abuse reports go to the partner first, which slows things down. For an adult site, the regular price is the safer choice.

Privacy, locks and DNSSEC

WHOIS privacy, account lock and two-factor authentication are free. Paid Registry Lock only covers .com, .net and .cc. None of the four adult extensions, the priciest to buy back if stolen, can use it. DNSSEC requires third-party nameservers. Payment options include cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, USDC and USDT.
