Domain leasing, by the month

Domain leasing means paying rent to use a domain name you do not own. Here you lease a listed name for 1, 6 or 12 months, billed monthly, and you control its DNS for the term. The name is never sold, so there is no purchase price and no option to buy.

Terms are 1 month, 6 months or 12 months, billed monthly. The 12 month rate is the listed rate; 6 months costs 1.2 times it and 1 month costs 1.5 times it, rounded up to whole dollars.

How a lease works here

  1. Choose a listed name and a term of 1, 6 or 12 months. The rent page shows the first charge, the monthly charge and the lease before you sign in.
  2. Sign in with an email code, then add a passkey or an authenticator app.
  3. Verify your legal name once, with a government ID and a selfie.
  4. Read and sign the lease, then pay the first month by card. The same rent is charged on the same day every month.
  5. Point the DNS yourself, or create a token for your agent. The first DNS change on a new lease is checked by a person before it goes live.

Leasing, lease to own and buying

Buying a domain means paying its price once, then the yearly registration, and the name is yours to keep or sell.

Lease to own spreads a purchase price over monthly payments, and the name becomes yours when the payments end.

Leasing here is neither: you pay rent for the term you chose, you control the DNS while the lease runs, and the name stays ours. Nothing you pay counts toward owning it.

Billing, plainly

Questions

What is domain leasing?
Paying rent to use a domain name you do not own. Here you lease a listed name for 1, 6 or 12 months, billed monthly, and control its DNS for the term. The name is never sold, and nothing you pay counts toward owning it.

Am I renting or buying?
Renting. You get DNS control for the term. You never get ownership, a transfer, or a purchase option.

What happens when my term ends?
It renews for another term of the same length, unless you cancelled or we gave 30 days written notice. The rent is the same unless a review memo set a new one, with at least 60 days notice.

How do I cancel?
In your dashboard, at least 2 days before the term ends. The lease then ends with that term: nothing is charged after it, your records are removed, and the name goes back to us. Cancelling is not a refund.

Can I get a refund?
Not after activation. There are no refunds after activation and no proration for part of a month. Cancelling stops the next term. It does not return rent already charged. Exceptions: we refund in full, to the card you paid with, a payment that lands after the name was taken or withdrawn, a payment made on an older checkout page after you started over, and the payment made on a second checkout page for the same lease.

Can someone outbid me?
Nobody can buy the name. If someone offers more rent for it, we tell you in writing, and you can match that rent for your next term within 14 days, or before your term ends if that is sooner. If you decline, we may decline to renew, with 30 days written notice. It never shortens a term.

Who can rent?
A business, or a person renting for a commercial purpose. The lease is not for personal, family or household use. If you sign for a company, you confirm you can bind it.
