About WikiForDomains

WikiForDomains is an independent, reader-supported reference on domain names, top-level domains (TLDs) and domain registrars. It explains how domains work, how to buy, transfer and protect them, and profiles the most-registered extensions and the companies that sell them, in a neutral, encyclopedia-style format.

• Profiles of the top 25 domain extensions, from .com to country codes such as .uk and .de.
• Practical guides, such as how to buy a domain, domain transfers, WHOIS lookups, domain privacy, and crypto payment guides for USDT, USDC and anonymous registration, plus x402 and the AI agent economy.
• Background articles on the history of the DNS, the domain name industry and the domain name lifecycle.
• Company articles on registrars, written to the same neutral standard as every other page.

Articles aim to be neutral, accurate and sourced. Factual claims such as prices, founding dates, registry operators and policies should be backed by a reference to the registry, the registrar, ICANN, IANA or reputable published reporting. Where sources disagree or figures change often, articles say so and note when the figure was checked. Promotional wording is removed, and no registrar pays to change what an article says about it.

Every change to a published article is reviewed by an editor before it goes live. Suggestions and talk-page posts are held in a moderation queue and only appear once an administrator approves them.

1. Open the article you want to improve.
2. Use the Suggest an edit button (the pencil icon above the article) to describe the correction or addition. A source link helps it get approved quickly.
3. To discuss a larger change, open the article's Talk tab and start a new topic.

Editors review suggestions in order. Accepted changes appear on the live article; you don't need an account.

WikiForDomains is reader-supported. Some links to registrars may be affiliate links, which means the site may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Some tools, such as the domain name search box, are third-party widgets: searches and purchases are handled by the provider, under its own terms and privacy policy. These links and widgets are labelled where they appear. They do not affect editorial content, and listings and comparisons are not sold. See Domain affiliate programs for background on how these programmes work.

WikiForDomains is an independent publication. It is not a registrar or a registry, and it does not sell domain names itself. It is not affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation; it simply uses a familiar wiki-style layout because it suits reference content.
