01
Domain registrar features that come with every domain
Every domain at NameBest includes WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it, a DNS editor, URL forwarding, custom nameservers, a transfer lock, the EPP code in your dashboard and auto renew with reminders. There are no add ons to buy and no bundles to pick, just one yearly price per domain.
03
Domain search with both prices in every row
Type a name and we check it live across popular, tech, business and country extensions. Each row shows Available, Taken or Premium, the first year price and the renewal price. Filter to available names only, sort by price or narrow to a category. Try the domain availability checker.
- Live answer from the registries
- First year and renewal price side by side
- Premium names clearly labeled with their price
- A link to the owner lookup guide on every taken name
04
WHOIS privacy included
Your name, address and phone stay out of the public WHOIS record on every extension whose registry allows privacy. A relay address still lets people contact you without seeing your email. Some extensions, such as .us, do not allow privacy, and the search result tells you before you buy. Read more on WHOIS privacy service.
05
DNS management in a plain table
Add and edit A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and SRV records. Changes go live within minutes. Use it to connect a website, a store platform or an email provider, or to verify a domain with a TXT record. See DNS management.
| Record | Used for |
|---|---|
| A and AAAA | Pointing the domain to a server address |
| CNAME | Pointing a subdomain to another name |
| MX | Receiving email |
| TXT | Verification, SPF, DKIM and DMARC |
| SRV | Services such as calling and chat |
06
URL forwarding with paths
Forward a domain or a subdomain to any address with a permanent 301 or a temporary 302 redirect, and keep the path so old links still land on the right page. Useful for old brand names, campaign domains and common typos. See domain forwarding.
07
Custom nameservers
Use our nameservers with the built in DNS editor, or point the domain to your host, your CDN or your own nameservers. Switch back at any time. See custom nameservers.
08
Auto renew and reminders
Each domain renews automatically by default. We email you 30 days and 7 days before expiry and again after expiry if payment fails. Every domain has its own auto renew switch. Turn it off and the domain stays yours until the end of the paid year. See domain renewal.
09
Transfer lock and EPP code
The transfer lock is on from the first day, so nobody can move the domain away without your action. When you decide to leave, you switch the lock off and copy the EPP code from your dashboard, with no ticket and no exit fee. Read domain account security.
10
Transfers in
Bring a domain from another registrar with its EPP code. The transfer price is shown before you pay, the transfer adds one year to the registration and most transfers finish within 5 days. See domain transfer.
11
One account for all your domains
- All domains in one list with status and expiry date
- Invoices for every registration, transfer and renewal
- Export of your domain list with expiry dates
- Registrant details per domain, person or company
- Sign in with a password or a code sent to your email
