Do you accept Lightning Network payments?

Not yet. On-chain Bitcoin only for now. Lightning support is on the roadmap. For small orders, consider using an altcoin with lower fees if you want faster settlement.

What happens if I send the wrong amount?

Underpayments: we'll email you a new address for the difference. Overpayments: we'll credit your account or refund to the same address minus a processing fee. Never send from an exchange you don't control.

Can you trace my Bitcoin payment back to me?

We see the transaction on-chain, same as anyone else. We don't run chain analysis. We don't log your IP unless you create an account. If you're paranoid, use Tor, coinjoin your coins before sending, or pay from a wallet you acquired anonymously.

Do I need to provide an email address?

No. Email is optional. If you skip it, save your order ID and payment transaction hash. You'll need them to access your dashboard and manage the domain. We can't reset credentials without email, so don't lose them.

What if the price changes while I'm sending payment?

The BTC amount locks for 15 minutes. If you send after that window, we'll review manually. Usually we accept it if the fiat value is within 5%. Severe underpayments get refunded minus network fees.

Can I buy domains in bulk with one Bitcoin transaction?

Yes. Add multiple domains to cart, checkout once, get one payment address. The total amount covers all domains. Everything registers after confirmation. No per-domain transaction fees on our end.

Is Bitcoin payment more expensive than credit card?

We don't accept credit cards. Bitcoin is the baseline. On-chain fees are usually $1–$5. Credit card processors would charge us 3–5% plus demand KYC, which we'd pass to you. Bitcoin is cheaper and private.

Will you report my Bitcoin payment to tax authorities?

We're not a financial institution. We sell domains, not securities. We don't file SARs or CTRs. We don't know your jurisdiction or tax status. Consult your own accountant. We don't give legal advice and we don't volunteer data to governments.

BTC

Buy a domain with Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency. Launched in 2009, it remains the most liquid, most widely accepted digital asset for anonymous payments. No middleman. No bank account required. No identity verification unless you choose a KYC exchange to acquire it. Privacy level: pseudonymous by default. Your wallet address is public on the blockchain, but not inherently tied to your legal identity. If you buy BTC through a centralized exchange that collects ID, that link exists in their database. If you acquire it peer-to-peer, through mining, or via no-KYC ATMs, the trail is thinner. Chain analysis firms can trace flows, but cannot pierce the pseudonymity without external data. Use coin mixing, coinjoin, or layer-two solutions if you want stronger anonymity. Regulatory status: legal in most jurisdictions as property or commodity. Banned or restricted in a handful of countries. Regulatory scrutiny is high, especially around exchanges and on-ramps, but holding and transferring BTC remains permissible almost everywhere. Governments watch the endpoints—exchanges, fiat off-ramps—not the protocol itself. Using Bitcoin to pay for domains at bunkerdomains.com is simple. We generate a unique deposit address for each order. You send the exact amount from any wallet you control. No account creation. No email verification unless you want order updates. Once the transaction confirms on-chain, your domain registers. We never ask why you're buying or what you'll use it for. You pay, we register. That's the deal.

Why BTC?

No identity required

We don't ask for name, address, phone, or passport. You provide a wallet address and send coins. Your WHOIS data stays private by default. No registry will ever see your legal identity unless you choose to publish it.

Irreversible payments

Bitcoin transactions cannot be charged back. Once confirmed, the funds are ours and your domain is yours. No dispute process. No payment processor deciding your business is too risky. No frozen accounts.

Global, permissionless

No country can block a Bitcoin payment. No bank can decline the transaction because they don't like your industry. Whether you're in Reykjavik or Kinshasa, the protocol works the same. You send, we receive.

Widely liquid

Bitcoin has the deepest liquidity of any cryptocurrency. You can acquire it on hundreds of exchanges, peer-to-peer platforms, ATMs, and OTC desks. Exit back to fiat is equally straightforward if needed. Less slippage, tighter spreads than niche altcoins.

Proven security

Bitcoin's network has run without downtime for over a decade. Hash rate is astronomical. The chain has never been successfully double-spent at scale. Your payment won't vanish due to a protocol bug or consensus failure.

Step by step

1
Search for your domain
Use our search tool to check availability. We support hundreds of TLDs. No signup required to browse. Add one or multiple domains to cart.
2
Select Bitcoin at checkout
Choose Bitcoin (BTC) as payment method. We'll display the exact amount in BTC and generate a unique deposit address. The rate locks for 15 minutes.
3
Send payment from your wallet
Open any Bitcoin wallet you control—hardware, software, mobile, desktop. Paste our address, enter the exact amount, and broadcast. Do not send from an exchange account that prohibits withdrawals to merchant addresses.
4
Wait for confirmation
We require one on-chain confirmation for orders under $500, two confirmations above that. Typical wait: 10–30 minutes depending on your fee rate and network congestion. You can track the transaction on any block explorer.
5
Domain registers automatically
Once confirmed, our system pushes the registration to the registry. You receive an email with nameserver instructions and account access (if you provided an email). If you didn't provide one, check your payment transaction memo or save your order ID.
6
Point nameservers or configure DNS
Log into our dashboard or use the credentials we sent. Set your nameservers or use our free DNS hosting. Your domain is live. WHOIS privacy is enabled by default on all TLDs that support it.
7
Renew the same way
Before expiry, we'll email a renewal invoice with a new BTC address. Pay it the same way. No credit card on file. No auto-debit. You stay in control of when and whether to renew.

Fees & speed

Bitcoin transaction fees fluctuate with network demand. During quiet periods, you can confirm a transaction for under $1 using a fee rate around 5–10 satoshis per vbyte. During bull runs or congestion spikes, fees can climb to $20 or more for priority confirmation. Most wallets estimate fees automatically. If you're not in a hurry, you can set a lower fee and wait longer. Confirmation speed averages one block every ten minutes, but variance is high. Sometimes blocks arrive in two minutes, sometimes thirty. Miners prioritize transactions by fee rate, so low-fee payments may sit in the mempool for hours or days during congestion. For domain purchases under $500, we accept one confirmation—typically 10–20 minutes if you paid a reasonable fee. For larger orders, we wait for two confirmations to reduce double-spend risk, adding another 10–20 minutes. Network reliability is exceptional. Bitcoin has achieved 99.98%+ uptime since inception. The protocol does not go offline. Nodes and miners are distributed globally. No single entity can halt the chain. The main operational risk is fee volatility: if the mempool fills unexpectedly, your low-fee transaction might get stuck. You can use Replace-By-Fee (RBF) to bump the fee if your wallet supports it, or simply wait. We never cancel an order due to slow confirmation unless the payment expires after 72 hours without any confirmations. Compared to altcoins, Bitcoin is slower and sometimes more expensive, but far more liquid and trusted. For domain payments, the tradeoff is acceptable. You're not day-trading; you're buying a long-term asset. An extra ten minutes and a couple of dollars in fees is irrelevant. The assurance that the network won't fork, the coin won't rug, and the transaction won't reverse is worth it.
