A private domain name registration service with one simple promise: your details stay out of the public record, and our rules stay in public view.

**Quick answer — What is Sealname?**

**Sealname** is a private domain name registration service paid in crypto: WHOIS privacy included, no ID and no KYC — only a verified email, kept private. It sells 130 extensions that can be registered privately, with .com at $12.99/year, and the customer is always the registrant of record. Sealname is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, an ICANN-accredited registrar incorporated in Panama.

## What does Sealname do?

Sealname registers domain names so that your name, home address and phone never appear in public WHOIS/RDAP. Where the registry allows it, the public record shows our privacy service's contact details instead of yours. We sell only extensions where one email is enough. Extensions whose registry needs a name and address, such as .de or .uk, are sold registered in our name only, so the registry sees our company, never you; those that need residence, such as .eu, are not sold.

The domain is yours. You are the registrant of record, the legal holder of the domain. By default Sealname registers domains in your name; registering in our name, the proxy model, is a separate paid option: [Registered in our name](https://sealname.com/registered-in-our-name/). The difference is explained on [WHOIS privacy vs proxy registration](https://sealname.com/whois-privacy-vs-proxy-registration/).

There is no sign-up form. A random 16-digit account number is your login. Each domain needs one verified email, because ICANN requires registrars to verify it within 15 days of a registration, transfer or change. That email is never published. The rest is in [how it works](https://sealname.com/how-it-works/).

## Who operates Sealname?

Sealname is operated by **DomaineGoat LLC, an ICANN-accredited registrar incorporated in Panama**.

As an accredited registrar, the operator is bound by ICANN's 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement. That contract brings duties you can rely on:

- verification of the registrant's email, within 15 days;
- deposit of registration data with an escrow agent (RAA §3.6), so that ICANN can move domains to another registrar if a registrar loses its accreditation;
- prompt action on well-documented DNS abuse (RAA §3.18, as amended on 5 April 2024);
- published terms for the privacy service: relay, reveal and termination rules, and an abuse contact.

It also brings duties of disclosure in specific cases, listed in our [disclosure policy](https://sealname.com/disclosure-policy/).

## What does Sealname believe?

That privacy is legitimate, and that it lasts only when it is honest about its limits.

- **Private to the public, not above the law.** Your details stay off the public record. A valid court order still applies.
- **Strict exceptions, written openly.** Phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension. A registrar that ignores abuse puts every customer at risk: Trustname promised its customers protection from takedowns, and ICANN sent it a termination notice on 27 August 2026 for breaches of its abuse-handling duties ([ICANN notice](https://www.icann.org/uploads/compliance_notice/attachment/1367/hedlund-to-nestsiarovich-27aug26.pdf)).
- **No takedown on complaint alone.** Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court, and your data only goes out on a Panamanian court order.
- **Only extensions that can be private.** We do not sell .us, .es or other extensions where privacy is impossible, rather than sell them with a promise we cannot keep.
- **One price, no teaser.** The first year, every renewal and a transfer cost the same.
- **No surprises about payment.** Crypto only. We do not accept Monero, and we say so on [our Monero page](https://sealname.com/monero/).

## What does Sealname publish?

Every rule that affects your domain is on a public page, dated, in HTML and as Markdown.

- **[Price list](https://sealname.com/pricing/)** — Every extension, first year, renewal, transfer and privacy, also in machine-readable pricing.json.
- **[Domain privacy index](https://sealname.com/tld-rules/)** — Every extension rated Yes, No or "not with only an email", with its source, under the CC BY 4.0 licence.
- **[Data we collect](https://sealname.com/data-we-collect/)** — Each field we hold, why, who sees it and how long we keep it.
- **[Disclosure policy](https://sealname.com/disclosure-policy/)** — Your data only goes out on a Panamanian court order, plus the ICANN duties of every registrar, and how you are told.
- **[Transparency report](https://sealname.com/transparency/)** — Every request counted each quarter. First report January 2027.
- **[Abuse policy](https://sealname.com/abuse/)** — What leads to suspension, how to report, and how fast we act.

## What does Sealname never do?

- We never sell your data and never use it for marketing.
- We never ask for an ID document, a selfie, an ID or tax number, a date of birth, a phone number, a postal address, or card and bank details.
- We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat.
- We never register your domain in our own name unless you choose the paid [Registered in our name](https://sealname.com/registered-in-our-name/) option, and you can take it back in your name any time, free.
- We never charge an exit fee: the transfer code is free, from your account, at any time.
- We never publish a figure we cannot back: the [transparency report](https://sealname.com/transparency/) will show real counts from January 2027, and nothing before.

## About Sealname: FAQ

### Who runs Sealname?

DomaineGoat LLC, an ICANN-accredited registrar incorporated in Panama. As an accredited registrar, it follows ICANN's 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement: email verification, data escrow, abuse handling and published privacy-service terms. The [terms of service](https://sealname.com/legal/terms/) and the [privacy policy](https://sealname.com/legal/privacy/) name it as the company you contract with.

### Is Sealname a proxy service like Njalla?

No. By default, Sealname is a privacy service: you are the registrant of record, and only the public record shows our contact details instead of yours. A proxy service registers the domain in its own name and licenses it to you. Per Njalla's terms as quoted on Privacy Guides in 2023, Njalla uses that proxy model unless the customer asks otherwise.

### Does Sealname ignore abuse reports?

No. Real abuse is handled: phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension, and reports go to abuse@sealname.com with no account needed. What we refuse is a takedown on a complaint alone: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP, as ICANN requires of every registrar.

### Why does Sealname not sell every extension?

Because some registries make privacy impossible. The .us registry bans privacy services, some registries check identity documents, and others require a local presence. Selling them would break our promise. We sell 130 extensions, and the [privacy index](https://sealname.com/tld-rules/) explains every other one with its source.

### Why crypto only?

Because it lets you pay without giving card or bank details. We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). You top up a prepaid balance, minimum $25, then register, renew or transfer from it. Monero is not accepted. Crypto transactions are public on their blockchains, so pay from a wallet you control.

### Where can I check your prices and rules?

On public pages that anyone can read and quote. Prices are on the [pricing page](https://sealname.com/pricing/) and in [pricing.json](https://sealname.com/pricing.json). Extension rules are in the [privacy index](https://sealname.com/tld-rules/). Data handling is on [data we collect](https://sealname.com/data-we-collect/), and disclosure on the [disclosure policy](https://sealname.com/disclosure-policy/). The [official facts page](https://sealname.com/llm-info/) sums them up.
