# OrangeWebsite alternative for private domains > OrangeWebsite alternative (2026): .com at $12.99 vs €18.90, you stay the registrant, no ID, no KYC, paid in crypto. Dated, sourced price table. - URL: https://sealname.com/alternatives/orangewebsite/ - Last updated: 2026-10-08 - Publisher: Sealname (https://sealname.com) OrangeWebsite, based in Iceland, asks only for an email and accepts Monero. Here is how Sealname compares on price, holder of record and payment, as of October 2026. **Quick answer — What is a good OrangeWebsite alternative for domains?** **Sealname**, a private domain name registration service paid in crypto, is an OrangeWebsite alternative with lower prices and the domain in your own name. WHOIS privacy is included, with no ID and no KYC — only a verified email, kept private. A .com costs $12.99/year, versus €18.90 at OrangeWebsite as of October 2026. Unlike OrangeWebsite, Sealname does not accept Monero. ## Key facts (checked 8 October 2026) | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | OrangeWebsite base | Iceland | | Data OrangeWebsite asks for | "We only ask for a valid email address" (its home page) | | OrangeWebsite .com | €18.90 (its public price list) | | Sealname .com | $12.99/year, the same price to renew and to transfer | | Monero (XMR) | OrangeWebsite accepts it · Sealname does not | | Holder of record at Sealname | You, by default — or our company with the paid [Registered in our name](https://sealname.com/registered-in-our-name/) option (+$90/year) | ## OrangeWebsite vs Sealname, side by side Facts as of October 2026, per each provider's public pages or the sources listed at the bottom of this page. | | OrangeWebsite | Sealname | | --- | --- | --- | | Based in | Iceland | Panama (DomaineGoat LLC, an ICANN-accredited registrar) | | Data asked | A valid email address, per its home page | No sign-up form: a random 16-digit account number; one verified email per domain, never published | | Public WHOIS by default | Its own details (Techlore forum, secondary) | Our privacy service's details instead of yours, where the registry allows it | | Registrant of record | — | You | | Crypto accepted | BTC, LTC, ETH, BCH, XMR via BitPay and CoinPayments | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC | | Monero (XMR) | Yes | No | | Price currency | Euro | US dollar | | .com price | €18.90 | $12.99, first year and renewal | | When data is disclosed | Only on an Icelandic court order (SelfPrivacy forum, 23 June 2025, secondary) | Only on a Panamanian court order, or under ICANN duties (urgent requests on a threat to life, critical infrastructure or child exploitation, UDRP for trademarks, data escrow) — see the [disclosure policy](https://sealname.com/disclosure-policy/) | | Takedown on a complaint alone | — (not documented in the sources we checked) | No: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court; phishing, malware, botnets, CSAM and fraud that takes money from victims are suspended | | Transparency report | — | Quarterly; first report January 2027 | *Prices checked on October 8, 2026.* — = not stated in the sources we checked.

Sealname: US dollars, the same price for the first year, the renewal and a transfer, with WHOIS privacy included where the registry allows it. Full list on the [pricing page](https://sealname.com/pricing/). ## Why choose Sealname over OrangeWebsite? Price and clarity about ownership are the two main reasons. - **Lower prices.** As of October 2026, every Sealname price in the table above is lower than OrangeWebsite's. A .io costs $54.99 against €92.00. The euro was worth more than the dollar in 2026, so converting widens the gap. - **One price, every year.** The renewal and a transfer cost the same as the first year. There is no teaser price. - **The domain is yours.** You are the registrant of record, and the transfer code is free, from your account, at any time, with no exit fee. - **No ID, no KYC.** A random 16-digit account number is your login. Each domain needs one verified email, as ICANN requires, and it is never published. - **Published rules.** Our [disclosure policy](https://sealname.com/disclosure-policy/) and quarterly [transparency report](https://sealname.com/transparency/) say who can get your data, and how often it was asked. We sell only extensions that can be registered privately: 130 of them. The [domain privacy index](https://sealname.com/tld-rules/) explains the others. ## Who is the registrant of record at OrangeWebsite? We did not find it stated in the sources we checked. A Techlore forum thread reports that OrangeWebsite shows its own details in WHOIS by default. That tells you what the public sees. It does not tell you who the legal holder is. There are two possible models behind a masked WHOIS record: - **Privacy service:** you are the registrant of record, and the public sees the service's contact details. - **Proxy service:** the provider is the registrant of record and lets you use the domain. Under ICANN's registrar contract (RAA 2013, §3.7.7.3), a proxy holder accepts liability for wrongful use. It avoids that only by disclosing the user's details within 7 days, on reasonable evidence of actionable harm. Ask any provider in writing which model it uses. At Sealname, the answer is published: you are the registrant of record.

According to a SelfPrivacy forum post of 23 June 2025 (a secondary source), OrangeWebsite discloses data only on an Icelandic court order. Sealname's rule is of the same kind, and it is written on our own page: **your data only goes out on a Panamanian court order**. No foreign lawyer, private company or foreign government gets it without Panamanian legal process. We add what every ICANN-accredited registrar must do, so that nothing is hidden: trademark disputes follow the UDRP, whose provider receives the registrant details, and registration data is deposited with an escrow agent. We also publish our takedown rule: **no takedown on complaint alone** — copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court — with strict exceptions for phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims. You are notified before any disclosure, unless the Panamanian court order forbids it, and every request is counted in our quarterly transparency report, first due January 2027. ## When is OrangeWebsite the better choice? OrangeWebsite fits better in these cases: - **You want to pay in Monero or Bitcoin Cash.** OrangeWebsite lists XMR and BCH. Sealname accepts neither; see our [Monero page](https://sealname.com/monero/). - **You prefer Icelandic jurisdiction** and a disclosure rule tied to Icelandic court orders, as reported on the SelfPrivacy forum. - **You budget in euros.** OrangeWebsite prices are in euros; Sealname prices are in US dollars. If you mainly want the lowest price and a documented holder of record, Sealname is the better fit. ## How do I move a domain from OrangeWebsite to Sealname? Plan the move outside the short period after a registration or a transfer, when ICANN's Transfer Policy blocks a move to another registrar. 1. **Check who holds the domain** — Look the domain up at lookup.icann.org, and ask OrangeWebsite who is the registrant of record. If it is not you, ask OrangeWebsite to put the domain in your name. 2. **Unlock it and get the code** — Ask OrangeWebsite to unlock the domain and to give you its transfer code (auth or EPP code). 3. **Open a Sealname account** — No sign-up form: you get a random 16-digit account number as your login. Add one email for the domain; it is verified and never published. 4. **Top up in crypto** — Top up with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC (minimum $25). A .com transfer costs $12.99. 5. **Start the transfer** — In the client area, enter the domain and its code. Confirm the verification email within 15 days, as ICANN requires. ## Compare other private registrars - **[Njalla alternative](https://sealname.com/alternatives/njalla/)** — Proxy model, Monero, Costa Rica since late 2024. - **[1984 Hosting alternative](https://sealname.com/alternatives/1984/)** — Iceland, informs customers of authority requests, BTC and XMR. - **[FlokiNET alternative](https://sealname.com/alternatives/flokinet/)** — Iceland, Romania and Finland; secondary sources. - **[Incognet alternative](https://sealname.com/alternatives/incognet/)** — Wyoming, USA; holder of record not stated. - **[Best private registrars (2026)](https://sealname.com/compare/private-registrars/)** — Eight providers ranked on the same criteria. ## OrangeWebsite alternative: FAQ ### Does OrangeWebsite accept Monero? Yes. As of October 2026, its crypto page lists BTC, LTC, ETH, BCH and XMR, processed through BitPay and CoinPayments. Sealname does not accept Monero. We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), from a prepaid balance with a minimum top-up of $25. ### Is Sealname cheaper than OrangeWebsite? Yes, on every extension we compared. A .com costs $12.99 at Sealname versus €18.90 at OrangeWebsite, and a .io costs $54.99 versus €92.00 (October 2026). Sealname prices are in US dollars and stay the same at renewal. OrangeWebsite prices are in euros. ### What data does OrangeWebsite ask for? Its home page says: "we only ask for a valid email address". Sealname asks for even less to open an account: no sign-up form, just a random 16-digit account number. Each domain then needs one verified email, because ICANN requires registrars to verify it within 15 days. That email is never published. ### Who owns a domain registered at OrangeWebsite? We did not find it stated in the sources we checked. A Techlore forum thread reports that OrangeWebsite shows its own details in WHOIS by default, which describes the public record, not the legal holder. Ask OrangeWebsite in writing. At Sealname, you are always the registrant of record. ### Does OrangeWebsite disclose customer data? A SelfPrivacy forum post of 23 June 2025, a secondary source, says it discloses data only on an Icelandic court order. Sealname's written rule is similar: customer data goes out only on a Panamanian court order (or on an urgent request under ICANN rules), plus the ICANN duties of every registrar, such as the UDRP. You are notified before any disclosure, unless the Panamanian court order forbids it. ### How do I transfer a domain from OrangeWebsite to Sealname? Make sure the domain is in your name, unlock it and get its transfer code from OrangeWebsite. Then open a Sealname account, top up in crypto and start the transfer in the client area. Confirm the verification email within 15 days. A .com transfer costs $12.99. ### Where is Sealname based? Sealname is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, an ICANN-accredited registrar incorporated in Panama. Customer data goes out only on a Panamanian court order (or on an urgent request under ICANN rules); foreign authorities go through Panamanian legal process. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with DNS, transfers and renewals. ### Does Sealname offer WHOIS privacy on every extension? On every extension whose registry allows a privacy service, WHOIS privacy is included free. 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. Extensions where privacy is impossible are not sold. The [domain privacy index](https://sealname.com/tld-rules/) rates every extension Yes, No or "not with only an email". ## Sources 1.
