No ID: one verified email
Crypto only, no card
Renewal price shown upfront
Balance never expires
Every extension we sell, with its renewal
Prices per year. The renewal sits next to the first year, so the second invoice is never a surprise. According to Pearlcay's price check of 2 November 2026, Namecheap's renewal was higher than its first-year price on all 15 of these extensions; here, 14 of the 15 cost the same every year. A .ai is billed for at least 2 years, as its registry requires.

Small islands, short names
Of the 15 extensions Pearlcay sells, 11 belong to islands or island groups; only .co, .me, .so and .la are mainland countries. Knowing who runs each one tells you how it renews, what it allows and what can change.
Domain hacks
When the ending finishes the word: how names like these are built, and how to find one that is still free.
Why .ai takes 2 years
The .ai registry sells and renews in 2-year blocks. What that means for your first payment and every renewal.
A .ai over 10 years
The full cost of keeping a .ai for a decade, next to a .io and a .com, at our prices and at other registrars.
Register a short domain in three steps
Search the name
Type the name with its ending. Most registries answer live; .io, .gg and a few others confirm availability when you order.
Top up in crypto
Send BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC to the address shown at checkout. The top-up is the price of your cart, or $25 for a smaller cart.
Own it
The domain is registered in your name usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few island registries (.gg among them) can take up to a day to confirm a new name. DNS, forwarding and auto-renew are in your client area.
Quick questions
Why is a .ai sold for 2 years?
The .ai registry sets a minimum term of 2 years, for a first registration and for each renewal. At $86.99/year, the first order is twice that amount. See why .ai takes 2 years.
Do I need to show an ID?
No. You give one email address per domain, which is verified as ICANN rules require, and kept private. No ID document, no selfie, no ID number.
Who is behind Pearlcay?
DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama. It is not an ICANN-accredited registrar: domains are registered through our ICANN-accredited registrar partner, in your name.
Can a complaint take my domain down?
A complaint alone does not, for copyright, defamation, political or competitor disputes: we need a decision that binds us. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are acted on within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP.
Which coins can I pay with?
BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, from a prepaid balance (minimum top-up $25). Monero is not accepted. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it.
