Knowing who runs each one tells you how it renews, what it allows and what can change. - **[The island domain index](https://pearlcay.com/island-domains/ "Which domain extensions belong to islands?")** — Every extension we sell, with its island or country, registry, technical operator and minimum term, in one table you can cite. - **[Domain hacks](https://pearlcay.com/domain-hacks/ "What is a domain hack?")** — 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](https://pearlcay.com/ai-domain-two-year-minimum/ "Why is a .ai domain sold for at least 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](https://pearlcay.com/ai-domain-cost-over-10-years/ "How much does a .ai domain cost 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 1. **Search the name** — Type the name with its ending. Most registries answer live; .io, .gg and a few others confirm availability when you order. 2. **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. 3. **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](https://pearlcay.com/ai-domain-two-year-minimum/ "Why is a .ai domain sold for at least 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. **Find your two letters** A .ai at $86.99/year, a .io at $35.99/year, a .gg at $57.99/year. No ID, paid in crypto.
