The Managed Way To Replace Google Domains

Not quite, because we also secure your names, not just register them. Every name we manage sits behind registrar lock, two-factor authentication, and DNSSEC where the registry supports it. Hijacking a locked domain means defeating Cloudflare account security rather than guessing a password on a reseller panel.

We unlock the domain and send you the authorization code, and you move it wherever you want. There is no exit fee, no notice period, and no waiting time beyond what the registry itself requires. Because the registrant record is already in your name, nothing about ownership needs renegotiating. We would rather you leave cleanly than feel stuck.

Cloudflare sells domains at the wholesale registry fee and adds no markup, which is unusual. Registration and renewal cost the same, so there is no cheap first year that quadruples later. It also includes WHOIS privacy, DNSSEC, and SSL at no charge, where most registrars bill separately for each. That combination means the price we quote you is close to the true cost of the name.

Partly. Cloudflare Registrar requires domains registered there to use Cloudflare nameservers, so the apex of the domain resolves through Cloudflare. That is a platform requirement rather than a policy of ours. If you run DNS elsewhere, on DigitalOcean for example, we can delegate a subdomain to your nameservers so those records stay under your control. The apex itself cannot be pointed away.

With us it should not, because we watch the dates and confirm each renewal cleared rather than trusting an automated email. If a payment does fail, we catch it inside the registry grace period and fix it. Left unattended, an expired domain moves into a redemption period where recovery costs well over a hundred dollars, and after that it drops and anyone can register it.

Yes, subject to what the registrar supports. The management fee stays the same regardless of the extension. The registry cost does not: a .ai or .io can cost several times what a .com does, and some registries require multi-year registration. We quote you the actual registry price before registering anything unusual, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives.

Yes, and that is how most clients start. You send us the list of what you own, we look up where each name currently sits and when it expires, and we transfer them in. Domains registered in the last sixty days cannot be transferred under registry rules, so those wait until the window opens. We track them in the meantime.

Registrar lock is on for every domain we manage, which blocks unauthorized transfer attempts at the registry level. The account itself requires two-factor authentication and is limited to our team, so there is no shared password in a document or tied to a former employee’s email. DNSSEC is enabled where the registry supports it, which stops forged responses to lookups for your domain.

Yes, at no extra charge on every eligible domain. Your name, address, phone number, and email stay out of the public WHOIS database, replaced by privacy service details. That cuts down the spam and cold calls that follow a new registration, and it keeps your home address off a public record if you registered the domain as a sole proprietor.

Yes. This comes up often with agencies handing a site over at the end of an engagement. We unlock the domain, generate the authorization code, and pass it to whoever is taking over. If the new owner wants to stay with us instead, we can move it to their own account and billing without the domain ever leaving the registrar.
