Everything you need to know about Unregistry's domain services and partnerships
General Questions
What is Unregistry?
Unregistry is an enterprise domain registry platform that provides subdomain registration services across multiple premium TLD extensions. We offer both traditional domains (com.store, com.film, com.bond, org.onl) and Web3 blockchain domains (.u) with integrated @u handle systems. Our platform serves registrars, DNS providers, and enterprise clients with comprehensive API access and wholesale pricing.
How do subdomain registrations work?
Subdomain registrations work similarly to traditional domain registrations. When you register a subdomain like "yourname.com.store", you get full control over that subdomain including:
Complete DNS management capabilities
Ability to point to any IP address or hosting provider
Email configuration with MX records
SSL certificate support
Full ownership rights for the registration period
The main difference is that these are subdomains under our premium TLD extensions, offering unique branding opportunities at competitive prices.
What TLD extensions does Unregistry offer?
Unregistry offers a comprehensive portfolio of premium TLD extensions:
Standard Extensions: org.onl, site.onl, app.onl, bio.onl, wiki.onl, store.onl
Web3 Domains: .u (blockchain-based with NFT integration)
Each extension is carefully selected to provide specific branding and industry-focused opportunities.
How long are domain registrations valid?
Domain registrations are typically valid for one year from the date of registration. You can also register domains for multiple years (up to 10 years) to lock in current pricing and ensure long-term ownership. All domains include:
Auto-renewal options to prevent accidental expiration
60-day renewal grace period after expiration
Transfer lock protection
WHOIS privacy protection (where applicable)

What's the difference between Registrar and Provider partnerships?
We offer two types of partnerships:
Registrar Partners: Resell domains to end customers. Get wholesale pricing, API access, and can set your own retail prices. Perfect for web hosts, agencies, and domain resellers.
Provider Partners: DNS infrastructure providers who want to offer premium domains to their hosting customers. Includes revenue sharing, white-label options, and technical integration support.
Both partnership types have access to our full domain portfolio and technical support.
