Billing DomReg FAQs

How much does a domain registration cost?

The cost of each domain extension can be found on the Domain Registration Terms page.

Some registrars only offer discounted prices if you register multiple domains at once, or register domains for several years in advance. However, DreamHost does not have any bulk requirements for domain registrations. So, even if you register just a single domain for only one year, you won’t pay any more than the listed price.

If you add an annual Shared Starter, Shared Unlimited, or any annual DreamPress plan to your account, you are also provided with a free credit that you can use toward qualifying TLDs for the first year of hosting. View the following article for a list of domains this applies to:

When do I pay for a domain registration?

All purchases of a domain registration require immediate payment. Manual renewals also require immediate payment. For domain registrations set to autorenew, payment is automatically applied to your AutoPay card on file 31 days before domain expiration.

How can I pay for a domain registration?

Renewals and new domain registrations can only be processed via a major credit card or through the use of a credit balance on the account.

That said, you can prepay to your account using Paypal or a check sent in advanced so that the account is left with a credit balance.

Registrations are generally non-refundable. However, some TLDs can possibly be refunded within 5 days of the registration date. Please submit a support ticket to inquire if the domain registration is available for a refund.

Yes. DreamHost sends notifications to the email address you registered when creating your account. Only the primary account email address will receive the notices so if you have created privileged users on your DreamHost account, they will not receive any notices even if they have access to billing.

You own the rights to your domain, so you can sell it to anyone you like. Once you have a buyer who is willing to purchase your domain, transferring ownership is as simple as transferring the registration to the buyer's registrar.
