no, just a normal VISA debit card.

I have bought a lot of domains at Godaddy and Namecheap without any problems.

What do you mean by cybercurrency? Is there an option available at porkbun.com to buy domains using cybercurrency?

Sorry about the confusion. Meant to say cryptocurrency, which they do accept.
Sounds like it's an issue for their customer service to sort out.
Hope you get this resolved soon, as you sound very frustrated by it--especially since it was never a problem with those other marketplaces.

I have a feeling that porkbun is run only by 5 people or so.

If that is the case, that would actually be a good thing.

Interesting point. Why do you say that?

I am waiting for a response

Less employees = more accountability. I find whenever companies start expanding/outsourcing employees it turns out for a negative customer experience.

I like the personable, hands on feel that PB gives.

We’re a little more than 5 people, but we do have a small-but-mighty team and are pretty transparent about that. You can check us all out on our About Us page here: https://porkbun.com/about

We do try and stay nimble and personal as much as we can. We do have a number of anti-fraud and abuse mechanisms that sometimes catch a false positive, our support team is usually pretty good about clearing those up as they surface.

@blissgrin it sounds like you previously had a problem but as far as I can tell you've deleted all your posts, certainly if you're still having an issue feel free to reach out to support directly at [email protected] and we'll get it sorted.

The problem was sorted out. Thanks to awesome support provided by the team. They are very professional and reliable team. I will certainly continue to buy more domains from porkbun.

That's great to hear.

Wow, to hear such happiness from a registrar's customer support! Great job, Porkbun!

What happened to pricing on your landers? Have to scroll to almost bottom of page to see price. Like to see that above the fold, in the blue box where it says

Exámple1.oink
This domain is for sale
( where is price?)

Great setup btw, very easy to maneuver and customize each lander.

The above is on mobile, where the price and BIN button are the 3rd block down below
we've got you covered and got questions
On the pc the landing page looks perfect
I think it would look better on mobile if the 2 blocks on right were the first 2 under the blue for sale lander. Price is a long way from the for sale sign

.com domain sale!​

$7.98

First Year Price.
No Limits Per Customer. No Minimum Required.

We’re not OINKING around! New .com domain name registrations are only $7.98 each right now! That’s the lowest, no-strings attached .com price from any ICANN-accredited registrar. There’s no limit to this deal, so you can get all the .com domains you’ve been thinking about. This sale won’t last and when it’s gone, it’s gone, so don’t miss out.

Sale set to end March 31. Subject to change at any time.

REGISTER & SAVE
Edit: Unfortunately this promo has now ended.

Just want to chime in that Porkbun is one of my faves, I use them for any "personal" domains (family names and whatnot), and for names I develop. I have a great deal of trust with porkbun and it's nice and simple without a ton of annoying ads/upsells/all the sketchy stuff that makes people hate the "big guys".

If you're able to answer, and I understand if not, but does Porkbun ever run transfer promos? I would move a lot of names over if there was a $8 transfer sale, for example.

Thanks for the kind words! Transfer deals are a bit harder to come by, registries rarely offer promos on transfers and renewals and we don't build a lot of margin on top of registry pricing. ACH pricing get's .com transfers down to $9.22, that's basically our cost at that point. If you're not signed up for ACH be sure to email support!

That's not our WHOIS output, that is coming from the registry. See the part that says "Please query the RDDS service of the Registrar of Record identified in this output for information on how to contact the Registrant, Admin, or Tech contact of the queried domain name."? Do that and you'll see a URL that you can go to if you wish to contact the registrant.
