Overview

101domain is a registrar with corporate offices in Dublin, Ireland and Vista, California, focused on global coverage and brand protection. It is known for offering country-code domains that many retail registrars skip, and it sells a Domain Acquisition Service to help buy names that are already registered.

Its .com page lists a $14.99 registration, $19.99 renewal and $13.99 transfer, with terms of 1 to 10 years and instant registration. DNSSEC is supported, registry lock is available for .com, and private registration can be added to hide contact details. Detailed technical information, including supported IDN languages, is published for each extension.

Support is by phone on weekdays, with separate US and international lines. 101domain costs more than budget registrars for a single .com; its value is in handling large, international portfolios where registry lock, ccTLD access and acquisition help matter more than a few dollars per domain. Its per-extension pages are a useful reference even if you register elsewhere.
