Fair pricing for domains
Today, domains have become a commodity – if you choose to have an online presence, you need a domain name. That’s why we have our fair pricing policy for domain name registrations – so that anyone can purchase a domain at a fair and low price.
Our company values have always mandated that we provide top quality services at a fair cost to you – our clients.
Each of our shared hosting accounts can have one domain at the price we pay. Additional domains ( ex. domains parked to a hosting account ), standalone domains ( domains not associated with a hosting account), and domains hosted on our SmartVPS account are sold at the price we pay plus the average transaction fees for the payment.
Domain registrations, renewals, and transfers all follow the same fair pricing policy.
Free WHOIS Privacy protection
All .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ and .INFO domains get free WHOIS privacy protection from us. The WHOIS privacy service protects you from having your domain registration details publicly available through the WHOIS database. We replace all the details you submitted to the WHOIS database with legitmate details of our own. The listed email addresses are operational and will forward any emails back to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Billing and Management
There are minimum costs for registration of a domain name. They are mandated by the registry of the domain name, and by our registrar partners. Every shared hosting account is eligible to one domain paid at the same price we pay to our registrar. For additional domains (ex. parked domains), standalone domains (domains not associated with a Silver Spruce Hosting account ), and domains hosted on a SmartVPS account, you pay the same price we pay including the average online transaction fees
We make no profit from domain name sales. We believe that a domain name is a commodity item, and everyone should be able to easily get one at a fair price. However, there are costs we must cover for each domain name registration:
– the actual price of the domain name
– the transaction fees that must be paid for the processing of your payment.
We offer one domain per shared hosting account at the price we pay to the registrar. Additional domains (for example domains parked to a hosting account), standalone domains (these are domains not associated with a hosting account), and domains hosted on a SmartVPS account are sold at the price we pay plus the average transaction fees for the payment.
A certain domain could be more expensive to renew because it is considered premium by the registry.Following our policy for fair domain pricing, we don’t register premium domain names. However, since it is the registry that decides what constitutes a premium domain, an existing domain can be switched to a premium one, which will affect its renewal price as a result.
You can transfer any of the domains listed on this page.
We would recommend that you choose a domain name that is short, memorable, and easy to type. It should, of course, be related to your business or personal interests. It is likely that the .COM domain name that you are after is already taken. This is why we offer a handful of other domain name TLDs that you can choose from.
The domain name registration and transfer fees are the same in most cases. For most domains, you also get a one-year renewal upon successful transfer.
Region-specific and Country-level TLDs ( .US, .CA, .CO.UK, .UK, .EU, .DE, .BG, .HK )
Yes, only persons, companies, and organizations registered (or residing) in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway can register .EU domains.
Country-level domain names usually have some geographical restriction.
No. Proxy registrations are a questionable practice that endangers any business/individual relying on it. That’s why we have decided not to offer it.
It has become difficult to find a good .COM domain since most of them have already been taken. You can usually register a shorter and better country-level domain. In most countries, a region-specific domain name may give your business additional credibility.
Technical
Before the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into power on May 25, 2018, domains were required to have publicly available contacts. This meant that the contact details of every registered domain were publicly available through the WHOIS service. With the GDPR this changed and the WHOIS details are no longer visible. They are still recorded in the registry database and may be provided to an eligible third-party organization.
The WHOIS privacy service protects you from having your personal details submitted to any other party, by replacing them with our own. Additionally, our WHOIS privacy feature provides email forwarding, so you will still be able to get important notices for your domain name.
We offer free DNS services for most domain names registered with us. You can set up A, CNAME, SRV, MX, MXE, IFRAME, TXT, or URL Redirect records. This service is not available for .BG, .HK, .DE, and .EU domain registrations.
We take advantage of all protection mechanisms provided by the upstream registrar. COM domains, for instance, are locked by default and protected with an EPP code. In addition, you can enable 2-Factor-Authentication for our management panel, giving you additional level of security.
This depends on the specific TLD and sponsoring registrar of your domain, as they all follow different rules. For the majority of domain names that we offer, there is a “grace” period of approximately 30 days after their expiration, during which they can still be renewed by their owners at their regular prices – these TLDs are .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .US, .CA, .HK, .COM.HK, .NET.HK, .ORG.HK, .IDV.HK, and .EDU.HK. For .EU domains, this phase is called “Quarantine,” and lasts for 40 days. On the other hand, .DE domain names are either renewed automatically, or not at all, so they lack a typical grace period.
Please note that “grace” periods are not guaranteed by registrars, and this is why we strongly advise our customers to renew their domain names prior to their expiration date.
Following this period, domain names could enter another status, usually referred to as Redemption Grace Period, or as Blackout for all .HK-based TLDs. During this period, domains can still be recovered, but at a higher cost. For .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .US, .CA, and .DE domain names, renewing during the redemption phase involve an additional fee of $80 USD, while .HK, .COM.HK, .NET.HK, .ORG.HK, and .EDU.HK domains can be renewed for an additional fee of $200 HKD. .IDV.HK domain names can be renewed for an additional fee of $100 HKD, and .EU domains lack a redemption phase altogether.
