Domain registration
Register and transfer domains across 500+ TLDs
Find the right domain from an idea
Start with what youâre building. Your agent can use the DNSimple CLI to search for available domains, refine the options, and register the one you choose.
A dog daycare idea, combined with an agent using the DNSimple CLI, produces available domain suggestions and the registration of wagparty.com.
Your idea

Fun, friendly, playful

Great support when you need it
Big yes to DNSimple. Transferred a bunch of domains to them today. They also contacted me about an issue I had the other day. Just all round great people.
@filip
After years of using other DNS providers with mixed results and frustrating experiences, we switched to DNSimple for all our domain name registration and DNS needs. The user experience is so much better and support is top notch!
Jordan Knapp, Country Maid Inc.
Kudos to Ole. Was able to diagnose my problem with AWS CloudFront. DNSimple was working perfectly all along. Reliable service and support folks who fix my âother problemâ rather than just say, âitâs not usâ. A sincere âThank Youâ to you all.
