Name.com

What Name.com does

Name.com is a Denver-based, ICANN-accredited domain registrar founded in 2003 and operating as a subsidiary of Identity Digital. It manages approximately 2.6 million domains across 600+ TLDs and has evolved from a pure registration business into a one-stop online presence platform for entrepreneurs. The core offering—domain search, registration, transfer, renewal, bulk operations, and aftermarket—is now extended with proprietary and reseller products spanning professional email (Titan Email, Google Workspace), website building (Wix, Hopp, One-Page Website Builder), hosting (Cloud Hosting on DigitalOcean, Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting), and security (SSL, Sitelock, Domain Safe Pro).

Underlying the platform is an AI-ready API stack supporting MCP (Model Context Protocol) and OpenAPI standards, with documented endpoints for domain search, registration, transfer, DNS, and WHOIS, plus token management and a reseller dashboard. Distribution combines direct self-serve e-commerce on name.com with embedded integrations into four major developer platforms—Bolt, Netlify, Replit, and Vercel—announced in December 2025, positioning the company as infrastructure for AI-driven and developer-led site creation. Pricing is unit-based for domains (e.g., .com $12.99 reg / $17.99 renewal; .io $53.99 / $79.99) and subscription-based for hosting ($6-$11+/month) and email ($2-$6.99/user/month for Titan; $3.50-$9.33/user/month for Google Workspace).

Revenue is generated across six streams—domain registration (subscription/recurring via renewals), email, hosting, website building (Wix resells), SSL/security, and premium/aftermarket domains (one-time)—with primary customer segments being entrepreneurs, developers (newly emphasized), and domain investors. The company's go-to-market is hybrid: self-serve for SMBs/individuals, developer API and platform embeds for mid-market technical buyers, and reseller channels (Wix, Google Workspace) for bundled offerings. Brand positioning centers on trust, simplicity, and an "enduring brand for entrepreneurs," supported by 24/7 support and free Whois privacy with every domain.
