Eligibility and Fair Use
To maintain fairness and prevent automated abuse, RayName performs standard risk-control checks during checkout.
Orders should be placed through a normal residential or business internet connection.
Orders submitted through the following network environments may be automatically declined or require additional verification:
-
Anonymous proxy services
-
VPN masking services
-
Datacenter IP addresses
-
Other network anonymization tools
If an order is flagged, users can usually retry the purchase using their regular network connection.
These measures are intended to prevent automated bulk registrations while allowing legitimate users to participate normally.

Beginning in the second year, domains will renew at the standard retail price.
Current standard renewal price:
$11.65 per year
