Submit your request

Complete the registration form with your contact and nameserver details.

3

Pay your invoice

We'll send a secure Stripe invoice to your email. Pay online in minutes.

A domain that stands apart

The .AX TLD offers a short, distinctive, globally recognized extension that's still available for a wide range of names.

  • Globally recognized

    Authorized by the Åland Islands registry and internationally recognized. Works in every browser, email client, and DNS resolver worldwide.

  • High availability

    Many desirable .AX names are still unregistered. Find the short, clean name you've always wanted.

  • Restricted registry

    Access requires an authorized registrar. We're one of only about 15 in the United States with full .AX registration rights. GoDaddy, Namecheap, and Network Solutions can't register .AX domains. We can.

  • Full DNS control

    Manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records through our control panel or point to your own nameservers.

FAQ

Common questions

How quickly will my domain be registered?

Once we receive payment confirmation from Stripe, we'll register your domain with the .AX registry within 24 hours. You'll receive an email confirmation when it goes live.

Why can't I see instant availability results?

The .AX registry doesn't offer a public WHOIS API for real-time lookups. We verify availability directly through our registry access and confirm via email before sending your invoice.

What happens if my desired domain is taken?

If the domain is already registered, we'll notify you immediately and you won't be charged. We'll also suggest available alternatives if we can identify them.

Can I transfer an existing .AX domain to you?

Yes. Contact us at info@xtclc.com to initiate a transfer. There's no transfer fee beyond the renewal cost.

Do you support DNSSEC?

Yes. DNSSEC signing is available for all domains managed on XTC nameservers. Custom nameserver setups can implement DNSSEC on your end.

Is payment secure?

All payments are processed via Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. We never store your card details. You'll receive an invoice link directly from Stripe.
