About .bid
Bid names the act of offering a price rather than the sale itself, narrower than auction, and .bid is used by procurement platforms, tender and contract-bidding sites, and occasionally consumer auction sites. It reads most naturally on a site where visitors submit a number rather than browse a catalog.
Suits: Procurement platforms, tender-bidding sites, and online auction services.
It is one of 33 retail and commerce endings in the catalog.
What a .bid costs
$60 a year. One flat shelf price in dollars, drawn from your credit balance — there is no first-year discount that triples at renewal, and no fee for the privacy, because the name is registered in our name by default rather than as a paid extra.
The catalog lands on 5 price bands, and .bid sits in the $60 one alongside 122 other endings. 19 endings are cheaper and 246 cost more.
| Term | Price | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | $60 | $60 |
| 2 years | $120 | $60 |
| 3 years | $180 | $60 |
| 5 years | $300 | $60 |
| 10 years | $600 | $60 |
DNS on the name is included and never billed. This registry supports DNSSEC.
Registering a .bid anonymously
Offbook never asks who you are. Opening an account takes an email address you invent, a password and an invite code — no legal name, no address, no phone number, no card and no identity documents. Funding is crypto, so no bank or processor is in a position to demand them.
The .bid is then held in our name rather than yours, so the public record has nothing of yours to show. You keep operational control of the name — DNS, renewals and where it points — from the desk or through the API. Read more on anonymous domain registration.
If .bid is taken
Nothing cheaper in this category
.bid is the least expensive commerce ending we sell. The full catalog is sorted by price if you want to go lower still.
Similar endings at a similar price
Nothing on file. Nothing to leak.
An email you invent, an invite code, and crypto. That is the entire relationship.
