About .cyou
Cyou is a generic ending designed to be read as the sign-off see you, a pun rather than a real word, aimed at informal, social, or farewell-themed branding. It has also drawn attention from security researchers, who have repeatedly listed it among the endings with the highest concentrations of phishing and malicious domains in annual abuse reports. Legitimate use of the wordplay is a small fraction of total registrations.
Suits: Informal or social-branded sites using the wordplay literally.
It is one of 20 informal and novelty endings in the catalog.
What a .cyou 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 .cyou 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 does not offer DNSSEC.
Registering a .cyou 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 .cyou 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.
