About .istanbul
The full-name geographic ending for Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, spelled out rather than abbreviated the way the parallel .ist ending is. It suits tourism boards, hotels, cultural institutions, and businesses that want the city name to read unambiguously rather than as a three-letter code.
Suits: Istanbul tourism, hotels, and cultural institutions.
It is one of 19 city and region endings in the catalog.
What a .istanbul 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 .istanbul 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 .istanbul 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 .istanbul 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.
