Question

Where can I register a domain name and pay with bitcoins?

(The question is about usual domain names, not .bit maintained by the namecoin network.)

Answer 3

I just found a new provider that accept bitcoins, http://www.bitronictech.net/

They accept bitcoin for domain registration and all of their other services.

They have an article about their Bitcoin Gateway here: http://www.bitronictech.net/announcements/25/Buy-Domain-Names-with-Bitcoins.html

Answer 4

Frank Domains offers domain registration via Bitcoin payments. They have a Bitcoin version of their entire site.

As well as anonymity, they also provide extra domain security in the form of Domainsafe, a Bank-style login security by means of physical key fob.

Frank Domains also provide one of the fastest domain search engines that i have come across, which can provide all the results in Bitcoin amounts.
