*📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Dotology is an independent, privately held ICANN-accredited registrar operating under DOT Holding, Inc., with a clear emphasis on making domain registration and small-site hosting approachable. They position themselves as a one-stop shop for "the study of domain names," pairing a broad TLD catalog with entry-level shared hosting, website builder tools, email, SSL, and basic site security. Their platform and support are U.S.-based.

Domains & DNS

They sell and transfer a large range of TLDs (legacy and new gTLDs) with transparent pricing and bulk search. WHOIS privacy is offered as "Dotology Privacy/Direct Privacy," which replaces public WHOIS contact data with a Metairie, Louisiana forwarding address and proxy email while keeping registrants as legal owners. Nameserver management and contact handles are handled inside the Dotology dashboard, with default nameservers available and easy updates after purchase.

Shared Hosting (Linux/cPanel)

Hosting is traditional Linux shared hosting managed through cPanel. A single, simple plan structure is promoted, plus two "bundles" that include a domain, privacy, email, SSL, SiteLock scanning, and a drag-and-drop SiteBuilder. Core hosting features include Installatron one-click apps (WordPress, Drupal, ZenCart, MediaWiki, and more), POP3/webmail, FTP/SFTP, MySQL, addon/sub/parked domains, and up to 50 email lists. They are explicit about avoiding "unlimited" marketing language and publish an indicative feature set: 5 GB disk, 100 GB transfer, 50 POP3 mailboxes, 10 MySQL databases, and up to 3 hosted domains. Nameservers for hosted domains use ns1.dotology.net and ns2.dotology.net.

Website Builder & Email

The SiteBuilder tool targets small and micro-businesses with template-based editing. Email hosting is bundled with hosting and the bundles, providing branded mailboxes tied to the customer’s domain and webmail access, with configuration guides in the knowledge base.

SSL & Security

SSL options range from single-domain Domain Validation (RapidSSL) to EV (True BusinessID EV) and Wildcard SSL, each with up to 256-bit encryption, browser ubiquity, and a 30-day vendor money-back on the certificate itself. SiteLock scanning is included in bundles to help detect malware and display a trust badge.
