Quick answer
Can I register a .to domain in your company's name?
Yes: you can register a .to domain in our name at NomineeName. The registrant is DomaineGoat LLC, incorporated in Panama, so the registrant record and WHOIS/RDAP show the company, never you. As of October 2026, .to costs $59.99/year, nominee registration included. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private — and you pay in crypto.

Who registers .to in a company's name?
A .to is used for short links, domain hacks that read as a word, and emoji domains. Link shorteners and redirect services run on it. Its registry runs no public WHOIS database at all, so holder data is not published. The holder still has to give details to the registry. In our model, those are our company's.
What the .to registry receives, what WHOIS shows, what we keep
| Who | What they get for your .to domain |
|---|---|
| Government of the Kingdom of Tonga, H.R.H. Crown Prince Tupouto'a, c/o Consulate of Tonga | DomaineGoat LLC as holder, with the company's address. Nothing about you. |
| Public WHOIS / RDAP | The company as registrant, or fields the registry redacts. Never your name. |
| NomineeName | Your verified email and your orders. The email never goes to the registry. |
| You | Beneficial owner: DNS, renewals and the transfer code (free, from your account, at any time). |
What does the .to registry ask of a holder?
.to is the country code of Tonga. The registry is listed as the Government of the Kingdom of Tonga, care of the Consulate of Tonga. It has no residence condition. It prohibits spam and some vulgar words in names. Since there is no public WHOIS, privacy is handled by the registry itself, but the registry still keeps a holder record. That record names our company, never you.
What should you check before registering .to?
- No DNSSEC: .to is one of six extensions with no DS record in the root zone. DNSSEC signing is not available.
- Minimum term: some sources state a 2-year minimum for .to. This is not verified; the client area shows the term at order.
- Short links: phishing through redirects leads to suspension.

Frequently asked questions
Does .to have a public WHOIS?
No. The .to registry runs no public WHOIS database. The holder data still exists at the registry. On a NomineeName .to, that data is our company's, so even the registry's own record does not hold your name or address.
Can I use a .to for a link shortener?
Yes, it is a common use. Keep the service clean: redirects to phishing or malware pages lead to suspension of the domain on a well-documented report. Spam is also against the registry's own rules.
Can I use emoji or accents in a .to name?
Our data shows IDN support for .to, and the extension is known for emoji domains. Whether a given character is accepted is decided by the registry. Test the exact name in the search box: the client area tells you before you pay.
Who owns a .to domain held in your name?
DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner, under a written agreement in our terms. Your transfer code: free, from your account, at any time. The hand-back of the .to name to you is free, on request to support from your verified email address. It works where the registry accepts you as holder.
Can a complaint take my .to domain down?
Not on its own: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court. The strict exceptions have fixed delays: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately. See the abuse policy.
