Domain Registration in Benin — Porto-Novo
Domain registration for Benin is a name you buy for the first year in US dollars. Renewals can differ from that first-year price. WHOIS privacy is turned on where the registry behind .bj allows a masked contact. Buying .bj does not buy hosting. Point the name at a plan only after you own it.
Everyday prices in Benin are in XOF (CFA). The invoice is not. It is charged in US dollars and paid in USDT or USDC. Any CFA figure beside a price is approximate, not a second price and not a discount. Tron is usually the cheapest network for a small top-up. Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Base and Solana settle the same US-dollar invoice. From Porto-Novo, the card requirement that usually stops a foreign host does not apply. Pay from the wallet. The privacy rule is narrow and concrete: 100% privacy means no KYC and no card number retained. Data is not sold. The login email is kept so the account can be opened again.
