Claim NameSiloOVERVIEW
NameSilo is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar, IANA registrar ID 1479, based in United States, operating since 2010 (Arizona). Accreditation means it is authorised to register domains directly in gTLD registries rather than reselling through another registrar.
The accreditation is held through the legal entity NameSilo, LLC, which is how the company appears in ICANN and RDAP records.
This profile is unclaimed, so everything shown is drawn from the IANA registry and public records rather than from the company itself. The Disclosure section below tracks 17 owner facts, from .com renewal price to transfer-out fees, each marked Not disclosed until the registrar verifies and answers.

- Link a review presence (25+ Trustpilot or 10+ G2 reviews)
Four equal-weight components, 25 points each. Built from verified ownership, third-party reviews, disclosure coverage, and data recency. No paid influence.
