Fees on the Bitcoin network has been sky-rocketed recently and this spurred interest in how to optimize fees on Bitcoin. In this article I will show how to register a private domain name and pay with Bitcoin Lightning with as low as 2 cent fee.
Actually, Lightning payment option has been functional on our website for quite some time already but why to bother when on-chain payments work fine? Now you have the reason.
Registration and domain search
First, create an account at: https://client.yohost.org/register.php. We do not require any personal information besides E-Mail to keep your privacy safe.
After registration is complete you will be auto-logged in. Now you can proceed to the private domain name search from the home page.
If you domain is available, you will see the following message:
- Add to Cart
- Checkout
- Enter DNS settings for your domain. If you want to use a third-party DNS service, enter them here. If no or you simply do not know what this is about, leave it as this. Your domain will be pre-configured to use our DNS service.
- Continue (Lightning fans promo code can be found somewhere in the article 😉
- Checkout
- Select Bitcoin as a payment option
