Terms of Service Review
OrangeWebsite generally avoids KYC, but payment providers BitPay and Coinpayment may request KYC. They comply with Icelandic law and court orders, potentially disclosing information with a valid Icelandic court order.
Email Responsibility
You are responsible for providing and maintaining a current and accurate email address not tied to the domains you are signing up under. Providing false contact information may lead to account termination.
Content Restrictions
Content is regulated by Icelandic law. OrangeWebsite will comply with Icelandic court orders to remove or disable access to material deemed defamatory, infringing, false, or illegal. Prohibited content includes child pornography, terrorism support, hate speech, doxxing, and illegal drug sales.
Account Security
You are responsible for securing scripts/programs, directory permissions, and using secure passwords. Weak passwords may lead to account suspension until a stronger password is used.
Online Pharmacy Policy
Services cannot be used for illegal drug sales. OrangeWebsite acts on LegitScript notices and may suspend and permanently lock online pharmacy domains without prior notice. These domains cannot be transferred until LegitScript clears them.
Prohibited Activities
Using services for network scanning, stress testing, brute-force testing, phishing, scamming, carding, or hosting counterfeit currency will result in immediate suspension/termination without notice.
Refund Restrictions
Certain payment methods (Bank Wire, Checks, Cryptocurrency, Money orders) are non-refundable and will be credited to the hosting account. Transaction fees for refunds will be deducted.
Cryptocurrency KYC
When using BitPay or Coinpayment for cryptocurrency payments, these providers reserve the right to request KYC.
Domain Registrar Choice
For most domains, they use InternetBS registrar in the Bahamas, which facilitates anonymous domain registration through their platform, except for certain country-code TLDs.
Dedicated Server Privacy
OrangeWebsite respects client privacy and never accesses dedicated servers without upfront permission.
Information Disclosure Policy
OrangeWebsite will not disclose subscriber information to law enforcement or other agencies without a valid Icelandic court order. Identity verification (e.g., PayPal transaction ID) is required for access.
Payment Verification for Cancellation
To cancel services, you must provide your latest PayPal transaction ID or similar to verify identity. This process reduces fraudulent requests.
ISNIC Domain Privacy
For ‘.is’ domains, you can use your personal NIC or OrangeWebsite’s NIC for enhanced privacy. However, ISNIC can require removal of privacy protection.

Would never buy anything from the company that uses AI for the design. That probably applies to other parts of this company as well.
I’ve been using them for 3 years. They always answer my questions in detail and are super helpful. Definitely a great registrar. I haven’t used their hosting, mostly just bought domains from them.
