1. Open the provider site

   Everything happens on tezos.domains - we count the click, nothing else changes for you.

2. No ID check documented

   KYC is documented as none as of 2026-10-02. Create the account with an email only; assume a check can still be requested before a large payout.

3. Pick the smallest unit that still works

   Price from $0.980 per year, minimum $0.980 - start with the minimum, not with the plan the checkout page pushes.

4. Pay

   Accepted: XTZ. Check the network and the deposit address inside your account, never from an email.

5. Read the term before you sign

What "legit" does not mean

A real, operating provider can still lose you money: with a contract you own no hardware, revenue follows coin price and difficulty, and most published contracts are priced so the seller comes out ahead. "Legit" means the operator exists and pays what its terms promise - not that the deal is profitable. 16 dated sources back this page; they are listed under sources.
