Palau ccTLD, open worldwide
Register a .pw domain
Register a .pw domain — Palau's ccTLD, rebranded in 2013 as "The Professional Web" and sold worldwide with no residency check. .pw is Palau's country code, but almost nobody buys it for Palau. Since the 2013 global relaunch under Directi (now Radix), anyone anywhere can register one, and the registry itself leans into the "pw" reading — professional, power, password — rather than the island nation it technically represents.
$51.40/yr
Renews at the same price. No tricks.
Privacy free
Who picks .pw?
- App and SaaS teams who want a two-letter hack like grow.pw or track.pw
- Buyers shut out of a decent .com who need an open, paperwork-free fallback
- Companies parking a redirect or campaign domain alongside their main .com
What it signals
Choosing .pw tells visitors you wanted a tight, product-sounding two-letter ending — the kind of domain hack SaaS founders reach for — not that you have any connection to Palau.
Pros
- Open worldwide since 2013 — no residency, license, or local contact needed
- The letters double as a hack for professional, power, or password
- Free WHOIS privacy plus fully configured SPF/DKIM/DMARC
- One flat renewal number, quoted up front, no teaser-rate switch
- Broad registrar and browser support compared to newer niche extensions
Watch-outs
- Still shaking off spam-filter baggage from its wide-open 2013 promotional era
- Carries none of the built-in geographic trust a country-targeted buyer might want
- Renewal quotes vary a lot by registrar, so it's worth cross-checking Modusdom's flat rate

Common questions about .pw domains
How much does a .pw domain cost?
A .pw domain is $51.40 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $51.40 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.
Does a .pw domain renew at the same price?
Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .pw stays $51.40/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.
Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .pw domain?
Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .pw domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.
Can I transfer an existing .pw domain to Modusdom?
Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.
