How Winry works, what it costs, and what happens to your site and domain. Something missing? Email [email protected].
A fast way to get a token's website online. Pick a domain, drop in your site files, pay in SOL. We register the domain, host the site with HTTPS, and it's live within minutes.
Meme coin and token creators who need a site on launch day. Pay for as long as you need, renew while the token's still going, and take it down when it's not.
No. Your wallet is your account: the wallet that pays owns the site. Sign in with it any time to see My Sites. Signing in is free and doesn't send a transaction.
Any Solana wallet that supports the Wallet Standard, such as Phantom, Solflare and Backpack.
Our picks for token sites come first: .fun, .com, .xyz, .io, .lol, .wtf, .app and more. "Show more" lists hundreds of others. You can also type a full domain to check it.
Winry registers the domain and holds it for you while your site is paid for. That's what lets us set up DNS, HTTPS and hosting automatically, with nothing for you to configure, which is why it stays in Winry's account. When you stop renewing, it's released for anyone to register, including you.
Your domain stays with Winry while your site is paid for. When the term ends without a renewal, Winry lets it go. Once the registry frees it up, which can take a few weeks, anyone can register it at any registrar, including you.
No. We only host sites on domains we registered, so we can set everything up automatically and keep it secure.
The name is already registered, reserved by the registry, or a "premium" name priced far above normal. We don't sell premium names.
No. Domains are registered by Winry, under our own account and contact details, with WHOIS privacy turned on. We never ask for your name or address.
Yes. Pick up to 10 years when you launch, all in one payment. You can add more years any time after that, as long as your site isn't paid more than 10 years ahead.
The domain's price for the years you pick, plus the $29 launch fee for each year. That covers the domain and hosting for the whole term. Updating your site is free.
Many extensions have a cheap first year set by the registry, and a higher yearly price after that. Search shows both: first year and renewal. When you renew, you pay the registry's current price for the years you add, plus the same $29 fee per year. Checkout always shows the exact total before you pay.
In SOL only, from your wallet, in one approval. The price is converted to a single SOL amount at checkout.
No. Your wallet opens with the exact amount filled in, and you just approve it. The price is held for 5 minutes. If your payment lands after that, or you pay twice by accident, the SOL is refunded to your wallet automatically.
It's rare, but someone else can grab the same name in the minutes between your search and your payment, or the registry can refuse it. Either way, you get everything you paid back, launch fee included, to the wallet that paid. It happens automatically.
A folder, loose files or a .zip with an index.html, or an npm project with a build script (Vite, React, Astro, a Next.js static export and similar). We build it for you and host the result.
Anything that needs a running server: server-rendered Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit or Remix, Express apps, databases, or server-side API keys. Winry hosts static sites only.
Up to 50 MB in total, uncompressed, of which at most 20 MB can be files other than images. Up to 20,000 files. Folders like node_modules and .git are ignored automatically.
In My Sites, drop the new files onto your site. Updates are free and unlimited. If an update fails, the previous version stays live. The exception is a build that goes over our time or resource limits: that takes the site offline until you upload a version that works.
Setup takes a few minutes after payment. The wait after that is DNS: a brand-new domain has to be picked up by DNS servers around the internet before it points to your site, which usually takes 5 to 30 minutes. HTTPS switches on as soon as it does. The progress screen shows each step, and you can close it: setup keeps running, and the site shows up in My Sites.
Yes, automatically, on every site.
Pages are cached for speed and refreshed after every update. If you still see the old version after a few minutes, do a hard refresh.
They're deleted automatically after 3 hours.
As long as your domain is paid for. You pick how many years when you launch, and renewing adds more. My Sites shows your domain's expiry date and the days left. The date turns amber 30 days before the end and red at 7.
In My Sites, click Renew on your site any time before it expires, and pick how many years to add. Renewals close 2 days before the paid term ends, so don't leave it to the last minute.
When your domain's paid term ends, your site is deleted: files, DNS and certificate. There's no grace period. Winry releases the domain, and once the registry frees it up, anyone can register it.
In My Sites, click Take down. Its files are deleted right away and can't be restored, not even by renewing. The domain stays registered until the paid term ends. There's no refund for the time left.
Winry hosts token sites; what happens to the token is up to you. We don't watch trading, bundles, supply or price, and a token going to zero is never a reason to take a site down. We only look at the site itself, which can't contain phishing, wallet drainers, malware, impersonation of other projects, or anything illegal. Sites like that are taken down without a refund. See the Terms.
Email [email protected] with the site's address and what's wrong with it. We'll look into it and take the site down if it breaks the rules.
Yes. Its official contract address is shown on our homepage under Token. Trading fees support Winry's development. Only trust the address shown on winry.tools.
Email [email protected]. Include your site's domain and the wallet you paid with.
