Costing to Register ENS
The domain names should be 3+ characters long and there are different pricing for 3, 4, 5 plus character names. ENS supports subdomains that we have full control of. One can transfer subdomains to others and even create registrars of our domains.
- One can create decentralized websites with the interplanetary file systems, viz IPFS. The files are stored there and can be accessed from the ENS name.
- By following the rules set by the register contracts, anyone can get domain ownership for their use.
- If one owns a domain at one level, subdomains can be easily configured.
- For example, if one owns bob.eth, then they can create pay.bob.eth and configure as per their choice.
What is Ethereum Name Service (ENS)?
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum addresses are harder than IP. Long hex addresses are almost impossible to remember. So the Ethereum name service was created. The job of ENS is to convert human-readable addresses like yourname.eth to machine-readable addresses like veryverylongname.hash.you… that have IP hashes, wallets, smart contracts, etc. The native name suffix is .eth. ENS Ecosystem has wallets like coin base wallets and mycrypto, apps like OpenSea and Etherscan, and browsers like Beacon and EthDNS. The goal is to make easy access to Ethereum-based web for humans similar to DNS.
