What MonstaDomains is
MonstaDomains is a domain reseller that takes payment only in cryptocurrency, including Monero, and includes WHOIS privacy with registrations; it also sells SSL certificates and a third-party VPN. Its registration agreement says it does not require government-issued identification to open an account or register a domain, and its privacy policy lists government ID among the data it does not collect. The same agreement notes that some TLDs carry registry eligibility or documentation requirements, that registrant email verification under ICANN rules must be answered within 15 days, and that the service responds to lawful, narrowly scoped legal process. No operating company is named on the pages reviewed; registrations run through upstream registrars named in the agreement.
