Introduction
If you are comparing .CPA domain prices with other domain extensions or providers, you may notice that the cost is higher. This is expected. EnCirca is the only accredited registrar for .CPA domains, and the pricing is set by the registry, not by EnCirca.
Why .CPA domains cost more
The price of a .CPA domain is determined by the .CPA registry. EnCirca does not control or discount that registry pricing. Because .CPA is a specialized domain extension with eligibility requirements and limited registrar availability, its registration cost may be higher than many common domain extensions.
In contrast, many other domain extensions are offered by multiple registrars, which can create more pricing competition. With .CPA, EnCirca is the sole accredited registrar, so the price you see reflects the registry-set cost and the services required to support the extension.
What this means for customers
When you register a .CPA domain through EnCirca, you are paying the official registry price for that extension. The cost may appear higher than other providers or domain endings, but that difference is not due to additional markups from EnCirca.
This pricing model helps ensure that .CPA domains remain managed according to registry requirements and industry standards for the accounting profession.
