Pricing for subdomains and optional mail services
TUX.WF uses a simple and understandable pricing model. Longer hostnames are usually free, while shorter names are treated as premium or restricted resources.
This structure helps preserve high-quality names, reduce abuse and keep the namespace useful for real projects, communities, developers and individual users. In addition to subdomains, optional mail services are available through tuxmail.org and already start from 1 USD.
Quick overview
- ✓ 7+ character subdomains are often free
- ✓ Shorter names may be premium
- ✓ Very short names are restricted or blocked
- ✓ Mail options start from 1 USD via tuxmail.org
Subdomain pricing
Pricing is based primarily on hostname length. Longer names are generally easier to access, while shorter and more attractive names are limited and may carry a premium fee.
| Hostname length | Status | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 characters and more | Usually available | Free | Best option for many personal, technical and community projects. |
| 6 characters | Premium | 1 USD / year | Short, attractive names with a low premium entry point. |
| 5 characters | Premium | 2 USD / year | Useful for shorter branding and compact service names. |
| 4 characters | Premium | 3 USD / year | Higher-demand names with stronger scarcity. |
| 3 characters | Premium | 4 USD / year | Very short names with limited availability. |
| 2 characters | Restricted | 5 USD / year | Usually blocked, reserved or not generally available. |
| 1 character | Not available | 5 USD / year | System-level reserved namespace. |
Final availability depends on the selected zone, reserved names, administrative restrictions and existing registrations.
Why longer names are often free
Longer subdomains are usually easier to make available because they are less scarce and more flexible. This allows TUX.WF to offer many useful names at no cost while keeping the namespace accessible.
For many users, a 7+ character hostname is already ideal: it is memorable enough, easier to obtain and suitable for websites, home services, communities or development environments.
Why short names are premium or restricted
Very short hostnames are limited resources. They are easier to remember, more desirable for branding and more likely to be targeted by automated registrations or abuse.
A structured premium model helps protect these names, improve fairness and preserve valuable namespace resources for serious use cases.
Optional mail services via tuxmail.org
TUX.WF is designed as part of a broader ecosystem. In addition to subdomains and DNS-related services, users can also request mail options through tuxmail.org.
Mail options from 1 USD
Optional mailbox and mail-related services through tuxmail.org already start from 1 USD. This gives users a low entry point for combining DNS, naming and communication services in one connected environment.
This is useful for users who want more than a subdomain alone and prefer a more complete online identity.
Simple, clear and scalable
The pricing model is intentionally straightforward. It gives users a fair entry point with many free options, offers structured access to shorter premium names and supports future growth into related services such as mail.
