The short answer
The registry records Dynadot Domain Name Registration as a possible interpretation of DYNADOT* DOMAIN. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A billing entry marked DYNADOT* DOMAIN on your bank statement or credit card bill signifies a payment to Dynadot, LLC, an ICANN-accredited domain registrar and web hosting provider headquartered in San Mateo, California. When this line item appears on your financial statement, it represents an active Dynadot Domain Name Registration or associated web hosting services.
Unreviewed registry note: Most unexpected charges from Dynadot stem from automated domain name renewals. When you purchase a web address, registrars typically enable auto-renew by default so that business websites do not inadvertently expire and drop offline. Because domain registrations renew only once every twelve months, account holders frequently forget that a payment card was saved on file a full year prior. Like competing registrars such as GoDaddy or Namecheap, Dynadot also processes automated charges for private email hosting or winning auction bids.
