Truehost in Lemon Domains
Lemon Domains doesn't sync with Truehost by API, so Truehost domains come in by paste or CSV. They then sit next to your domains from every other registrar, with expiry tracking, and your AI can answer questions about them through MCP, the API and the CLI.

Import your Truehost domains
It takes about a minute, and you can re-import any time to refresh.
Open your Truehost client area
- 1Open your Truehost account at truehost.com and go to the domain list.
- 2If the list paginates, switch to "show all" or the largest page size so every Truehost domain is visible.
- 3Copy the visible list, or export to CSV if Truehost offers it from the account area.
- 4In Lemon Domains, click Import, paste the list or upload the CSV, and map the columns. Lemon Domains previews everything before it commits.
- 5Give the registrar account a friendly label (for example "Truehost personal" or "Truehost client work") so sub-accounts stay distinct.

Frequently asked questions
Does Lemon Domains support Truehost domains?
Yes. Lemon Domains does not sync with Truehost by API, so Truehost domains come in by pasting your domain list from the Truehost dashboard or uploading a CSV export. Re-import any time to refresh. Multiple Truehost accounts are supported with friendly labels so sub-accounts stay distinct in the unified portfolio.
Do I need to share my Truehost password?
No. Lemon Domains does not sync with Truehost by API, so it never asks for any Truehost credentials. Paste your domain list from the Truehost dashboard or upload a CSV export. Neither needs your password.
Can I track multiple Truehost accounts?
Yes. Add one Lemon Domains registrar entry per Truehost account with its own friendly label. Personal and business logins, sub-accounts, and client accounts all sit side by side in one dashboard.
Does Lemon Domains renew my Truehost domains?
No. Renewal still happens at Truehost. Lemon Domains tracks expiry dates and auto-renew status so you know exactly when to act, but the renewal button stays at Truehost.
Can AI assistants query my Truehost domains?
Yes. The Lemon Domains MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any MCP client query your full portfolio, including Truehost domains, in plain English. Choose read-only or read-and-write access for each token.
Is Truehost ICANN-accredited?
Truehost is not on the ICANN list of accredited registrars. It registers .co.ke, .co.za, .ke and .ng domains through the country-code registries.
Does Truehost have an API?
Not one that account holders can use. API is only for accounts in the domain reseller programme. Truehost domains come into Lemon Domains by paste or CSV import instead.
