Domain registrar price comparison
See who's cheapest to register, renew and transfer a domain across the top registrars. Pick a TLD — the cheapest renewal in each row is starred. Renewal price is the one that matters if you hold names, so it's the default sort.
| Registrar | Register (1st yr) | Renewal / yr ▾ | Transfer |
|---|
Chasing the cheapest first year is a trap. Most registrars discount registration to win the sale, then renew at a higher standard rate. If you're holding domains as an investment, the renewal price is the number that compounds across your whole book, year after year — so that's the column to optimize.
Cloudflare Registrar sells at wholesale with no markup, which makes it the cheapest place to renew the TLDs it supports — but it deliberately doesn't run promos and doesn't carry every extension. Porkbun and Dynadot are the usual value picks when you need a full-service registrar with broader TLD coverage.

Which registrar is cheapest for domains?
For most common TLDs, Cloudflare Registrar sells at wholesale (at-cost) with no markup, and Porkbun and Dynadot are consistently among the cheapest full-service registrars for renewals. The cheapest first-year promo isn't always the cheapest to renew — compare the renewal price, which is what you pay every year you hold a name.
Why does the renewal price matter more than registration?
Registrars often discount the first year, then renew at a higher standard rate. If you hold domains as investments, the renewal price is the number that compounds across your whole portfolio — so that's the one worth optimizing.
Is transferring to a cheaper registrar worth it?
A transfer usually adds a year at the new registrar's price, so moving a name from a $22/yr registrar to a ~$10/yr one can pay for itself immediately and every year after. DomainBook Pro tracks each domain's registrar and renewal cost so you can see exactly where consolidating would save money.
