101domain

The specialist for extensions nobody else carries — its price list includes country codes that need local presence, trademark papers or a registry contact. You pay handsomely for that reach: on ordinary gTLDs it is one of the dearest boards here, and on ccTLDs the gap widens sharply. It is a corporate brand-protection registrar that also sells to the public, and it prices like one.

Where it wins

  • Carries ccTLDs almost nobody else brokers
  • Every price published with its currency stated explicitly
  • Registration and renewal shown together; sale prices marked honestly

Where it costs you

  • Expensive across the board, and far above market on ccTLDs — .au near $60 against .de near $11
  • WHOIS privacy is a paid add-on, and unavailable on many ccTLDs
  • Some zones sold only in 2- or 3-year blocks
  • Aimed at corporate brand protection, priced accordingly

DreamHost

A long-running independent host that also sells domains, with a plainly published price table in three currencies. Registration promos are common and the renewal is usually well above them — the gap is printed right next to the offer, which is more than most manage.

Where it wins

  • Price table published openly in USD, EUR and GBP
  • Free WHOIS privacy
  • Established host with real support

Where it costs you

  • Renewals sit above the discounters
  • First-year promos widen the step-up
  • Domains are a side business next to hosting

Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — 101domain's on 1 Nov 2026, DreamHost's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read

Do 101domain and DreamHost include WHOIS privacy?
101domain: not independently verified. DreamHost: free on eligible TLDs. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.
How do I move a domain from 101domain to DreamHost?
Unlock the domain at 101domain, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at DreamHost with that code. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration and is paid at the new shop's transfer price. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
