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
IONOS
German hosting giant that uses €1-style first years to pull you into its hosting bundles. Fine if you read the renewal line; the cart works hard to sell you a website builder.
Where it wins
- Very cheap first year on majors
- EU invoicing and support
Where it costs you
- Steep renewal cliffs
- Aggressive bundling in checkout
