Cloudflare

Cloudflare Registrar sells domains at registry wholesale cost plus the ICANN fee — no markup, no promos, no games. The catch: your domain must use Cloudflare's nameservers, and not every TLD is supported.

Where it wins

  • At-cost pricing, permanently
  • Renewal equals registration — no cliff
  • Free WHOIS privacy and solid DNS

Where it costs you

  • Requires Cloudflare nameservers
  • Smaller TLD catalog
  • No promos — first year is rarely the cheapest

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 — Cloudflare'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

3 questions
Is Cloudflare cheaper than DreamHost?
On the 280 extensions both sell, Cloudflare renews cheaper on every one. Across the 6 most registered of them, a year of renewals adds up to $145.00 at Cloudflare and $190.86 at DreamHost. On the first year alone, Cloudflare is cheaper on 280 and DreamHost on 0: a first-year discount says little about the years after it.
Do Cloudflare and DreamHost include WHOIS privacy?
Cloudflare: free on eligible TLDs. DreamHost: free on eligible TLDs. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.
How do I move a domain from DreamHost to Cloudflare?
Unlock the domain at DreamHost, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at Cloudflare 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.
