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

Dynadot

A domainer favorite: solid bulk pricing, an aftermarket, and frequent coupon drops. Renewals are fair on mainstream TLDs, spikier on exotics.

Where it wins

Good bulk and aftermarket tools
Frequent coupons
Fair mainstream renewals

Where it costs you

Exotic TLD renewals can spike
Interface is busy

How do I move a domain from Dynadot to Cloudflare?

Unlock the domain at Dynadot, 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 — $10.26 for a .com at Cloudflare today. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
