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

INWX

A German registrar with one of the strongest public price feeds in the market: an extensive catalogue, separate lifecycle terms, restore, trustee, privacy and promotion metadata in one anonymous response. Domain.Guru ranks only rows whose registration, renewal and transfer each buy a comparable one-year term; no-year transfers remain outside that ranking instead of masquerading as bargains.

Where it wins

Official anonymous JSON feed with retail lifecycle prices
Independent periods and prices for registration, renewal and transfer
Promotion windows, privacy, trustee and restore metadata are explicit

Where it costs you

Hundreds of transfers do not add a year and therefore are not mixed into the standard transfer ranking
Volume tiers exist separately and are deliberately excluded
EU VAT depends on buyer status and destination

4 questions

Is Cloudflare cheaper than INWX?

On the 400 extensions both sell, Cloudflare renews cheaper on every one. Across the 20 most registered of them, a year of renewals adds up to $400.17 at Cloudflare and $800.23 at INWX. On the first year alone, Cloudflare is cheaper on 145 and INWX on 255: a first-year discount says little about the years after it.

Which is cheaper for a .com domain, Cloudflare or INWX?

Cloudflare renews .com at $10.26 a year and INWX at $18.50. Three years — the first year, then two renewals, with the ICANN fee — come to $31.38 at Cloudflare and $51.10 at INWX.

Do Cloudflare and INWX include WHOIS privacy?

Cloudflare: free on eligible TLDs. INWX: varies by TLD or account. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.

How do I move a domain from INWX to Cloudflare?

Unlock the domain at INWX, 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.
