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
NameSilo
A portfolio-first registrar with free privacy, a public R/N/T price board and a no-fee Discount Program funded through account balance. Domain.Guru compares the ordinary 1–49 retail tier; volume tiers and crossed-out promo baselines remain visible as conditions rather than being passed off as walk-up prices.
Where it wins
- Public registration, renewal and transfer feeds
- Free privacy forever
- No-fee portfolio discount tiers and strong bulk tooling
Where it costs you
- Best tiers require account funds and portfolio volume
- Promotional first years can still renew above the entry price
- Dated interface
