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
Porkbun
Porkbun keeps renewal prices low and prints them right next to the sale price — the pricing table is the marketing. Free WHOIS privacy and free SSL on everything.
Where it wins
- Renewal shown beside every price
- Consistently low renewals
- Free privacy + SSL included
Where it costs you
- Occasional promo requires a coupon code
- Support is ticket-first
