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
