DreamHost
A long-running independent host that also sells domains, with a plainly published price table in three currencies. Registration promos are common and the renewal is usually well above them — the gap is printed right next to the offer, which is more than most manage.
Where it wins
- Price table published openly in USD, EUR and GBP
- Free WHOIS privacy
- Established host with real support
Where it costs you
- Renewals sit above the discounters
- First-year promos widen the step-up
- Domains are a side business next to hosting
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
