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

Epik

Epik prices close to wholesale and barely promotes: on most extensions the first year and the renewal are the same number, and only a couple of promotions run at a time. The prices here are the standard tier — Epik also quotes cheaper rates to accounts already holding fifty or two hundred domains, which is a price most readers cannot get.

Where it wins

  • Among the lowest standing prices anywhere
  • First year usually equals the renewal — no cliff
  • Full price list served publicly

Where it costs you

  • Cheaper tiers exist but require 50+ domains held
  • Prices published without naming a currency on the page
  • Lighter tooling than the majors

Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — DreamHost's on 1 Nov 2026, Epik's on 21 Oct 2026, our last good read — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read

DreamHost and Epik, answered

3 questions
Is DreamHost cheaper than Epik?
On the 297 extensions both sell, Epik renews cheaper on 183, DreamHost on 100, and 14 cost the same. Across the 11 most registered of them, a year of renewals adds up to $281.45 at Epik and $297.65 at DreamHost. On the first year alone, DreamHost is cheaper on 100 and Epik on 183: a first-year discount says little about the years after it.
Do DreamHost and Epik include WHOIS privacy?
DreamHost: free on eligible TLDs. Epik: free on eligible TLDs. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.
How do I move a domain from DreamHost to Epik?
Unlock the domain at DreamHost, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at Epik with that code. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration and is paid at the new shop's transfer price. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
