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
Hostinger
A mass-market registrar with a surprisingly useful first-party pricing endpoint behind its public TLD catalogue. The feed exposes purchase, first-year, renewal, transfer, currency, coupon and minimum-term fields. Domain.Guru refuses the famous $0.01-style headlines when they require multiple years and ranks the ordinary one-year price instead.
Where it wins
- Public registration, renewal and transfer rows in native USD
- Minimum term and multi-year deal metadata prevent teaser-price traps
- Free privacy is flagged per extension in the source feed
Where it costs you
- Many lowest headlines require a two- or three-year purchase
- The feed is a storefront contract, so structural canaries are essential
- VAT is added according to billing location
