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
OVHcloud
Europe's infrastructure workhorse. Domain pricing is fair and European TLDs are strong, but the domain UX is clearly a side quest next to the cloud business.
Where it wins
- Strong European ccTLD pricing
- Serious infrastructure behind it
Where it costs you
- Clunky domain management UX
- Support optimized for cloud, not domains
