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

Spaceship

Namecheap's younger sibling runs the most aggressive first-year promos in the market while keeping renewals reasonable. Modern stack, clean checkout, prices move often.

Where it wins

  • Deepest first-year promos
  • Modern dashboard and API
  • Renewals stay mid-pack, not punitive

Where it costs you

  • Prices change frequently
  • Young platform — features still landing

How do I move a domain from DreamHost to Spaceship?
Unlock the domain at DreamHost, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at Spaceship 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.
