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

WordPress.com Domains

Automattic's consumer domain service publishes a broad standard-price catalogue in selectable currencies. Its own documentation ties incoming transfer to the standard renewal price, allowing Domain.Guru to compare all three lifecycle legs without deriving one from an unrelated promotion.

Where it wins

  • Large official USD catalogue with clear standard annual prices
  • Domain privacy is included where the registry supports it
  • Incoming transfer pricing is documented against the standard renewal cost

Where it costs you

  • Optimised around the WordPress.com ecosystem rather than large portfolio trading
  • Existing legacy domains may retain historical renewal pricing
  • Registry-premium names require an individual quote and are not part of the standard board

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