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

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

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

On the first year alone, Epik is cheaper on 214 and WordPress.com Domains on 153: a first-year discount says little about the years after it.
Which is cheaper for a .com domain, Epik or WordPress.com Domains?
Epik renews .com at $15.99 a year and WordPress.com Domains at $13.00. Three years — the first year, then two renewals, with the ICANN fee — come to $48.57 at Epik and $39.60 at WordPress.com Domains.
Do Epik and WordPress.com Domains include WHOIS privacy?
Epik: free on eligible TLDs. WordPress.com Domains: free on eligible TLDs. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.
How do I move a domain from WordPress.com Domains to Epik?
Unlock the domain at WordPress.com Domains, 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 — $15.99 for a .com at Epik today. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
