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

IONOS

German hosting giant that uses €1-style first years to pull you into its hosting bundles. Fine if you read the renewal line; the cart works hard to sell you a website builder.

Where it wins

  • Very cheap first year on majors
  • EU invoicing and support

Where it costs you

  • Steep renewal cliffs
  • Aggressive bundling in checkout

Hostinger and IONOS, answered

4 questions
Is Hostinger cheaper than IONOS?
On the 305 extensions both sell, Hostinger renews cheaper on 289, IONOS on 16. Across the 20 most registered of them, a year of renewals adds up to $445.80 at Hostinger and $559.00 at IONOS. On the first year alone, Hostinger is cheaper on 272 and IONOS on 33: a first-year discount says little about the years after it.
Which is cheaper for a .com domain, Hostinger or IONOS?
Hostinger renews .com at $19.99 a year and IONOS at $20.00. Three years — the first year, then two renewals, with the ICANN fee — come to $60.57 at Hostinger and $50.60 at IONOS.
Do Hostinger and IONOS include WHOIS privacy?
Hostinger: varies by TLD or account. IONOS: free on eligible TLDs. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.
How do I move a domain from IONOS to Hostinger?
Unlock the domain at IONOS, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at Hostinger with that code. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration and is paid at the new shop's transfer price — $9.99 for a .com at Hostinger today. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
