Hover

Hover charges more and hides nothing: no upsells, no teaser pricing, famously clean checkout. You pay a convenience premium for calm.

Where it wins

  • Cleanest checkout in the industry
  • Honest flat pricing

Where it costs you

  • Premium prices at every horizon
  • Few promos

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

Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — Hover's on 1 Nov 2026, IONOS's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read

Which is cheaper for a .com domain, Hover or IONOS?

Do Hover and IONOS include WHOIS privacy?
Hover: free on eligible TLDs. 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 Hover?
Unlock the domain at IONOS, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at Hover with that code. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration and is paid at the new shop's transfer price — $19.99 for a .com at Hover today. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
