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

NameSilo

A portfolio-first registrar with free privacy, a public R/N/T price board and a no-fee Discount Program funded through account balance. Domain.Guru compares the ordinary 1–49 retail tier; volume tiers and crossed-out promo baselines remain visible as conditions rather than being passed off as walk-up prices.

Where it wins

  • Public registration, renewal and transfer feeds
  • Free privacy forever
  • No-fee portfolio discount tiers and strong bulk tooling

Where it costs you

  • Best tiers require account funds and portfolio volume
  • Promotional first years can still renew above the entry price
  • Dated interface

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