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
OVHcloud
Europe's infrastructure workhorse. Domain pricing is fair and European TLDs are strong, but the domain UX is clearly a side quest next to the cloud business.
Where it wins
- Strong European ccTLD pricing
- Serious infrastructure behind it
Where it costs you
- Clunky domain management UX
- Support optimized for cloud, not domains
Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — Hover's on 1 Nov 2026, OVHcloud's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read
