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

Sav.com

Sav competes almost entirely on renewal price — often below wholesale as a loss-leader. The interface is spartan, the math is excellent, especially past year three.

Where it wins

Among the lowest renewals anywhere
Simple, upsell-free checkout

Where it costs you

Bare-bones tooling and DNS
Small team, slower support

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

Do Hover and Sav.com include WHOIS privacy?

Hover: free on eligible TLDs. Sav.com: free on eligible TLDs. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.

How do I move a domain from Hover to Sav.com?

Unlock the domain at Hover, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at Sav.com with that code. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration and is paid at the new shop's transfer price — $10.49 for a .com at Sav.com today. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
