Infomaniak
A Geneva host that runs its own data centres and publishes a price list most registrars would not: one API call per category returns first year, renewal and transfer across its catalogue, each with its tax-inclusive twin and its own currency label. Swiss prices, Swiss VAT stripped for comparison, and an EU buyer is charged their own country's rate at checkout.
Where it wins
- First year, renewal and transfer all published, across its catalogue
- Every price ships with its tax-inclusive twin, so the basis is arithmetic rather than a claim
- Owns and runs its own Swiss data centres
- Free WHOIS privacy
Where it costs you
- The board here is the Swiss franc list; a US address gets a different and dearer one
- Prices are quoted before 8.1% Swiss VAT, and an EU buyer pays their own national rate on top
- A handful of renewals sit under registry cost and are dropped by this site's guards
- A zero transfer entry is treated as unquoted, not a free annual transfer
INWX
A German registrar with one of the strongest public price feeds in the market: an extensive catalogue, separate lifecycle terms, restore, trustee, privacy and promotion metadata in one anonymous response. Domain.Guru ranks only rows whose registration, renewal and transfer each buy a comparable one-year term; no-year transfers remain outside that ranking instead of masquerading as bargains.
Where it wins
- Official anonymous JSON feed with retail lifecycle prices
- Independent periods and prices for registration, renewal and transfer
- Promotion windows, privacy, trustee and restore metadata are explicit
Where it costs you
- Hundreds of transfers do not add a year and therefore are not mixed into the standard transfer ranking
- Volume tiers exist separately and are deliberately excluded
- EU VAT depends on buyer status and destination
