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
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
