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
WordPress.com Domains
Automattic's consumer domain service publishes a broad standard-price catalogue in selectable currencies. Its own documentation ties incoming transfer to the standard renewal price, allowing Domain.Guru to compare all three lifecycle legs without deriving one from an unrelated promotion.
Where it wins
- Large official USD catalogue with clear standard annual prices
- Domain privacy is included where the registry supports it
- Incoming transfer pricing is documented against the standard renewal cost
Where it costs you
- Optimised around the WordPress.com ecosystem rather than large portfolio trading
- Existing legacy domains may retain historical renewal pricing
- Registry-premium names require an individual quote and are not part of the standard board
Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — Infomaniak's on 1 Nov 2026, WordPress.com Domains's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read
