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

IONOS

German hosting giant that uses €1-style first years to pull you into its hosting bundles. Fine if you read the renewal line; the cart works hard to sell you a website builder.

Where it wins

  • Very cheap first year on majors
  • EU invoicing and support

Where it costs you

  • Steep renewal cliffs
  • Aggressive bundling in checkout

INWX and IONOS, answered

4 questions
Is INWX cheaper than IONOS?
On the 419 extensions both sell, IONOS renews cheaper on 304, INWX on 114, and 1 costs the same. Across the 20 most registered of them, a year of renewals adds up to $584.00 at IONOS and $665.15 at INWX. On the first year alone, INWX is cheaper on 308 and IONOS on 109: a first-year discount says little about the years after it.
Which is cheaper for a .com domain, INWX or IONOS?
INWX renews .com at $18.50 a year and IONOS at $20.00. Three years — the first year, then two renewals, with the ICANN fee — come to $51.10 at INWX and $50.60 at IONOS.
Do INWX and IONOS include WHOIS privacy?
INWX: varies by TLD or account. IONOS: free on eligible TLDs. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.
How do I move a domain from INWX to IONOS?
Unlock the domain at INWX, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at IONOS with that code. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration and is paid at the new shop's transfer price — $9.50 for a .com at IONOS today. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
