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
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
