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
Porkbun
Porkbun keeps renewal prices low and prints them right next to the sale price — the pricing table is the marketing. Free WHOIS privacy and free SSL on everything.
Where it wins
- Renewal shown beside every price
- Consistently low renewals
- Free privacy + SSL included
Where it costs you
- Occasional promo requires a coupon code
- Support is ticket-first
