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

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

Do IONOS and WordPress.com Domains include WHOIS privacy?

How do I move a domain from IONOS to WordPress.com Domains?
Unlock the domain at IONOS, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at WordPress.com Domains with that code. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration and is paid at the new shop's transfer price — $13.00 for a .com at WordPress.com Domains today. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
