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

Sav.com

Sav competes almost entirely on renewal price — often below wholesale as a loss-leader. The interface is spartan, the math is excellent, especially past year three.

Where it wins

Among the lowest renewals anywhere
Simple, upsell-free checkout

Where it costs you

Bare-bones tooling and DNS
Small team, slower support
