Spaceship
Namecheap's younger sibling runs the most aggressive first-year promos in the market while keeping renewals reasonable. Modern stack, clean checkout, prices move often.
Where it wins
- Deepest first-year promos
- Modern dashboard and API
- Renewals stay mid-pack, not punitive
Where it costs you
- Prices change frequently
- Young platform — features still landing
Squarespace Domains
The successor to Google Domains' consumer portfolio now exposes its complete standard plan catalogue directly to the public domain-search client. Domain.Guru combines that feed with Squarespace's official TLD rules, so first-year discounts remain separate from the regular renewal and transfer price while multi-year or non-transferable products never enter the annual board.
Where it wins
- Public USD catalogue with normal and current first-year prices for hundreds of TLDs
- Free WHOIS privacy and a polished standalone domain dashboard
- Official TLD guide documents minimum terms and transfer exclusions per extension
Where it costs you
- Pricing is usually higher than domainer-first registrars
- Some country-code transfers follow special rules and are deliberately omitted from comparisons
- Taxes and available payment methods vary with the buyer's billing location
Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — Spaceship's on 22 Oct 2026, our last good read, Squarespace Domains's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read
