Registrar honesty
75/100 registrar honesty score · rubric
transparency base 75/100 evidence observed 50/50 pre-release policy 0
50/50 points are observed. Unobserved: checkout defaults and term coupling. Each uses a disclosed neutral half-score in the fixed 100-point base; it creates neither a bonus nor a failure. Read the rubric.
Expired-domain handling 0 pts
neutral — unproven lifecycle reviewed · pre-release disposition not proven The official source describes grace, redemption or deletion, but does not explicitly rule out a registrar pre-release sale. A generic lifecycle is context, not proof, so this remains neutral.

Prices in another currency are compared in that currency, so exchange-rate swings don't count; a day we changed how we read this shop's list is a new baseline, not a move.

The expiry-handling review was completed 2026-08-30, but the evidence remains inconclusive. The official source describes grace, redemption or deletion, but does not explicitly rule out a registrar pre-release sale. A generic lifecycle is context, not proof, so this remains neutral. This is neutral in the registrar honesty score: no bonus and no penalty.
