Our verdict

An ICANN-accredited registrar for traditional DNS domains as well as Web3 names. The comparison uses current standard-domain USD quotes from its public shop, not the older marketing price table. Premium names, Web3 products and unverified country-code terms are excluded.

Where it wins
  • Current registration, renewal and transfer quoted together
  • Public shop access without an API account
Where it costs you
  • Public search returns a subset, not the full catalogue
  • WHOIS privacy is an optional paid service
  • Checkout defaults, payment methods and tax treatment remain unobserved

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.

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.

Renewal price changes

checked daily since 2 Sep

No renewal price at Freename moved by 2% or more and held.

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.

FAQ

Freename, answered
Is Freename cheap for domains?
Freename currently has the lowest renewal price on 2 of the 237 extensions we track for it. An ICANN-accredited registrar for traditional DNS domains as well as Web3 names. The comparison uses current standard-domain USD quotes from its public shop, not the older marketing price table. Premium names, Web3 products and unverified country-code terms are excluded.
Does Freename include WHOIS privacy?
Freename does not include WHOIS privacy by default. It may be a paid add-on or unavailable, depending on the extension.
Does Freename auction expired domains?
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.
What is Freename's registrar honesty score?
75/100. The fixed transparency base is 75/100, with 50/50 points directly observed, and the verified pre-release-policy adjustment is 0. Unobserved criteria (checkout defaults and term coupling) use disclosed neutral half-scores; they are neither normalized away nor treated as failures. Current market wins are reported separately.
