Our verdict
A Singapore registrar built around domain trading as much as registration — dropcatch, an aftermarket and a reseller programme sit alongside the retail price list. Pricing is promo-heavy in the extreme: the published table puts the first year and the renewal side by side, and the gap between them is often several hundred percent.
Where it wins
- Full public price list, renewal printed beside the first year
- Very deep first-year promos
- Unusually broad payment support, including crypto
Where it costs you
- Renewal is frequently 3–5× the first year
- Checkout behaviour unverified — needs an account to see
- Interface and support are China-market first
Registrar honesty
62/100 registrar honesty score · rubric
transparency base 67/100 evidence observed 42/50 pre-release policy −5
42/50 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 −5 pts
pre-release risk after expiration when the name is not renewed; exact day not published Gname's membership agreement permits it to auction a customer-managed expired domain without further notice. Separate drop-catching auctions are not the basis for this classification.

FAQ
Gname, answeredIs Gname cheap for domains?
Gname currently has the lowest renewal price on 0 of the 87 extensions we track for it. A Singapore registrar built around domain trading as much as registration — dropcatch, an aftermarket and a reseller programme sit alongside the retail price list. Pricing is promo-heavy in the extreme: the published table puts the first year and the renewal side by side, and the gap between them is often several hundred percent.
Does Gname include WHOIS privacy?
Gname includes WHOIS privacy at no charge on eligible TLDs; registry rules can still make it unavailable on a specific extension.
Does Gname auction expired domains?
Yes. Gname's membership agreement permits it to auction a customer-managed expired domain without further notice. Separate drop-catching auctions are not the basis for this classification. We apply a 5-point honesty-score penalty; the policy was checked 2026-08-30.
What is Gname's registrar honesty score?
62/100. The fixed transparency base is 67/100, with 42/50 points directly observed, and the verified pre-release-policy adjustment is -5. 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. The full rubric is on our method page.
