Gname, priced and judged.

Gname currently has the lowest renewal price on 1 of the 86 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.

Gname includes WHOIS privacy at no charge on eligible TLDs; registry rules can still make it unavailable on a specific extension.

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.

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.
