The verdict in prose
A direct domain storefront whose public pricing screen calls an anonymous first-party lifecycle endpoint. Domain.Guru fetches every declared page and rejects the entire update if pagination totals or columns change.
Where it wins
- Public registration, annual renewal and transfer prices
- Pagination completeness is verified before publication
Where it costs you
- Company identity, privacy and checkout defaults remain partially unverified
- Registry-cost safeguards withhold implausibly low rows

FAQ
NamesLink, answeredIs NamesLink cheap for domains?
NamesLink currently has the lowest renewal price on 0 of the 151 extensions we track for it. A direct domain storefront whose public pricing screen calls an anonymous first-party lifecycle endpoint. Domain.Guru fetches every declared page and rejects the entire update if pagination totals or columns change.
Does NamesLink include WHOIS privacy?
We have not independently verified whether NamesLink includes, charges for or supports WHOIS privacy. Unknown is not treated as paid.
Does NamesLink auction expired domains?
Yes. NamesLink's service agreement and current auction rules explicitly cover expired-domain auctions. The public terms do not publish one start day that applies to every extension. We apply a 5-point honesty-score penalty; the policy was checked 2026-08-30.
What is NamesLink's registrar honesty score?
80/100. The fixed transparency base is 85/100, with 70/70 points directly observed, and the verified pre-release-policy adjustment is -5. Unobserved criteria (checkout defaults) 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.
