Our verdict
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
Registrar honesty
80/100 registrar honesty score · rubric
transparency base 85/100 evidence observed 70/70 pre-release policy −5
70/70 points are observed. Unobserved: checkout defaults. 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 expired names may enter NamesLink's auction; exact start day is not universal 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 The public terms do not publish one start day that applies to every extension.

Renewal price changes
checked daily since 2 SepNo renewal price at NamesLink 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
NamesLink, answeredIs NamesLink cheap for domains?
NamesLink currently has the lowest renewal price on 0 of the 193 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 The public terms do not publish one start day that applies to every extension.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.
