Checked
Pair Networks' long-running registrar publishes a compact but very clear lifecycle grid. Domain.Guru imports the server-rendered core catalogue, selects the explicit one-year renewal rather than the lower five-year rate and excludes free UK transfers that add no comparable year.
- Registration, transfer, one-year renewal and redemption are visible together
- Free privacy, DNSSEC, dynamic DNS and forwarding on supported domains
- Taxes and ICANN-fee treatment are stated next to the price table
- Only the core catalogue is present in the initial public HTML
- Renewal prices are often high compared with domainer-first registrars
- Some extensions are fulfilled through a partner registrar
transparency base 81/100 evidence observed 66/70 pre-release policy 0
66/70 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.
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.

checked daily since 2 SepNo renewal price at pairDomains 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.
