Across 56 tracked TLDs, Turhost's renewal prices average 168% above the market's best — and it has the lowest observed renewal on 1 of them. Every price below is kept from our last good fetch of Turhost on 2026-08-25 — the latest one failed, so these are the prices we last saw rather than today's.
The verdict in prose
A Kocaeli host trading since 2004 with a compact, unusually plain price list: registration, transfer and renewal are three columns of one public page, the registration column states its term in the heading, and every figure is written twice, once in dollars and once in lira behind a currency switch at the shop's own posted rate. The dollars are the ones it authored, so nothing here is converted. About 1.7x registry wholesale, and the renewal is what the registration costs on the typical zone.
Where it wins
- Registration, transfer and renewal are three columns of one public list
- The registration column states its term in the heading — "Kayıt Ücreti /Yıl", per year
- Prices its own catalogue in US dollars, so no exchange rate stands between the list and the reader
- The median zone renews at what it registers for — no first-year cliff
- Prints its company, address and tax registration, plus an independent published list for the .tr family
Where it costs you
- Only 56 extensions — one of the smallest catalogues here
- Says nothing anywhere about VAT, so whether 20% Turkish KDV is on top is unknown
- A handful of zones do run a first-year promo — .com registers at $2.90 against a $21.99 renewal
- WHOIS privacy is not offered free

FAQ
Turhost, answeredIs Turhost cheap for domains?
Turhost currently has the lowest renewal price on 1 of the 56 extensions we track for it. A Kocaeli host trading since 2004 with a compact, unusually plain price list: registration, transfer and renewal are three columns of one public page, the registration column states its term in the heading, and every figure is written twice, once in dollars and once in lira behind a currency switch at the shop's own posted rate. The dollars are the ones it authored, so nothing here is converted. About 1.7x registry wholesale, and the renewal is what the registration costs on the typical zone.
Does Turhost include WHOIS privacy?
We have not independently verified whether Turhost includes, charges for or supports WHOIS privacy. Unknown is not treated as paid.
Does Turhost auction expired domains?
Yes. Turhost's .com/.net/.org lifecycle opens days 36–42 to third-party registration with an auction fee before a later redemption stage, so recovery is not exclusive throughout the published path. We apply a 5-point honesty-score penalty; the policy was checked 2026-08-30.
What is Turhost's registrar honesty score?
73/100. The fixed transparency base is 78/100, with 63/70 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.
