How to read this list
- Every score is explained on its registrar page.
- baseline: everything that could be checked scored full marks, and what could not counts as a neutral half until it is.
- Expired names: early auction risk takes 5 points and redemption protected adds 5; not proven and auction · redeemable are neutral. Open a chip for the policy and its source.
- held: the latest price read failed, so the last good list is shown. Registrars without a price list are not published here.
- Privacy is registrar-level: free* still depends on registry eligibility; source pending means the first-party link is not attached yet.
- First-party sources linked for 23 privacy policies, 44 payment pages and 108 expiry policies · what that means

Two at a time
All 190 head-to-headsWhy a separate registrar honesty score
A comparison site that only compares headline prices rewards the exact tricks it should expose. A $0.01 first year that silently switches your cart to three years isn't cheap — it's a loan against your renewal. For domainers, expiry handling matters too: a verified pre-release sale that can prevent registry redemption is −5, an explicit promise that preserves registry redemption is +5, and an inconclusive reviewed policy is exactly neutral. The rubric is public, the scoring is manual and every adjustment links to first-party evidence. Full criteria on the method page.
