Registrar shortlist
Why 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.
