Cloudflare RegistrarQuote needed · Not rankedAt-cost model; numerical renewal quote unconfirmed.Read findingsHide findings
- Pricing model
- Cloudflare says it charges registry and ICANN cost without a registrar markup. A current quote for the exact domain is still needed for this numerical comparison. [9]
- DNS requirement
- Cloudflare Registrar domains must use Cloudflare nameservers. If your setup needs another provider’s nameservers, the FAQ says you must move the domain to another registrar. [10]
Dynadot$10.88 / year · Position 1Published one-year renewalRead findingsHide findings
- Price basis
- The .com page lists a one-year renewal at $10.88 USD. This comparison uses that published renewal amount; it does not use a registration bundle or a longer prepaid term. [1]
ATN assessmentLowest documented one-year renewal amount among the five priced entries in this edition.

- Term and taxes
- The U.S. catalog lists $38.38 USD for a one-year renewal, excluding taxes. Its $34.54-per-year promotional rate applies to 2–9 years, so it is not used here. [5]
ATN assessmentHighest documented one-year amount in this group. Its longer-term promotion does not qualify for this edition.

ATN assessmentFourth in this price-only comparison after adding the separately disclosed mandatory fee.
Read Namecheap’s profileNameSilo$17.29 / year · Position 3Standard retail; no discount programRead findingsHide findings
- Price basis
- NameSilo’s cost guide uses $17.29 per year at standard retail. A retrieved .com marketplace page separately shows $17.29 for annual renewal; the domain’s resale purchase price is not part of this comparison. [6] [7]
- Discount conditions
- The Discount Program requires activation and paying with preloaded account funds. Each funding deposit must be at least $50, including for 30 days after leaving the program. Those rates are outside this standard-retail order. [8]
ATN assessmentThe standard retail amount falls between Porkbun and Namecheap. Conditional account-funding discounts are excluded.
