Which registrars are compared?

Nine registrars with a public price list. We read every list each morning, 624 endings in all.

How often do prices change?

0 confirmed price changes so far this week. A change counts once the next morning's read confirms it.

The page shows a daily sample so it stays a demonstration, not a copy of the price lists. A free account compares every ending and sorts by any registrar. The CSV export is part of Full Access, $19 a month, up to 10,000 rows per file.

What is a renewal trap?

A first year priced low to win the sale, followed by a renewal at least twice the first year and at least $10 more. Over five years, the renewal is most of what a name costs.

Do you sell domains or take a commission?

No. Unique Domains is not a registrar or a marketplace, and it earns nothing from the links on this page.
