Cloudflare Registrar

zero margin, in writing, permanently

$10.46 / year — at cost#anyone-who-intends-to-ke#never-think-about-it-aga

the only registrar here whose price is a policy rather than a promotion — and the only one that will not tell you what that price actually is.

cloudflare sells domains at cost and has committed to it in its own documentation: you pay only what is charged by registries and icann, no markup, and a domain renews at the list price set by the registry. that is a structural guarantee rather than a rate, which is why it ranks first. Spaceship is 28 cents cheaper today and cannot stay there; this is $0.00 margin indefinitely, by design.

the practical consequence is that it never runs a first-year teaser, never has a renewal shock, and never needs a promotion, because there is no margin to discount. whois redaction is free. it lists over 390 tlds.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

the only registrar here whose price is a policy rather than a promotion — and the only one that will not tell you what that price actually is.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
