$11.05 for everyone, behind a $17.29 headline
effectively the same price as Porkbun with more included for free, presented in a way that makes it look more expensive than it is.
the real price is $11.05, for registration and renewal alike, and getting to that sentence takes longer than it should. NameSilo's pricing page splits into registration, renewal and transfer tabs, and the renewal table shows a retail column at $17.29 next to a discount-program column that begins at 0+ domains. since 0+ means anyone with an account, $11.05 is the price — but the $17.29 sits first and larger, and a reader who does not work out that the discount tier starts at zero will conclude this is one of the expensive ones.
what you get at that price is genuinely generous. whois privacy, email forwarding, domain defender protection, custom whois records and dns management are all free and stated as always free, which is a longer list of included extras than anything above it. the margin is 59 cents.
