Porkbun
one all-inclusive number and the best security defaults here
twenty cents more than Dynadot for an all-inclusive price, free privacy and webauthn — which is a reasonable trade.
$11.08, register or renew, with a sentence on the pricing page that does more work than the price itself: all prices include icann and any other fees. that means $11.08 is what you actually pay, where most registrars quote a figure and add the icann fee somewhere later. on a like-for-like basis it is 20 cents above Dynadot and 62 cents above cost.
whois privacy is free, and Porkbun is explicit about why — its page says privacy should not come at a price, which is a position several registrars in this category still charge for. it offers webauthn as well as ordinary 2fa and login notifications, the strongest published account-security posture of anything ranked here, and a domain registrar account is exactly the credential you least want stolen.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.
