Domains / Domain Registrar

About .com pricing: the registrar (Godaddy) pays $8.03 wholesale - $7.85 to registry (Verisign) + $0.18 to ICANN.

WOow!

And the best ones are!

  • AlpNames is my favorite. Incredibly cheap and 3rd in size in the world. Privacy is not included, but at that price - who cares. Very good and simple interface!

  • West.xyz is huge Chinese registrar - No1 in the world, and some prices are incredible!

  • Internet.bs are inexpensive and have solid reviews. Free private WHOIS. Strange Typical prices - everything is PER year, so it is more expensive as we order more years. Still, for .eu, .de & .com TLDs, they are amongst the cheapest. They are Bulgarians, but company is in Bahamas. Prices per 3yr: .com ($8.93/yr), .eu (€5.05/yr), .de (€5.66/yr)

These below are somehow “classic”:

  • Uniregistry but I never got the some incredible prices. But they have great UI and for .com domains are one of the best.
  • Freenom has even some “free” domains for the first year. EU ( 4.30€ ) and NL ( 3.70€) TLD’s are really cheap, and the same price is for renewal. NL is probably so cheap as this is the Dutch company. Included for free: WHOIS Privacy, DNS and Email Forwarding

  • OVH has some very cheap TLD’s including their own OVH and very interesting UK.

  • Easyname

  • NameSilo I tried everything, but nothing got me great prices for 3yr.

  • 1&1

  • Russian Domain Registration

  • Gandi.net is not bad at all, really because it has incredible number of TLD’s. But the prices are simply too big for my taste..

  • Dynadot.com

  • Namecheap.com

  • Name.com. Whois Privacy: $4.99. Pricing Same thing with pricing: first year is ok, but as we go more, it is more expensive.

  • Domain.com has no free domain privacy. As others, just first year is low price.

  • BigRock has in-the-middle pricing.

Trying to get cheapest domain for 3 years?

Perfect site to compare prices of TLD: TLD List It ranks also by “3 year value score” which is exactly what I need to analyse.

There is also a site with all the statistics Get detailed insights about TLDs where I discovered some huge Chinese companies. On this site, you can see the most popular registrar by TLD and therefore discover the most cheap ones.

Cheapest solutions I could find:

  • svko.science 3yr (AlpNames 0.79/yr = $2.07), DNS hosted @ Digital Ocean (set to 7 days = 604800s) - Maximum DNS TTL - Conrad Askland blog

  • gutschein.science $2.07

  • svko.bid 3yr (West.xyz 0.83/yr = $2.50)

  • svko.work 3yr

Slobodno ($2.07):

10 Best Free DNS Hosting Providers

DNS server speed (DNS Lookup)

I was measuring this on WPT site (webpagetest.org):

1and1.com (smestajkoviljaca.com): 84 ms (Prague), X ms (Frankfurt) dns.he.net (ganzohr.ch): 60 ms (Prague), 56 ms (Frankfurt)

So usually it’s ok.

The point is - everything is in caching.

DNS Speeds Debunked - blog.easydns.org What Is A TTL or Time To Live & What To Do With It - Dyn Blog

How to speed up DNS resolution:

  • Use a DNS service that uses Anycast for their servers
  • Make sure the DNS provider has servers distributed globally (and that perform well)
  • Try to avoid long CNAME chains (try to avoid them at all if possible)
  • Use a long Time To Live (TTL) on your records so they can be cached by the ISPs and users

DigitalOcean as DNS?

  • Has free DNS hosting. But their IP is hosted at CloudFlare? Note it is not the same as CloudFlare normal usage.
  • Have Frankfurt datacenter

Good: TTL can be set to any huge value; supports IPv6 Bad: none so far

DNS hosting is free for all DigitalOcean customers. There’s no requirement to have a running virtual server to use the DNS manager, but you will need to unlock the account first by either adding a credit card or sending a Paypal payment. But there are no charges for DNS management.
