Cheapest .com domain registrars compared: Dynadot, Namecheap, NameSilo, Hosstec and Hostinger
Compare .com registration and renewal prices, privacy and extras across five registrars, with the number to watch: the renewal price.
A cheap first year means little if the renewal doubles. For a .com domain the numbers below come from each registrar's own price page. Compare the renewal column first, then the extras.
| Registrar | .com first year | .com renewal | WHOIS privacy | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dynadot | $10.88 | $10.88 | Yes | Same price to register, renew and transfer |
| Namecheap | $11.28 (25% off $14.98) | $18.48 | Free for life | New-customer first-year offer |
| NameSilo | $17.29 for 1 to 49 orders; lower on its discount program | See its price table | Free | Volume tiers lower the price |
| Hosstec | Domains from $14.99 per year in the store | See the store | See the store | Also hosting and reseller plans |
| Hostinger | Promotional first year on its search page | Not shown in the page we read | See the site | Domain often bundled with hosting |
Our ranking for a single .com
- Dynadot. The lowest flat price we found, with the same price at renewal.
- Namecheap. A low first year and free privacy, but the renewal is $18.48.
- NameSilo. Free privacy and tools. A single registration costs more than the first two unless you qualify for its discount program.
- Hosstec. Convenient if you also host with us. Check the exact .com price at checkout.
- Hostinger. Good when the domain comes bundled with a hosting plan.
What to check before you buy
- The renewal price for the exact extension you want.
- Whether privacy is included or sold as an add-on.
- The transfer price, in case you move later.
- Whether the first-year offer needs a hosting plan.
Domain prices are published per extension and can change by the week. Treat this table as a starting point and read the checkout total before you pay.
