Compare domain prices
Listed below are tables comparing the first year .com registration fees and one year .com renewal fees of the 18 web hosts we’ve reviewed. We also identify which web hosts offer a free domain and free domain privacy for new customers.
- If you take advantage of a free domain registration then the full cost of the domain will often be deducted from any refund, or money back guarantee, you pursue;
- Free domain offers are appealing however all domains must renew – web hosts are renowned for charging more upon renewal than they do at the point of registration;
- It’s often a better idea to register your domain and hosting with separate organizations – if you come to own multiple domains it’s easier to manage them from one place; moreover, some registrars don’t make good web hosts and some web hosts don’t make good registrars;
- If you shop around you’ll find a better deal – some organizations e.g. Namecheap offer relatively cheap .com registrations and free domain privacy “for life” (this could save you significantly in the long run, particularly as most web hosts charge for domain privacy).
