Best Domain Registrars

Preview data. 1 of 7 registrars have pricing verified from the registrar's own page; the rest, plus all scoring and country recommendations, are illustrative placeholders pending verified testing. See data sources for a row-by-row breakdown, or the methodology.

Changelog

Site-wide updates: when we verified a registrar's data, when we changed scoring, and when we shipped new pages. Page-specific changelogs live on each entity page.

  1. securityprivacyinfrastructure

    Production hardening: CSP and security headers, consent-gated analytics, programmatic favicon and manifest, per-page Open Graph images for registrar reviews, /privacy/ and /changelog/ pages, branded 404, and security.txt.

  2. dataverification

    Verified Porkbun pricing against the registrar's published pricing page (.com, .net, .org, .io, .ai, .co). Updated Cloudflare Registrar facts to remove the outdated 'transfer-only' claim. Added a `verified` boolean per registrar; Porkbun is the only verified entry as of this date.

  4. infrastructure

    Migrated `next lint` to standalone ESLint, added `validate:data` script, added GitHub Actions check workflow (lint + typecheck + validate + build).
