Singapore uses .sg, .com.sg, which requires a local presence to register. Below: who operates each namespace, what its rules actually constrain, the accredited local registrars, and how global registrars compare on price where we hold a sourced figure.
Of the 10 local storefronts read on 2026-09-29, Gandi prints the lowest standing .sg price: SGD 63.58 incl. VAT, computed from SGD 58.33 ex. VAT. SGNIC accredits 17 registrars to sell .sg; none of them is tested or scored here. Global registrars that sell .sg in US dollars are the global option for a buyer in Singapore, not a recommendation in it.
Registrars accredited by Singapore Network Information Centre (SGNIC) Pte Ltd
These 17 companies are accredited by the Singapore registry to sell .sg, .com.sg. Every column is a fact the registry publishes, read from its accredited-registrar list on 2026-09-29. Listed in the registry's own order.
Registrars accredited by Singapore Network Information Centre (SGNIC) Pte Ltd, with website and whether the registry lists each as supporting DNSSEC. No prices and no scores: none of these registrars has been tested by this site.
0 of 17 are listed by the registry as supporting DNSSEC. “Not published” means the registry does not list that registrar as supporting it, which is not the same as the registrar not supporting it. We have not tested any of these registrars, so nothing here carries a price, a score or a ranking. Comparing them on price and service is work we have not done, and saying which is better would be invention.
Which registrars have a English / Malay / Chinese (Simplified) / Tamil site, bill in SGD and sell .sg?
Three conditions decide whether a registrar can be recommended in Singapore rather than merely to the world from it: an interface in an official language, billing in the local currency, and selling the local namespace. All three must hold. No registrar we track currently meets all three here.
Registrar
English / Malay / Chinese (Simplified) / Tamil interface
Bills in USD only. "All prices are in USD" is a positive statement that no other billing currency is offered, so this is a recorded 'no' on every non-USD currency rather than an absence.
Bills in USD only. "All pricing is per year and in USD." is a positive statement that no other billing currency is offered, as Porkbun's is; recorded as a 'no' on every non-USD currency.
Read billing in EUR and PKR and BRL and ARS and COP and TRY and INR and UAH and PLN and CZK and IDR and PHP and SEK and DKK; SGD has not been established either way.
No registrar tracked here is recorded as selling .sg.
Nofails one condition
A dash is ignorance, not a failing grade: it means we have not established that condition either way. Several registrars render their language and currency switchers in JavaScript, which the read behind this table cannot see, so we record nothing rather than a false “no”. A currency that appears only in a display selector does not count as billing in that currency, because a converted price charged in dollars is exactly the case this condition exists to catch.
Where to buy a .sg: SGNIC-accredited registrars, read from their own storefronts
SGNIC's list of accredited registrars (17 names) was read on 2026-09-29, and 10 storefronts from it were opened, which covers the retail sellers on a short list. Vodien returned a bot wall; GoCloudEasy, Pacific Internet, Singtel, Vooju, WebNIC and United Domains printed no .sg price on the pages reached. Exabytes printed only a first-year S$18.00 offer and Domain Registration a bare "$", so Gandi is the one store with a standing .sg price in Singapore dollars and its tax treatment.
Ordered by the standing .sg price each registrar's own page printed on 2026-09-29: the renewal where the page states one, else the regular price, VAT included (added at 9% where the page states prices excluding it). Price only: this site has not tested their support, uptime or transfers, and none of them carries a score.

Read, not ranked
A local-language storefront, but no .sg price with its VAT treatment on the page read.
EExabytesOnly a first-year .sg price (S$18.00) is printed, with no regular or renewal price.
DDomain RegistrationA bare "$" does not establish Singapore dollars, and no GST treatment is stated.
Not read on 2026-09-29: Vodien (HTTP 403 Cloudflare "Just a moment..." challenge on 2026-09-29. Nothing read.); Singtel (The address listed by SGNIC redirected to empower.singtel.com/shopcloudapps, which rendered no readable text.). Unread is a fact about our read, not a finding about the registrar.
Best options in Singapore
No registrar we track meets all three local conditions in Singapore.
No registrar we track is recorded as selling .sg at all, so the namespace condition fails before language or currency is reached.
For .sg itself, the registry’s own accredited registrars are the route, and they are listed on this page above. We have not tested them, so we name them rather than rank them.
Verified .com renewal of $11.08. Not the cheapest .com we verify: Spaceship renews at $10.18, 9% less. Porkbun is the pick here for catalogue breadth, not for price. WHOIS privacy: free, included by default.
Buying a gTLD through an English-language registrar that bills in dollars is a real and common choice, so it is named with the trade stated rather than dropped. It is not a recommendation in Singapore: the conditions it misses are in the column above.
Business use, globally
Namecheap
Support channels: 24/7 live chat, ticket support, knowledge base.
Developers, globally
Cloudflare Registrar
Industry-leading anycast DNS with deep developer tooling. Public API documented.
These two are the site’s global picks and are the same on every country page, which is why they are labelled globally and sit outside the table above. Nothing about a registrar’s API or its support channels changes at a border; what does change is language, billing currency and whether it can sell the local namespace, and that is what the eligibility table measures.
Policy authority: Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) / SGNIC
Local presence: Yes for second-level forms: .com.sg requires a registered Singapore business; .org.sg requires a Singapore-registered organisation. Direct .sg is open to anyone globally.
Purpose: Direct second-level Singapore registration, open to anyone worldwide.
Eligibility: No nexus requirement on direct .sg: open globally.
Tracked registrars that sell .sg
None of the registrars we track sell .sg at retail: see the local registrar list below.
SGNIC accreditation is required at the registrar level. Porkbun publishes a 907-extension pricing catalogue with no .sg entry, checked 2026-09-02. We hold no read confirming any other registrar we track sells it, and absence here means unconfirmed rather than unavailable.
.com.sg
Last checked 2026-05-29
Purpose: Commercial Singapore domain: the standard form for Singapore-registered businesses.
Eligibility: Registrant must be a Singapore-registered business with a valid UEN (Unique Entity Number) from ACRA, IRAS, or another Singapore registry. The UEN is validated against the SGNIC registration.
Tracked registrars that sell .com.sg
None of the registrars we track sell .com.sg at retail: see the local registrar list below.
None of the tracked registrars sell .com.sg at retail. Vodien, Exabytes and IP Mirror are SGNIC-accredited Singapore registrars. We have tested none of them, so we neither score nor rank them.

Compared across the 11 registrars whose .com price we have read ourselves.
Most global registrars price domains in USD; local registrars often invoice in SGD.
Can a registrar we track handle Singapore?
No registrar whose prices we verify sells any of the ccTLDs on this page, so a local or specialist registrar is the only route to them. A global registrar can still hold the .com, which renews from $10.18 at the cheapest seller we verify: many owners here run both.
Singapore ccTLDs and whether a registrar we verify sells each one
Renewals are all-in and per year, at the cheapest registrar we verify for that extension, checked 2026-09-29. The .com reference is the cheapest verified .com renewal ($10.18). "Listed" counts registrars our country notes record as selling the extension without a price we have read ourselves.
What this page does not tell you: how the registrars based in Singapore compare. We list 17 of them by name only, no prices, no scores, no hands-on testing, so any claim here that a local registrar is cheaper, better supported or easier to pay would be invention. Where local billing in Singapore Dollar (SGD), local-language support, or a registry rule requires a local registrar, that is a reason to use one, and comparing them is work we have not done. Singapore also applies a local-presence or nexus requirement to at least one of its ccTLDs: see the registry rules above before assuming eligibility.
