Preview data. Pricing is verified from the registrar's own source for 6 of 20 registrars (fetched live where the registrar publishes one); the remaining registrars' prices, plus all scoring and country recommendations, are illustrative placeholders pending verified testing. See data sources for a row-by-row breakdown, the methodology, or fetch /data/verification-status.json for a machine-readable view.
Recommendations for .sg, .com.sg and .com domains, plus notes on local rules, payment methods, and support languages.
For open .sg (the form available to overseas registrants), Porkbun is the cheapest tracked option and bills transparently. For .com.sg, none of the global registrars we track are SGNIC-accredited — Vodien is the largest local registrar, Exabytes the most popular alternative, and both bill in SGD with 9% GST.
| Use case | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Local ccTLD (.sg) | Sells .sg, though we have not verified its price on this site yet. | |
| .com from Singapore | Verified .com renewal of $11.08. WHOIS privacy: free, included by default. | |
| Business use | Support channels: 24/7 live chat, ticket support, knowledge base. | |
| Developers | Industry-leading anycast DNS with deep developer tooling. Public API documented. |
The .com, business and developer picks above are the same in every country we cover, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise: they are global registrars, and nothing about them changes at a border. What genuinely varies by country is on this page below — which registrars can sell the local ccTLD and under what eligibility rules, how billing and VAT work, and which support languages are available.
Purpose: Direct second-level Singapore registration, open to anyone worldwide.
Eligibility: No nexus requirement on direct .sg — open globally.
Cloudflare Registrar, Spaceship, Dynadot, and Squarespace Domains do not list .sg at retail; SGNIC accreditation is required at the registrar level.
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.
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 the dominant SGNIC-accredited local options.
These are well-known Singapore-based registrars commonly used by local buyers. They are not scored in our methodology, but they are listed because they often cover ccTLDs or billing arrangements that global registrars do not.

+$0.20 marks the mandatory ICANN fee where a registrar itemises it separately instead of including it in the headline price. Prices are shown exactly as each registrar publishes them, and every ranking on this site compares the all-in total, so no registrar gains a position by splitting its price up.
Most global registrars price domains in USD; local registrars often invoice in SGD.
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.
| ccTLD | Sellers we verify | Cheapest verified renewal | vs cheapest .com |
|---|---|---|---|
| .sg | 0 (+3 listed, price not verified) | Not verified | — |
| .com.sg | 0 | Local registrar only | — |
Renewals are all-in and per year, at the cheapest registrar we verify for that extension, checked 2026-08-19. 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 6 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.
