NameSilo Review 2026
Overall 8.1Evaluated from NameSilo's published documentation and pricing verified from its own pricing pages — not from hands-on account testing — then scored on renewal pricing, WHOIS privacy, DNS tools, security, support, transfer experience, and TLD coverage.

Verdict
Flat registration-equals-renewal pricing, free WHOIS privacy on every domain, a free API and strong bulk tools make NameSilo a favorite of domainers. Retail .com is not the cheapest, the UI is dated, and support is ticket-only.

How we verified this pricing
Verified from primary sources · headless_render
NameSilo's pricing page returns HTTP 403 to a plain fetch, so figures are read by scripts/fetch-pricing-headless.mjs, which renders namesilo.com/pricing in a real Chromium browser and extracts the single-domain (1-49 tier) price from the Registrations, Renewal, and Transfer tabs. Where a TLD is on promotion the current price is taken (the struck regular price is ignored). Retail .com is $17.29/year flat; lower per-domain rates require the Discount Program or 100+ domains and are not the figures recorded here. Re-fetched 2026-08-19 against the full tracked catalog: coverage widened from the original core set to every tracked TLD this registrar publishes.

Renewal pricing explained
First-year prices often look low because of promotional pricing. The renewal price is what you pay every year after that. For long-term value, weigh the renewal price and three-year cost over the first-year promo.

- Free WHOIS privacy on all domains, for the life of the domain
