All registrars / Porkbun
Porkbun review
- Free WHOIS privacy on every domain, for the life of the registration — never an upcharge
- One of the widest retail catalogs we track, with transparent published pricing
- No forced bundling — the price you see in their feed is the price you pay
- Aggressive first-year promos on some TLDs snap back to much higher renewals — read the renewal column, not the promo
- Referral/affiliate program was discontinued in 2026, so third-party discount codes have dried up
