Porkbun is cheaper than Namecheap by a few dollars especially on renewals. Namecheap’s renewal price is semi-hidden/obscured.
All my domains are with Namecheap except 1-2 I was/am testing on Porkbun but I’m considering a switch since it means a hundred or two dollars a year in savings.
- chneu 2y agoPorkbun is $11/yr for .com. Namecheap is the same standard price but namecheap regularly has $6/yr sales. .coms are $6.50 on namecheap right now vs $11 on porkbun.
- areyourllySorry 2y agowhich part of "cheaper on renewals" do you not get
- joshstrange 2y agoRenewal is all that matters. Namecheap is $14.95 renewal for me (I believe this is slightly discounted due to how many domains I have) Porkbun is $11.06 That may not seem like much but it’s a couple hundred dollars a year difference for me (some TLDs have a bigger spread).
- forgotpwd16 2y agoVisited Namecheap and currently registration is $10 (normal being $15) and renewal is $17 (wtf). The $6.5 is a promotional offer for one single registration. Porkbun is $11 all. So, yes, you get first year cheaper, but by third year Porkbun will be 3/4 the costs.
- josephb 2y agoFWIW I find https://tldes.com https://tldes.com pretty useful for keeping an eye on who is currently offering the best renewal for various TLDs I use.
