If you've ever bought a domain then you'll know that there are a number of providers, each with their own prices and pricing structures. I was surprised to find there isn't a price comparison website for domains, so I built one.

Hopefully it's something that would be useful to people on HN. Whilst building it, I realised I could have saved $20 on the .io domain I bought recently.

Any feedback would be much appreciated. The immediate plan is to show the prices for domain renew and transfer.

Is this data scraped via an API or something or are you managing it manually?

It's automated. With around 500 TLDs and 7 providers, manually maintaining it would be a nightmare.

nice, it's good to know .io domain can be bought by $39.

There are quite a few big ones not on list though. Like 1and1?

1&1 are just as bad as GoDaddy, in that they advertise $1.99 domains... Where you have to buy for 2 years and the second year price is much higher.

I take your point though, I should add them anyway, even if they're not the cheapest.

Are there any other providers that you think are worth adding?

I didn't even know so many tlds existed
