Porkbun is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar selling registrations, transfers and renewals across hundreds of extensions, plus web and email hosting.
Most of its domains already sell at cost, so the real savings come from first-year sales and the payment method you pick.
Porkbun launched in 2015 and works out of the Pacific Northwest. Each domain comes with free privacy for WHOIS records, SSL certificates, DNS management and forwarding for URLs and email, and the registrar says it emails customers ahead of any registry price rise. It also breaks down its .com price openly: $10.26 wholesale, a $0.20 ICANN fee and $0.62 in card fees.
Besides new registrations, it runs an aftermarket with domain auctions and expired-name closeouts. Hosting choices range from a link-in-bio page and a site builder to WordPress cloud, cPanel, static and PHP hosting, with email through its own service or Proton Mail. Phone and chat help runs 9am-5pm Pacific every day.
