TLD-List

What are the key features of TLD-List?

• Cheapest registration, renewal, and transfer prices shown side-by-side across major registrars, updated multiple times per week from publicly available sources.

• 3-Year Value Score that factors in registration, renewal, and transfer costs together, so you can identify the best long-term deal rather than being drawn in by a low first-year price.

• Real-time domain availability checking, search a name to see which extensions are open to register right now, or include a specific TLD to check only that extension.

• Optional columns for WHOIS privacy availability, DNSSEC support, cheapest transfer price, and popularity, letting you filter by security and recognition, not just cost.

• A built-in Promo Codes section and Alerts feature so you can track deals and get notified about pricing changes for extensions you're watching.

Who is TLD-List best for?

• Founders and developers registering a domain for a new project who want to compare .com, .io, .app, and other extensions on actual three-year cost, not just sticker price.

• Domain investors who track pricing trends across gTLD and ccTLD spaces and need a reliable, regularly updated reference.

• Anyone managing multiple domains across different registrars who wants a single place to check transfer pricing and identify cheaper renewal options.

What are the top use cases for TLD-List?

• Catching the difference between a $0.98 first-year registration and a $10+ renewal before committing, the Cheapest Renewal column makes this visible at a glance.

• Searching a domain name to see availability across hundreds of extensions simultaneously, rather than running separate searches on each registrar's site.

• Comparing transfer costs when moving a domain away from an expensive registrar, using the optional Cheapest Transfer column.

How does TLD-List compare to alternatives?

• Compared to checking registrar websites directly: TLD-List aggregates data from publicly available registrar sources in one structured table, removing the need to manually open and compare multiple tabs.

• Compared to simpler TLD lookup tools: TLD-List adds the 3-Year Value Score, optional WHOIS privacy and DNSSEC columns, and a Popularity indicator, giving a more complete picture than tools that only show first-year registration prices.

What integrations and ecosystem support does TLD-List offer?

• Pricing data is pulled directly from publicly available registrar sources and APIs; no user account or API key is required to browse comparisons.

• Works entirely in the browser as a standalone web tool; no extensions, sign-ups, or software installs needed.

• Email alerts available for users who want to be notified of pricing changes or new features for specific TLDs.

What are the pros and limitations of TLD-List?

• Pros: Free with no account required; covers 3,496+ extensions with structured multi-column pricing data; the 3-Year Value Score helps avoid renewal price traps; real-time availability checking is built in.

• Limitations: Data comes from publicly available sources, so registrar-specific account discounts or unpublished promo pricing may not always be reflected; some registrars may not have complete or consistent pricing data available.
