Overview

Dynadot is an ICANN-accredited registrar based in California. Its .com price is flat: $10.88 to register, $10.88 to renew and $10.88 to transfer, with multi-year registrations priced at the same rate per year. The .com page lists the restore fee ($100.92), grace periods and DNSSEC support alongside the price, which is more detail than most registrars show.

Free features on .com include forwarding and stealth forwarding, advanced DNS settings, a one-page website and one branded email address. Dynadot states that its pricing has no hidden fees and no upselling at checkout.

Dynadot also runs an aftermarket with auctions, backorders and expired domains, which is why domain investors use it. Accounts upgrade automatically to bulk or super bulk status after $500 or $5,000 of spending in a year, raising daily limits for appraisals, bulk searches and WHOIS lookups. An API is available for automation, and the domain prices page offers separate tabs for regular and reseller accounts.

Pricing and plans

Plan Price What you get
.com registration $10.88/yr Also the renewal and transfer price
.com restore $100.92 After the 30-day renewal grace period
Regular account $0 Standard pricing
Bulk account Spend $500 in a year Automatic upgrade; more daily appraisals, searches and WHOIS lookups
Super bulk account Spend $5,000 in a year Automatic upgrade; highest daily limits

Dynadot notes that prices can vary with currency exchange rates. The .com page mentions a coupon code for a lower first-year price; the $10.88 figure is the listed price without it. Premium domains are priced separately. The domain prices page lists a privacy column per TLD; this record did not confirm a separate privacy charge for .com, so the privacy fact says only that it is allowed.
