Overview

Sav is an ICANN-accredited registrar that launched in 2019 and mixes domain registration with a marketplace for buying and selling names. Its homepage listed .com at $10.87 to register or backorder and $10.15 to transfer in September 2026, and a price tracker reported the renewal at $10.15, which puts it among the cheapest .com renewals from any retail registrar.

Every domain gets free WHOIS privacy, DNS, SSL, CDN, email forwarding and domain forwarding. For investors there are no-fee backorders on 350+ TLDs, auctions, bulk management, for-sale landing pages and integration with Afternic and Sedo fast transfer. Sav also offers a drag-and-drop website builder and an AI site generator called Savannah.

Sav is less well known than Porkbun or Cloudflare Registrar, and its public pages say little about DNSSEC or an API, so confirm those if you need them before transferring a portfolio. Its privacy agreement also notes that contact details can appear in WHOIS for up to 48 hours after registration.

Pricing and plans

checked 28 Sept 2026
Plan Price What you get
.com registration $10.87 Also the backorder price
.com transfer $10.15 Includes a year
.com renewal $10.15/yr Reported by domainoffer.net, 24 September 2026

Sav's homepage lists .com registration, backorder and transfer prices ($10.87 / $10.87 / $10.15) but not renewal; the $10.15 renewal figure comes from domainoffer.net's 24 September 2026 check. DNSSEC support was not confirmed on Sav's pages, so the DNS fact mentions DNS only. Sav does not state a TLD count on the pages read.
