Domain registrar with DNS, hosting and website creation.
#8 of 11 in Domain Registrars by Overall Score
Name.com provides domain registration and transfer along with DNS management, WHOIS privacy, email, SSL certificates, website building, and hosting products. Customers can search across many TLDs, manage renewals and nameservers from a domain portfolio, and use APIs for programmatic domain and DNS operations.
Name.com warns that its published extension pricing covers standard registrations, whereas individually designated premium names may cost differently. Its domain-investing and API offerings sit alongside consumer domain services, so buyers can move from occasional searches to more operational workflows. Renewal and restoration expenses must be distinguished from the initial registration figure in its pricing interface.
