Domain registrar with free privacy, DNS controls and marketplace services.
#6 of 7 in Domain Marketplace Tools by Overall Score
NameSilo focuses on domain registration and management with WHOIS privacy, DNS tools, forwarding, account security, and bulk domain operations. Its marketplace allows users to buy and sell domains, while portfolio features, API access, and reseller tools support customers managing larger domain inventories or automating registrations and DNS changes.
NameSilo breaks its pricing table into registration quantity and account-domain-count bands, so a domain portfolio can face a different effective rate from a one-off purchase. WHOIS privacy, forwarding and ordinary DNS management are included, not priced as separate mandatory extras. Its marketplace is an adjacent resale channel, not a substitute for DNS administration.
Calculated from facts we verified on NameSilo's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 40 that orders our lists.
