Why We Exist
The domain industry is notorious for "teaser rates" — incredibly low prices for the first year that skyrocket upon renewal. Most comparison sites are biased, owned by the registrars themselves, or don't account for these renewal traps.
CheapDomainHunt was built by a group of indie developers in Toronto who were tired of getting hit with $20 renewal bills for names they bought for $1. We pull real-time data, calculate the 3-year total cost, and flag "Renewal Traps" so you can make an informed decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get your pricing?
We use a combination of official registrar APIs, public pricing pages, and community-reported data. Our edge workers cache this data every 15 minutes.
What defines a "Renewal Trap"?
We flag any domain registration where the renewal price is more than 2x the introductory price. This is meant to highlight "bait and switch" marketing tactics.
Is this service free?
Yes, absolutely. We support the site through affiliate commissions. When you click our links and buy a domain, we might get a small kickback at no extra cost to you.
