How we compiled this
Domain registration is priced per-domain-per-year by TLD rather than as monthly subscriptions, so each plan below represents one common TLD and the figure in monthlyUsd is the published USD price PER YEAR (registration / first-year), with the renewal price noted in each plan; this is flagged because the schema's only price field is monthlyUsd. Every plan was re-verified on 2026-06-13 by fetching its source URL and confirming the exact figure appears on the live page. Prices were confirmed on each registrar's own pricing page where it served static USD figures (Porkbun, IONOS, Squarespace, Cloudflare at-cost statement); registrars whose own pages blocked automated fetch or rendered client-side (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Dynadot, plus Cloudflare's per-TLD figures) had their standard prices confirmed against a dedicated 2026 price-tracking page (priceworld.com, tldprice.org, cfdomainpricing.com) where the exact registration and renewal figures were located in the raw HTML and matched to the correct TLD. Hostinger was DROPPED: its claimed standard rates ($10.19/$15.19/$9.19) could not be found on either its official tutorial page (which lists only promo prices $2.99/$11.99/$7.99) or the tldprice.org tracker (which lists $0.01/$11.99/$7.99 with $19.99 .com renewal), so the figures were unconfirmable on any real page. HIPAA/BAA do not apply to domain registration and are null; minutes/calls/overage fields are null for every plan.
