Compare domain prices

[JetHosting.ch]

Hello to all,

I'd like to know if there's a way to compare domain purchase prices in order to select a registrar based on the lowest purchase price. The new function which allows for price syncing is excellent, but I miss the ability to compare the price of one registrar with the prices from another.

Example (prices are made up):

• Registrar A sells .com domains at 9.99/yr, .net domains at 19.99/yr
• Registrar B sells .com domains at 8.90/yr, .net domains at 29.99/yr
• I'd like to sell .com at 12.99 and .net at 24.99.

I'd like to see a comparison table that lets me see the lowest purchase price, so that I can make an informed decision about which registrar to use.

Thanks and best regards

not in WHMCS... even with the registrar Sync feature, you're limited to the registrars that can use it.

it might be worth mentioning that you can use more than one registrar in WHMCS - so in the above example, you could use registrar A for .com and B for .net etc... and if you weren't automating the registration, you could make a choice, at the time of accepting the order, as to which registrar you use for which domain.

you won't get that in WHMCS - not least because there are some registrars that don't support obtaining pricing through their API and so it's not as simple to get their pricing...

a demonstration of this is shown in the screenshot below which is a small part of a spreadsheet that pulls pricing from various registrars that I use (or can use)... the registrar in blue is one of those ones that doesn't support pricing via API, so an alternative method had to be found.... long story short, it's a pain to do this yourself and not worth the effort! ⚠️

there are comparison sites out there, e.g domcomp.com, but they will undoubtedly be setup to obtain revenue from affiliate links, rather than give an accurate balanced comparison.
