beyond price
- Cloudflare — At-cost pricing, no markup. Free WHOIS privacy + DNSSEC. Publishes a domain management API.
- Porkbun — Low margins, dev-friendly API, free WHOIS privacy. Publishes a domain management API.
Price is the easiest thing to compare and rarely the only thing that matters. Transfer friction, whether WHOIS privacy is included, DNS quality and how quickly support answers when something breaks are all worth more than a couple of pounds a year on a domain your business depends on.
questions people actually ask.
Is Cloudflare or Porkbun cheaper for domain renewals?
Across the 21 TLDs both registrars sell, Cloudflare averages £18.55 per renewal against £20.08 for Porkbun — about £1.53 per domain per year. Cloudflare is cheaper on 13 of those TLDs and Porkbun on 8, so the answer flips depending on which TLDs you hold.
Does Cloudflare or Porkbun have a better API?
Both publish a domain management API. If you manage domains programmatically that matters more than a pound or two of price difference — and owndle reads your portfolio from any registrar regardless, via the public registry data.
Should I move domains between these two?
Only where the per-TLD gap is real and you will hold the domain for years. A transfer costs one year's renewal at the gaining registrar, and that year is added to your expiry rather than replacing it — so the true cost is the price difference, not the whole year. Check the specific TLDs you own in the table above rather than the average.

This page compares two registrars in the abstract. Owndle compares every registrar against the specific domains in your portfolio, then tells you which ones are worth moving and reminds you before each one renews.
