Cheapest .com domains with free WHOIS privacy
Porkbun is a domain registrar known for consistently having the cheapest .com prices (often $9–10/year including the first year). Free WHOIS privacy, free SSL, and a clean modern interface. Less well-known than Namecheap but increasingly popular with cost-conscious founders.
Use when
You want the cheapest possible .com domain with free privacy included and no upsell pressure.
Skip when
You need a local country code TLD (.ng, .co.ke) - Namecheap or a local registrar is more reliable for African ccTLDs.
International card required. Porkbun’s prices are typically $1–22 cheaper per year than Namecheap for .com domains. A simple choice if cost is the primary factor.
