Useful idea, good for comparing domain prices
From 3 comments
Simple but useful idea, surprised it has not been done before. I especially like the sunrise feature. Obviously you have your work cut out (a) finding all the registrars and (b)…
bbcbasic on HNGreat idea! How do you plan to keep the data current? It would be nice to be able to display more than 20 TLDs per page. Maybe more like 100-200?
emddudley on HNVery cool, I've been looking around for something like this. I have a feeling i'll be using this frequently. Nice work!

Sorting by price and columns requested and added
From 3 comments
I really like it, i would like to be able to order the data by price, Cheapest Registrar etc. Very good job.
illdoit on HNNice, it's interesting to see how wildly the prices vary. Out of interest, it would be nice to be able to sort the various columns.
JosephRedfern on HNI upvoted this assuming you could sort by price-- the only reason anybody would use a gTLD is because it's cheaper, after all.

Objections
Some listed prices are inaccurate or too high compared to other registrars
From 4 comments
Listing is not accurate, prices for some domains are way too high (even twice the price I've seen elsewhere). I would guess someone is making bucks from advertising Hover and…
mindo on HNNot sure how accurate this list is. For example, .al is sold for $16.49/year by dot.al vs what they have listed for which is $395/year with gandi.net
jesalg on HNThis is a really cool concept and solves a need, but I don't think the listings are super accurate. I registered http://three.do, my to-do list app that helps you get your top…
andygcook on HNtld-list.com says cheapest registrar for .bg is Gandi.net for 182 USD. Even register.bg (https://www.register.bg/user/index_en.html) offers .bg domains for 30 EUR (35 USD).

Registrar coverage is limited to a handful of major registrars
From 2 comments
Nice! I see you even included your sources. However, unless I'm mistaken, for the "cheapest" part, you get info from a few big names (uniteddomains, gandi, etc), compare between…
karambahh on HNNamecheap is not the cheapest .ca registrar, there are several Canadian providers in the under $10 range/$10. Such as paylessdomains.ca ($9.95) and netfirms ($9.95) and canspace…

Restriction labels such as no restrictions are misleading
From 2 comments
I'm not sure what "no restrictions" is supposed to mean here - I see TLDs that have local presence requirements listed as "no restrictions". For example .eu[1] has "no…
ryan-c on HNGandi is listed for .ie with a price of $105 - which is way higher than what most providers in Ireland would offer it Also "no restrictions" is incorrect .. and misleading

This is really neat, thanks for doing this. My only wish would be to not cap it at 20 per page. I'd love to scroll through all of them, but i'm not gonna click on the next arrow…

Is the code open source?

AJ from Gandi here. For the record, we found out about tld-list.com via this thread. We don't pay for advertising as a matter of principle. We don't even have an affiliate…
