Cloudflare Registrar pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Cloudflare Registrar (cloudflare.com) is a domain, DNS or SSL provider. Domains are sold per TLD per year at Cloudflare's at-cost price with no markup, and DNS, SSL and WHOIS redaction come free with each domain.. Free plan: Free DNS, Universal SSL and WHOIS redaction come with every domain; domain registration itself is paid..

What Cloudflare Registrar costs

  • 1 .com domain: $0.87/mo ($10.46/yr renewal / 12 = $0.87/mo. Price from DomainOffer tracker (registration and renewal both $10.46); ICANN fee $0 per tracker; WHOIS redaction free per Cloudflare, so no privacy add-on.)
  • DNS, 5 domains: free (Free DNS is included with every domain and the Free plan; Cloudflare states no zone, record or query limits, so the scenario costs 0.)
  • 1 SSL certificate: free (Universal SSL is included free on the Free plan and every domain, auto-issued and renewed, so 0.)

Plan compared: Standard .com renewal at Cloudflare's at-cost price of $10.46/yr (tracker figure), with WHOIS redaction free.. Prices are USD per month: the headline is one .com domain at its yearly renewal price (not the first-year promo), with contact privacy and any required account plan, divided by 12. We also price managed DNS for 5 domains registered elsewhere at 5 million queries a month and one single-domain SSL certificate for a year divided by 12; a product that does not do a job shows no price for it.

Sources

Pricing page: cloudflare.com/products/registrar. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. The .com price is a DomainOffer tracker figure because Cloudflare's registrar page lists no TLD prices, so it is the one value not confirmed on an official page. The .AI and .CLUB hikes rest on that tracker alone; the .IO (Sept 18, 2026) and .FUN (Sept 4, 2026) cuts are first-year registration promos with renewals unchanged, so they are not recorded.
