New blog post:Domain prices in 2026 for my portfolio

[alison@burningboard.net]

@jwildeboer When Gandi changed its way, I switched to porkbun, which I recommend.

@jwildeboer nicely done.

I was going to leave hostinger in a data sovereignty shift... but it ends up they are Lithuanian and it took me a window of 12 hours to move my sites to German rather than US servers.

And.

Your post highlights the need to vote with our feet. Really good research.

Added https://infomaniak.com from Switzerland, who came out on 8th place with a renewal total of €338,43. They list their prices without VAT, so I added 19% (German VAT rate, because that's where I live) to their renewal prices.

@jwildeboer lovely. Thanks. I hadn't found a good EU host for many of my domains yet.

@jwildeboer Do you do these evals manually or do you have tooling for that? Asking for a friend with a domain portfolio that includes an exotic tld.

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@christopherkunz I use a spreadsheet. So mostly manually. GoodEnough for me

@jwildeboer I swear domain pricing is a scam. It makes zero sense that they keep getting more expensive as time progresses.

@jwildeboer interesting analysis. With my 3 .de and 2 .eu seems like I'm at the right provider with inwx

@jwildeboer They also offer K-suite, which is a way better and complete replacement for 365 than Proton. My wife started using it, because she didn't want Nextcloud for her company and she is really happy with it. I am genuinely impressed.

@jwildeboer Actually this has been useful. I need to register a couple of domains and this was handy.

Thanks!
