DreamHost vs Hover: domain renewal prices side by side

DreamHost and Hover both list a one-year price for 22 of the 24 TLDs compared on this site. For each of those shared TLDs the table puts register, renew, transfer and 5-year cost side by side, as read on 2026-10-08, 2026-10-09 (UTC), and names the registrar with the lower renewal price and the lower 5-year cost.

DreamHost is cheaper on 17 of 22 shared TLDs for renewal, Hover on 4, the same price on 1. DreamHost is cheaper more often on this count.

DreamHost is cheaper on 18 of 22 shared TLDs for 5-year cost, Hover on 4, the same price on 0. DreamHost is cheaper more often on this count.

5-year cost = first-year price + 4 x renewal price, where the first-year price is a first-year sale price if the registrar's page showed one on the price date and the regular registration price otherwise. A sale can end at any time. Only TLDs that both registrars price are compared; a TLD that only one of them lists is not counted. Counts are over the registrars' list prices on the dates shown, nothing more. See the methodology.
