How we collect prices
Each registrar's public price for a standard name, read weekly from its own site, in US dollars at the day's ECB rate; taxes not included unless the registrar shows them. Premium and reserved names cost more, and prices change: the registrar's page is the final word. We don't sell domains and earn nothing from any registrar. A registrar can ask to be removed at hello@dnsdoctor.dev.
