Cloudflare Registrar

Domain registrar at wholesale cost — no markup, free WHOIS privacy

Cloudflare Registrar

Role

Holds the registration for oriz.in and any other domains the family acquires.

Free tier / pricing

• At-cost: Cloudflare passes through wholesale prices (e.g. .com ~$10/yr)
• Free WHOIS privacy
• Free DNSSEC
• Cloudflare itself takes no margin

Card / subscription required?

Yes, but only at the moment of domain purchase / renewal — domains are inherently paid. Holding an existing domain at Cloudflare needs a payment method tied to renewals; some users accept this as a narrow exception to no-card-on-file because the alternative is losing the domain. The family treats domain renewal as a separate budget line, not a free-tier service.

Alternatives

• Namecheap
• Spaceship
• Porkbun

Swap cost

Low — initiate domain transfer (5-7 day process). DNS records move with the zone (kept on Cloudflare DNS regardless of registrar).

Why this is our pick

Wholesale pricing, no markup, integrates with the same dashboard.

Cross-refs

• Cloudflare DNS
• No card-on-file rule — domain-renewal exception
