Transparency is our top priority. Here's exactly how we make money and why it doesn't affect our recommendations.
DomAvail participates in affiliate marketing programs with domain registrars. This means we earn commissions when you click our links and purchase domains or services.
We believe in complete transparency. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how they work, and our commitment to unbiased recommendations.
Affiliate links are special tracking URLs that allow registrars to know when a customer comes from our website. When you make a purchase through these links, we receive a small commission.
If you search for 'example.com' on DomAvail, find it available at Namecheap for $8.88, click our link, and complete the purchase - we earn a commission (typically 20-30% of the registration price).
Use our domain search tools to find available domains and compare prices across 100+ registrars.
You see real-time pricing from multiple registrars, ranked by total cost (registration + renewal).
When you click a 'Register Domain' button, you're redirected to the registrar's website via our affiliate link.
If you complete a purchase, the registrar pays us a commission. This costs you nothing extra - the price is the same whether you use our link or not.
Affiliate links don't change the price you pay. The price is identical to what you'd pay by going directly to the registrar.
We rank registrars by actual price, not by commission rate. A registrar paying us 40% commission won't rank higher than one paying 10% if their prices are higher.
Unlike most comparison sites, we prominently display renewal prices - even though it might discourage purchases from high-renewal registrars who pay better commissions.
All affiliate links are marked with a disclosure. We never hide our affiliate relationships.
Operating DomAvail requires significant resources - servers, APIs, development, and maintenance. Affiliate commissions allow us to provide our comparison service completely free to users.
We believe this model aligns our interests with yours: we succeed when you find the best domain deals, which keeps you coming back to our site.
This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's requirements for affiliate marketing. We are required by law to disclose material connections between us and the companies we recommend.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we operate, we're happy to answer them.
