Is this data scraped via an API or something or are you managing it manually?
It's automated. With around 500 TLDs and 7 providers, manually maintaining it would be a nightmare.
not sure if this is the case for all domain providers, but at least for name cheap: transfer and renew price are quite different from the new price. Also, different contract will have different prices. Longer terms will normally be discounted. It will be nice to display prices based on different use cases.
Anyways! Great work! I wish this can be maintained up-to-date. So many bullshits / price traps on domain registration.

I didn't even know so many tlds existed
nice, it's good to know .io domain can be bought by $39.
There are quite a few big ones not on list though. Like 1and1?

1&1 are just as bad as GoDaddy, in that they advertise $1.99 domains... Where you have to buy for 2 years and the second year price is much higher.
I take your point though, I should add them anyway, even if they're not the cheapest.
Are there any other providers that you think are worth adding?

Hopefully it's something that would be useful to people on HN. Whilst building it, I realised I could have saved $20 on the .io domain I bought recently.
Any feedback would be much appreciated. The immediate plan is to show the prices for domain renew and transfer.
