Multi-registry redundancy, a legal team that answers first, and abuse handling that reads the complaint before it pulls a zone. Your site stays up while the paperwork happens.
Authoritative nameservers on every continent with DNSSEC signed by default. Median lookup: 11ms. Propagation: seconds, not days.
Not a $9 upsell. Every domain, every year, every TLD that allows it.
EPP calls run on background workers, so checkout never blocks on a registry.
Typed SDK, idempotent writes, webhooks with replay. Terraform provider included.
Bulk transfers, folders, auto-renew policies and per-domain audit logs.

The catalogue is synchronized from WebNIC and stored as integer USD cents. Public indicative prices apply a standard 50% markup unless an extension-specific rule overrides it, exclude tax, and are revalidated before payment authorization.

Each catalogue sync creates an immutable price version so future orders can retain their quoted basis.
Prices are shown in USD with the minimum term and tax treatment visible before checkout exists.

Moved 480 domains across in an afternoon. The bulk transfer tool did in one job what our old registrar quoted three weeks for.
A bogus complaint would have taken our zone down anywhere else. honk.gg called us first, then told the complainant to go away.
The API is the first registrar API I haven't had to write a retry wrapper around. Idempotency keys everywhere. Chef's kiss.

Free transfers, free privacy, and a goose that takes it personally when someone tries to take your site down.
