> I would guess someone is making bucks from advertising Hover and Gandi... That'd be nice :) Feel free to suggest more registrars to add, right now it's limited to 7 major registrars that have transparent/up-front pricing.

  tld-list.com says cheapest registrar for .bg is Gandi.net for 182 USD. Even register.bg (https://www.register.bg/user/index_en.html https://www.register.bg/user/index_en.html) offers .bg domains for 30 EUR (35 USD).

  AJ from Gandi here. For the record, we found out about tld-list.com via this thread. We don't pay for advertising as a matter of principle. We don't even have an affiliate program (though we get so many requests for it that we're considering it). @timbowhite: Nice work on the site. Feel free to contact us, we'd love to send you some swag! Is the code open source, by the way?

    Cool. Code isn't open source, it'd be way too embarrassing at this point :)

    Unrelated to the topic, but has Gandi decided to stop hijacking users domains and holding them hostage? I had Gandi seize a fairly decent domain of mine for "abuse" (Which is funny because the domain wasn't even in use) and communicating with the support was just a truly horrible experience, they wouldn't even tell me what the domain was actually suspended for.

      Not sure what you mean by "holding them hostage," but we don't take down domains without a good reason. In the rare case that we do suspend a domain, we always tell you why. If that's not what happened in your case, please contact us or reply here with your ticket number so we can look into it.

  I Want My Name is not an ICANN accredited registrar - they're a reseller of Hexonet / 1API

Gandi is listed for .ie with a price of $105 - which is way higher than what most providers in Ireland would offer it Also "no restrictions" is incorrect .. and misleading

  Late response, but thanks for pointing this out. The "No Restrictions" labels have been made more accurate, and pricing has been added for 6 new registrars. If you can suggest any providers in Ireland with decent, transparent pricing, please let me know!
