About TLDMint & Pricing Methodology
Transparent, multi-year cost breakdowns and tested DNS setup guides for indie developers, creators, and small business owners.
Why We Built TLDMint
Most domain and hosting review sites hide Year-2 renewal increases or push bloated $30/month plans on beginners who simply need a clean .COM domain, reliable DNS for Vercel/Canva/Shopify, or a $1/month custom domain inbox.
Every guide on TLDMint follows three editorial rules:
- Always show Year-2+ renewal costs alongside first-year promotional pricing.
- Test DNS records live so A, CNAME, MX, and TXT instructions work on the first try without downtime.
- Verify promo codes monthly directly against active partner feeds so you never waste time pasting expired coupons.
