Introducing marque.at, a domain registrar built on the AT Protocol, made by the creators of @margin.at Check it out: marque.at

At (pun not intended) first I wasn't going to use it because prices seemed really expensive but now it looks fine (unless I'm stupid and just checked tlds that are more expensive and then just checked tlds with the same or similar price). But why would I buy a domain with a company that's so young?

So they lose money on domains and then try to shove web hosting, email hosting, or other things at higher prices to try to recover the cost They also charge a low rate for the first year, then make renewals more expensive We do the opposite, showing renewals first, and being honest about prices

We charge a fair price, which is wholesale from registries + our costs We also have partner fees (we are not an accredited registrar yet, so we use someone else's registrar to power our service) So the price you see is the best we can offer, and yet we are still better than some registrars.

The TLDs I want have a good price so that's fine but my main problem is just knowing that marque is going to last. The main benefit is just other uis for DNS management (which isn't really possible if you move your DNS records elsewhere) so I'm not comfortable using marque over another provider.
