About Hover

Hover is a domain registrar owned by Tucows, one of the oldest ICANN-accredited registrars, and launched under the Hover name in 2009. It focuses on domains and email only: you can search, register, transfer and renew hundreds of top-level domains, connect them to a site hosted elsewhere, and add a matching email address powered by Titan. WHOIS privacy is included free on supported extensions, two-factor login is available, and support is by phone, email or chat with real people. Hover does not sell web hosting, so you pair it with a host or site builder. Pricing is per year in US dollars with volume savings from ten domains up; it is usually a little dearer than at-cost registrars such as Porkbun or Cloudflare, but with a cleaner checkout than bundle-heavy registrars. It suits people and small businesses who want a simple, privacy-friendly home for their domains.

Best for: People who want a simple, uncluttered place to keep domains and a matching email address.
