📄 Editorial Review

Sav.com is a relatively young but now very visible player in the domain and website space. Based in Chicago and active since 2019, they operate as an ICANN-accredited registrar with a strong focus on low-cost domains, simple tools for small sites and a surprisingly capable e-commerce website builder. Everything is tied together into one account, so domains, DNS, websites and the aftermarket all sit in a single dashboard rather than being spread across multiple providers.

The heart of the platform is domain registration and management. Sav supports hundreds of TLDs (well over 300 extensions), from the usual .com/.net/.org to newer and niche endings. Pricing is aggressive, and one of the main selling points is that essentials like WHOIS privacy, DNS hosting and SSL are bundled for free with every eligible domain. There is no separate upsell just to keep personal details off public WHOIS or to get basic DNS and HTTPS in place, which is still common at many large registrars.

For anyone managing more than a handful of names, the domain portfolio tools are a big part of the appeal. Bulk transfer and bulk update options are built into the panel, domains can be consolidated into one account from other registrars with "zero website downtime", and there is an integrated aftermarket: domain auctions, fixed-price marketplace listings with low commissions, free "for sale" landers, instant payouts on successful sales, and no-fee backordering where the charge only applies if Sav actually catches the domain. An API is available for developers who want to plug Sav into their own tools or third-party platforms.

On the hosting side, Sav takes a different path from classic hosts. There is no cPanel shared hosting, no VPS list and no dedicated server catalog. Instead, hosting is bundled with a proprietary website builder and with the DNS/redirect layer attached to domains. The website builder uses drag-and-drop templates that are mobile-friendly out of the box, with hundreds of designs tailored to industries like restaurants, fitness, professional services and retail. Users can embed custom HTML and CSS, connect services such as Google Calendar, OpenTable or Zoom, run a blog and tweak SEO-relevant details like URLs, meta tags and alt text, all from the same interface.

The e-commerce stack is more complete than one might expect from a registrar-centric brand. The builder supports product catalogs, digital goods, subscriptions, coupons and promotions, inventory tracking, automated tax calculation, multi-currency storefronts and over 40 payment methods for a merchant’s customers. Store owners can sell via their own site, integrate with channels like Facebook, Instagram and Amazon, use abandoned-cart recovery, push products to Google Shopping, and manage orders from mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Underneath, website hosting runs on a cloud platform with 99.9% uptime, fast page-load performance, automatic backups, SSL and built-in DDoS protection. DNS and the optional "free DNS" mode for transferred domains ride on Cloudflare’s infrastructure, which gives domains a global anycast DNS footprint and extra resilience against common network attacks. Sav keeps the domain, billing and control-panel layer, while Cloudflare handles the heavy lifting for DNS and web delivery.

Email is available as a separate service, but Sav mainly functions as a front-end for specialist partners here. The email hosting itself is supplied by OpenExchange and the forwarding layer by improvmx, with Sav’s own terms making it clear that service continuity and technical issues for those components ultimately sit with the email partners. For most users this simply means they order and manage mailboxes through Sav, but the underlying mail platform is external.

Overall, the platform is a domain investor–friendly registrar that has grown a reasonably serious site-building and commerce platform around its core, rather than a traditional host that added domains as an afterthought.
