domain registration: trial clock and card-on-file (2026-09-14)

Compare Domains times the trial clock and card-on-file trap for “domain registration” in domain registration on 2026-09-14 across Namecheap, GoDaddy, and Registro.br. Focus: domain registration. Annual is blocked until day-8 charging is written, not guessed.

What happens at hour 27 after the trial

Run transfer lock on Namecheap: confirm Auth/EPP codes in the panel. If the product converts to paid without a second click, freeze annual. domain registration must still work on the free day.

Run DNS SLA on GoDaddy: time propagation on a test record. If the product converts to paid without a second click, freeze annual. domain registration must still work on the free day.

Run year-2 renew on Registro.br: write the price outside the promo year. If the product converts to paid without a second click, freeze annual. domain registration must still work on the free day.

How Namecheap, GoDaddy, and Registro.br fail the clock

Namecheap fails if the card is hidden until the last hour. GoDaddy fails if domain registration dies when the trial ends. Registro.br is the control: if its day-8 price is missing, stop.

Fails that kill compare-domains-trial-2026-09-14-s13

• Starting Namecheap trial without a day-8 date
• Ignoring the card screen on GoDaddy
• Skipping domain registration because the trial felt long
• Letting Registro.br auto-convert overnight

Go / no-go 2026-09-14

Annual only if the trial clock, card-on-file, and day-8 USD price are written for “domain registration”. Otherwise compare-domains stays monthly until domain registration survives day 8.

Start the trial without pretending the card is optional

On Namecheap, write whether a card is required, the trial length in days, and the first USD charge date. A “free” badge on 2026-09-14 is not a clock.

On GoDaddy, write whether a card is required, the trial length in days, and the first USD charge date. A “free” badge on 2026-09-14 is not a clock.

On Registro.br, write whether a card is required, the trial length in days, and the first USD charge date. A “free” badge on 2026-09-14 is not a clock.
