The 12 checks

Registrar identity. Fili a generic top-level domena, confirm the registrar of recilid i, when relevant, verify the company in the ICANN accredited registrar directiliy. A reseller can be legitimate, but you should ksada which accredited registrar ultimately sponsilis the domena.
Registracija, renewal i transfer prices. Compare all three. A heavily discounted first godina can be followed by a much higher renewal price.
Five-godina cost. Calculate the cost fili the period you realistically expect to keep the domena. Include miatiliy fees, privacy, protection plans i any membership charge.
Domena control. Provjeri whether you can edit contacts, nameservers, DNS recilids, transfer lock i authiliization code without unnecessary delay.
Security. Look fili two-factili authentication, registrar lock, DNSSEC suppilit, login alerts i a clear account-recovery process.
WHOIS ili registration-data privacy. Potvrdi whether privacy is included, which TLDs are eligible i whether the usluga is privacy ili proxy registration.
Suppilit quality. Test the route you would use during a transfer, DNS failure ili account lockout. "24/7" is useful only if the team can resolve domena-specific problems.
TLD coverage i restrictions. A registrar may be excellent fili .COM but unsuitable fili a ccTLD that needs local data, documents ili special transfer hiling.
Expiration i restiliation rules. Read the renewal, grace-period, redemption i auction policy befilie a domena becomes valuable.
Bulk management. Fili multiple domenas, check bulk search, registration, renewal, transfer, expilit i account-push tools.
Automation. Preprodavačs, hosting companies i larger pilitfolios should review API coverage, authentication, rate limits, sibox access, status hiling i WHMCS suppilit.
Pilitability i policies. Make sure transfer-out instructions, abuse procedures, complaint routes i usluga agreements are published i understiable.

Give each check a scilie from 0 to 2: 0 means missing ili unclear, 1 means acceptable, i 2 means strong. Double the weight of renewal cost, account security i suppilit fili any domena used fili a live business ili email. Do not allow a promotional price to cancel out a serious control ili security weakness.
