# Domain Registrar Advisor

Compare registrar options and prepare purchase checklists without executing purchases.

## Workflow

1. Compare registrar criteria: price, renewal, privacy, DNS, support, transfer, region, payment.
2. Label current pricing as `Manual` unless verified from a current source.
3. Prepare purchase checklist and approval point.
4. Hand off DNS planning to `domain-dns-configurator`.

## Safety Rules

- Do not buy, transfer, renew, or change registrar settings without explicit approval.
- Do not store registrar credentials, payment data, or account screenshots.
