Prices are yearly, sourced from our registrar partner ResellerClub and refreshed at most once a day. Multi-year-only extensions are divided down to a per-year figure. Amounts are shown in euros with the source US dollar amount beside them. Your final price at a given registrar will differ with its margin, promotions and ICANN fees.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the renewal price higher than the registration price?

Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate from year two onwards. Extensions like .cloud, .io or .design carry the biggest gap, so a domain that looks cheap at checkout can cost noticeably more every year you keep it.

Where do these prices come from?

They are pulled from our registrar partner ResellerClub, the same live feed that prices domains inside the Domainium search. Figures are refreshed at most once every 24 hours and shown per year, so multi-year extensions are divided down to a comparable yearly rate.

Will I pay exactly these prices?

Not necessarily. Every registrar sets its own margin, promotions and ICANN fees, and premium or aftermarket names are priced separately. Use this table to compare extensions against each other, not as a quote from a specific registrar.

Which extension should a new startup pick?

Take the .com if the name is free. If it is not, .co and .io remain the most accepted substitutes in tech, while .dev and .app are solid for developer and mobile products. Check the renewal column first: you will pay it every year for as long as the business exists.

Why is .ai so expensive?

The .ai registry only sells two-year terms and prices them at a premium, which is why checkout totals look so high. The table divides that term down to a per-year figure so it can be compared fairly with yearly extensions.
