We list register, renewal, and transfer together, and rank by what you pay after year one.
A domain is a yearly bill, not a one-time purchase. Registrars often advertise a low first-year price and then renew at several times that amount. A $1 first year followed by $20 renewals costs more after three years than a flat $12 price, and transferring away later adds fees.
DomRenew lists renewal next to register and transfer, ranks TLDs by holding cost, and flags extensions where the renewal markup is steep.
Prices come from registrars' public lists and are updated on a regular schedule. A sharp swing is held for review instead of going live automatically.
Prices are indicative and exclude registry premiums, ICANN fees, taxes, and promotions that require a code. Always confirm the final price at checkout with the registrar.
DomRenew is not a registrar and does not sell domains. Rankings are computed from the data, not negotiated.
