Cheap domains: what to watch for

The cheapest first-year price and the cheapest long-term price are rarely the same registrar or the same TLD. A $1–$3 first-year promo on a new gTLD such as .xyz or .online frequently renews for $20–$40. For a domain you plan to keep, sort by renewal price, not first-year price.

For the lowest steady cost on a mainstream extension, .com and .net from a low-markup registrar are usually the safest long-term choice. Compare the full field on the cheapest renewals page.

FAQ

What is the cheapest domain?+
The lowest verified first-year price we track is .online at $0.98 (Namecheap, checked 2026-07-15). First-year promos are often far below the renewal price, so compare the renewal column before you buy.
What is the cheapest domain to renew?+
The lowest verified renewal price we track is .de at $4.07 per year (Porkbun). Renewal price is the number that matters long term — it is what you pay every year after the first.
What is the cheapest way to register a .com?+
Among registrars we have verified, the lowest .com renewal is Dynadot at $10.88 per year (checked 2026-06-22). See the .com page for the full breakdown.
Why is the first-year price so much lower than the renewal?+
Many registrars and registries run first-year promotions to win the initial registration, then charge a higher standard rate at renewal. Because you renew every year but register only once, the renewal price usually dominates the true long-term cost. This page shows both so you are not surprised at renewal.
Are these prices verified?+
Yes. Every price on this page was read from the registrar's own pricing source and carries a last-checked date. Registrars whose pricing we have not yet verified are excluded from this ranking so a stale figure can never appear as the cheapest.
