Domain cost calculator
The true cost of a domain is the renewal, not the first-year promo. This shows the total over 1, 3, 5, and 10 years — first-year + (years − 1) × renewal — across the registrars we've verified. Ranked by 10-year total.
Over 10 years, Dynadot is the cheapest verified option at $108.80 ($10.88/yr). That's $81.10 less than the priciest verified option (Hover) over the same decade.

Why the 10-year total matters
A domain you register for a website or brand is rarely a one-year purchase — you keep it for years. A "$1 first year" that renews at $35 costs over $300 across a decade, while a low-markup registrar with a flat ~$10 renewal costs about $100. The first-year price is a hook; the 10-year total is the real number. See how much a domain really costs in our cost guide.
