## How .art is priced

Every one of the 4 registrars whose .art pricing we have verified discounts the first year. The median renewal is 6.7× the first-year price, so the advertised figure is the least useful number when comparing .art sellers. Verified renewals run $21.11 to $32.98 a year.

An introductory price 6.7× below the renewal is a rate you pay once. Compare .art on the renewal column, or on the three-year total.

Computed from the 4 verified .art prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .art.
