## How .blog is priced

Every one of the 3 registrars whose .blog pricing we have verified discounts the first year. The median renewal is 6.2× the first-year price, so the advertised figure is the least useful number when comparing .blog sellers. Verified renewals run $21.11 to $22.99 a year.

An introductory price 6.2× below the renewal is a rate you pay once. Compare .blog on the renewal column, or on the three-year total.

Computed from the 3 verified .blog prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .blog.
