## How .link is priced

5 of the 9 registrars whose .link pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 4 discount year one (median renewal 3.1× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $5.00 to $39.98 a year.

A flat seller and a discounted one can look identical in year one and differ sharply by year three, so compare the renewal or the multi-year total.

Computed from the 9 verified .link prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .link.
