## How .online is priced

Every one of the 6 registrars whose .online pricing we have verified discounts the first year. The median renewal is 13.8× the first-year price, so the advertised figure is the least useful number when comparing .online sellers. Verified renewals run $21.58 to $38.50 a year.

An introductory price 13.8× below the renewal is a rate you pay once. Compare .online on the renewal column, or on the three-year total.

Computed from the 6 verified .online prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .online.
