## How .top is priced

2 of the 8 registrars whose .top pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 6 discount year one (median renewal 2.6× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $4.05 to $31.98 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 8 verified .top prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .top.
