## How .university is priced

4 of the 9 registrars whose .university pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 5 discount year one (median renewal 4.1× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $49.88 to $159.98 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 .university prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .university.
