## How .xyz is priced

1 of the 6 registrars whose .xyz pricing we have verified prices it flat — first year the same as every renewal — while the other 5 discount year one (median renewal 6.4× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $12.72 to $19.99 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 6 verified .xyz prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .xyz.
