How .best is priced
2 of the 8 registrars whose .best pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 6 discount year one (median renewal 10.3× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $18.48 to $40.00 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.
