Short answer

Spaceship has the lowest verified renewal price for .online at $21.58. AWS Route 53 prices .online flat: the first year costs the same as every renewal, so there is no promotional rate that jumps later.

How .online is priced

1 of the 11 registrars whose .online pricing we have verified prices it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 10 discount year one (median renewal 16.2× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $21.58 to $111.98 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 11 verified .online prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .online. How prices are verified.
