How .ph is priced

3 of the 5 registrars whose .ph pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 2 discount year one (median renewal 1.5× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $44.99 to $127.98 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.
