How .sh is priced
1 of the 8 registrars whose .sh pricing we have verified prices it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 7 discount year one (median renewal 1.5× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $46.58 to $167.98 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.
