Short answer

How .tech is priced

1 of the 11 registrars whose .tech pricing we have verified prices it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 10 discount year one (median renewal 7.8× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $49.00 to $105.00 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.

Computed from the 11 verified .tech prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .tech. How prices are verified.
