How much does it cost to register a domain? Print

The cost of registering a domain name can vary widely based on several factors, including the domain extension (TLD), the domain registrar you choose, and any additional services or features you may want to include with your domain registration. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Standard Domain Extensions (gTLDs):

   • The cost of registering a standard domain extension, such as .com, .net, or .org, typically ranges from $10 to $50 per year. Some registrars offer promotional pricing for the first year of registration.

2. Premium Domains:

   • Premium domain names, which are considered more valuable due to their keywords or brand-ability, can cost significantly more. Prices for premium domains can range from hundreds to thousands or even millions of dollars.

3. Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs):

   • The cost of registering a ccTLD (e.g., .us, .uk, .ca) can vary depending on the specific country's registry and registrar pricing. Prices may range from $10 to $50 or more per year.

4. New gTLDs:

   • With the introduction of new generic top-level domains (new gTLDs) like .app, .blog, .tech, and many others, the cost can vary widely. Some new gTLDs may have standard pricing similar to traditional gTLDs, while others may be more expensive.

5. Registrar Fees:

   • As you search for domains you will find the cost to register clearly stated before you make a purchasing decision.  In addition, we attempt to show you additional extensions and close variations of the domain name you have selected.

6. Renewal Fees:

   • It's important to consider domain renewal fees when registering a domain. While initial registration fees may be low, renewal fees for subsequent years can be the same or higher.  We generally aim to keep these costs as low as possible.

7. Additional Services:

   • We offer add-on services such as domain privacy protection (WHOIS privacy), email hosting, website hosting, and security features. These services are in addition to the cost of registering your domain

8. Promotions and Discounts:

   • We often run promotions and discounts for the first year of registration. We either discount the price or offer coupon codes that discount the prices.

9. Domain Auctions:

   • Premium domain names or expired domains may be available through domain auctions, where prices can vary based on demand and competition among bidders.
