Looking up…
Reading the list.
- First year: the price to register today. Renewal: every year after. Transfer: moving a name in from another registrar.
- 5 years: the first year plus four renewals, the fairest single number to compare.
- A renewal in red costs at least half again the first year: the cheap start does not last.
Questions people ask.
Why does the renewal cost more than the first year?
Registries and registrars often discount the first year of newer extensions to win the sale; the renewal is the regular price. A name you keep costs its renewal price every year after the first.
Where do these prices come from?
From Porkbun's public price list, in US dollars before tax, refreshed every six hours. Other registrars charge differently; for .si, the .si price comparison lists several.
Which extension is cheapest?
Over time, not always the one with the cheapest first year. The full list sorts every extension by its five-year cost, first year plus four renewals.
Are some names more expensive than the list price?
Yes. Registries price some short or popular names as premium, at many times the standard price; the list shows the standard price, and the checkout shows the real one.
