Cheapest Domain Prices
The lowest registration price today for eight popular extensions, with the registrar that lists it. Refreshed daily.
Type a domain name with or without its extension and the search reports two things: whether the registry currently holds a record for that name, and what registrars charge to register and renew its extension. A result shows the extension's cheapest registration price first, the renewal that follows, and totals over five and ten years for each registrar listed. It is a starting point for a purchase decision, independent of any registrar, with a daily price snapshot rather than a live quote.
No extension means .com, and the answer comes from the registry's RDAP record
Input is forgiving. A name entered without an extension is treated as .com; a leading http://, a www. prefix and a trailing slash are stripped before the lookup runs, so a pasted address works as well as a bare label. The check then goes to the registry's RDAP server for that extension — the server list is generated from IANA's RDAP bootstrap with a few hand-verified country-code entries — and returns one of three outcomes. No record means the name is available. A record means it is registered, and the page reports the registrar of record with the registration and expiry dates, which is the whole of what it reads: not ownership history, and not who holds the name. Some extensions have no RDAP server at all; those return a not-supported answer, and the price table for the extension still shows. Available is the registry's record at the moment of the check — not a reservation, and not a promise that every registrar sells that extension. For more than the registrar and two dates, the WHOIS lookup returns the fuller registry record, and the domain age checker measures how long a name has been registered. To test a list rather than one label, the bulk availability checker takes up to 100 names at once. What a registry record exposes about the holder is covered in the WHOIS privacy guide.
Up to 15 registrars are listed cheapest registration first, with renewal and multi-year totals beside it
For the searched extension the table shows up to 15 registrars, sorted by registration price, with the cheapest flagged. Four columns: registration, renewal, five-year — one registration plus four renewals — and ten-year, one registration plus nine. There is no transfer column; transfer prices live on the extension page, which Show all opens with every registrar listed. A Visit button and the registrar's name open that registrar's page on this site, where its catalog and prices are collected. The spread is worth reading before the first-year number. Across registrars, .com registration runs from $6.99 to $25.06, a factor of 3.6. The cheapest listing, Internet.bs at $6.99, renews at $14.25 — 2 times its registration. A registrar that renews at what it charges changes the arithmetic; Cloudflare, Dynadot and NameBright are among the 5 that do, the lowest at $10.46. Prices are a daily snapshot taken by a scheduled job, not a live quote. Verify on the registrar's own website before buying — any purchase happens there, on its own site. This site compares and does not sell.
Seven other extensions are priced for the same name, and the renewal decides
Alongside the availability answer, a result shows the same name on seven other extensions from the default eight, each with its lowest registration price, so the choice between a label on one extension and the same label elsewhere is visible at a glance. Before anything is typed, the eight cards on this page do the same job for the first entries of a hand-picked popular list. The lowest first-year price is not the whole comparison. .shop enters at $0.88 and renews at $29.89, a multiple of 34; .online, .site and .space follow the same shape. Five years on that basis comes to $120.44, against $63.99 for the cheapest .com and $52.30 at the lowest-priced flat-renewal registrar. The multi-year columns exist for exactly this reason. To weigh registrars head to head, the comparison tool sets up to five side by side. The registrar directory lists every registrar with its catalog size and prices — Regery prices the most extensions at 2,484, Alibaba Cloud the fewest at 168 — and the extension directory covers every extension with a page of its own. For the choice between classic and newer extensions, the .com vs .net vs .org guide is the place to start; for everything beyond the first-year price, the registrar guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the availability check work?
The page asks the registry's RDAP server for the extension you searched. RDAP is the registry lookup protocol that succeeds WHOIS, and the server list comes from IANA's bootstrap file with a few hand-verified country-code entries. No record means the name is available. A record means it is registered, and the page shows the registrar of record with the registration and expiry dates. A few extensions have no RDAP server; the page says so and still shows their prices.
Where do the prices in the results table come from?
From the same daily snapshot as every other page here: a scheduled job collects each registrar's registration and renewal prices at 06:00 UTC and rebuilds the site. The table lists up to 15 registrars for the extension you searched, cheapest registration first, with the renewal price and the five- and ten-year totals beside it. Check the registrar's own website before you buy.
What if I do not type an extension?
The name is treated as a .com. The results still show seven other extensions for the same name, each with its lowest registration price, so you can switch if the .com is taken or costs more than you want to pay.
Does this site sell domains?
No. It compares prices and checks availability; it is not a registrar and registers nothing. Each row in the results table links to that registrar's page on this site, which lists every extension it prices, and the registration itself happens on the registrar's own website. Some outbound links on the site are affiliate links, as the footer discloses.
