Plan the Registration Beyond Year One
A longer registration can reduce the number of renewal transactions while you build. The table uses priced catalogue terms rather than multiplying an introductory offer. Any saving is measured against today’s annual-registration-and-renewal path, not a guaranteed future rate.
.blog: registration TSh 10,010 (researched ≈ $4.06); renewal TSh 75,686 (researched ≈ $29.11) per year.
