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.

Current catalogue prices. Savings compare the total with one year of registration plus annual renewals at today’s rates. Future renewal rates may change. Only available priced terms are listed.
.pro: registration TSh 8,528 (researched ≈ $3.28); renewal TSh 97,656 (researched ≈ $37.56) per year.
Term Total Price Savings vs Annual Renewal Action
1 year ≈ $3.28 No saving Search domains

3 years ≈ $78.40 No saving Search domains
4 years ≈ $115.96 No saving Search domains
5 years ≈ $153.52 No saving Search domains

Select your term in checkout. Domain availability, applicable promotions, premium-name pricing and taxes are confirmed there.
