No Tricks
Pricing that survives a second reading
Year two, visible from day one
The renewal rate sits beside the registration rate from the start, so your second invoice holds no surprises.
WHOIS privacy included
Your name, address and telephone number stay out of the public record on every name — no upsell, no extra line on the bill.
500+ extensions to pick from
Mainstays like .com and .org, favourites like .io, .dev and .store, plus hundreds of specialist endings — each priced in plain sight.
Renewal Rates
Whatever rate you compare today is the rate you go on paying
A good many registrars sell year one below cost, then treble the figure once you are tied in. That is not how we work. The renewal rate sits one column over, so the figure you weigh up now is the figure you keep paying.
- The renewal printed beside the registration price
- Year two arrives with no price rise
- Every renewal bills at the same rate
- Auto-renew, on one switch
Built-In Privacy
Your contact details never appear in public
The instant a name is registered, your name, address and telephone number disappear from the public WHOIS database. They stay hidden for the life of the name, and the service never turns up as a charge.
- WHOIS shows placeholders, not you
- Active on every eligible name
- Cuts the spam calls and phishing bait
- Never pitched back as an add-on
Already Covered
No footnotes, no forced add-ons
No forced extras
Privacy, DNS management and forwarding are inside the price, so a working name never needs an add-on.
Renewal rates that hold
The figure in the table today is the figure on your card next year — and every year after that.
One yearly charge
Names bill once a year, with the full amount shown before you confirm. No pro-rata arithmetic, no stray fees to untangle.
Transfers get the same rates
Bring a name in and it renews at our published price, usually with an extra year added to the time you had left.
Every ending in one table
Familiar endings and newer ones share the same list, so matching a name to a budget takes moments.
Prices you can budget on
Every figure is quoted in USD with nothing added for currency, so the table price is the statement price.
Pair It Up
Add hosting and the SSL costs nothing
Aim the name at our hosting from $2.42/mo and the padlock switches on without your touching a single file — name, SSL and site together in one account, on one invoice.
- SSL installed for you, free
- One dashboard and one bill
- Your site running within minutes
- Moving in? The migration is on us

When the year turns over, you pay exactly what this page said. Nothing extra reaches the invoice.

Reading The Table
Three figures, and only one of them gets advertised
The registration price buys year one. The renewal price is what you pay every year after, so it is the figure your budget actually lives with. The transfer price applies if you ever bring the name in from elsewhere. Most registrars put the first on the banner and leave you to discover the second.
The gap between those first two figures is where the industry earns its margin. A first-year rate can sit at a fraction of the renewal; you sign up for the cheap figure and then pay the expensive one for a decade. Every row above carries both, side by side, so the comparison takes a glance rather than a spreadsheet.
The third figure is the one people forget until they need it. Transfer a name here and it joins our published renewal rate — and on most endings it collects a full extra year on top of whatever term you had left, which quietly makes the switch cheaper than staying.
Where to go from here
Move a name to us
One EPP code, no downtime, and a bonus year where the ending allows it.
.pk names, straight from PKNIC
An ending most international registrars cannot reach at all.

FAQ
Domain pricing questions, answered
Why do the registration and renewal prices differ?
Many registries discount year one to get names moving, but the renewal rate is what a name really costs to keep. We list both side by side so you budget on the long-run figure instead of chasing a first-year promotion.
Does WHOIS privacy genuinely cost nothing?
It does — every eligible name gets it from the moment you register, it stays active for as long as the name is yours, and it never appears on an invoice. In the public listing your contact details are swapped out automatically.
How many endings are on offer?
Over 500, running from everyday choices like .com, .net and .org through to .io, .dev, .store and .tech. The table above covers the most requested; type any name into the search to pull live pricing on the rest.
Is there a reduction for paying several years up front?
Any year bought in advance costs the yearly rate shown, and renewals after that follow the published renewal figure. Once a term is paid, its price is fixed — it cannot rise partway through.
Will checkout add anything on top?
Nothing. The price beside each ending is exactly what your card is billed, in USD. No set-up fee, no compulsory add-on, no surprise line — privacy and DNS management are already inside the price.
If I transfer a name in, what do I pay?
The name moves onto our published renewal rate, and most endings gain a full extra year on top of the time you already had. Your site keeps serving throughout the transfer, so nothing drops offline.
Take the name at the listed rate.
Registering takes seconds, privacy is free, and you knew the renewal rate before you began.
Find Your DomainTwo numbers decide what a name costs you: the one that gets advertised and the one you pay every year after. Both share a row here, which turns the comparison into a glance rather than an investigation. The engineering is plain enough: NVMe disks, LiteSpeed over HTTP/2, and monitoring that pages an engineer before you notice anything.
The plans are meant for buyers who check the cost of year two before ordering, and the price is complete: certificate, migration, nightly backups and staffed support arrive with the account rather than on a separate line.
Reading a domain price properly
Every row in the table pairs a registration rate with a renewal rate, and the search behind it reaches all 500+ endings we sell, from .com and .org through .io, .dev and .store. Nothing is held back for the checkout screen: WHOIS privacy, DNS management, forwarding and auto-renew are inside the price rather than beside it, and the charge is in USD with no currency loading added on top.
The hardware carries the weight: 100% NVMe storage, LiteSpeed over HTTP/2, and a 99.9% uptime SLA our monitoring desk stands behind. Quick pages please visitors and search engines equally.
Where registrars actually make their money
No second price waits in year two. The listed rate is the invoiced rate, this term and every term after, and any opening offer shows its renewal figure beside it. Registration is the one line here that cannot be reversed: the registry claims the name the second the order clears, whatever policy a registrar prints. That is exactly why both figures share a row, the one you pay now and the one you pay every year afterwards.
Registration starts at $2.99 and varies by ending rather than by customer: what the registry charges sets the floor, and the margin over it does not move once you are inside. Multi-year terms bill each year at the listed rate, and a term already paid cannot be repriced part way through. There is no setup fee, no compulsory add-on, and no line that appears only after a card number has been typed.
What holds a name up once it is yours
Registrations answer from redundant nameservers in our London datacentre, so an edited record is live within minutes wherever the reader happens to be. The locks, the contact changes and auto-renew all live in the panel beside the hosting. WHOIS privacy applies on every ending whose registry permits it, and where a registry publishes contact details regardless, that is the registry's rule and you hear it from us before ordering.
We do not wait for a customer to report an outage. Fleet monitoring runs minute by minute and wakes an engineer first, so what usually reaches you is the fix rather than the fault.
- Register and renew printed on the same row
- 500+ extensions sold, one currency throughout
- Our own engineers handle all patching
- Minute-by-minute monitoring from our network desk
Good to Know

Engineers answering

No renewal surprises
This year's bill equals next year's bill. That is the entire policy.
99.9% uptime, under SLA
The figure is in the SLA rather than only the marketing, and our monitoring desk answers for it.
A panel that stays out of the way
Everyday tools are two clicks deep at most, and none of them is held back for a bigger tier.

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Why does one ending cost ten times another?
The registry behind it, very largely. Each ending is run by a different organisation on a different commercial footing: a legacy registry carrying tens of millions of names prices at volume, while a niche or country-code registry with a fraction of that demand charges what its operation costs to run. The registrar's margin is the smaller share of the figure and the share that holds steady here, which is why .com and .io are so far apart in the table and yet both renew at precisely what the table prints.
How soon is a name mine after paying?
On the common endings the registration completes while you are still on the confirmation screen and the name appears in your panel immediately. Resolving to a website is a separate step: set the nameservers, then let the internet's caches catch up, which is usually minutes and occasionally a few hours. A handful of country-code registries file by hand, .pk among them, and for those a working day is the honest figure.
Do I need to buy a certificate for the domain?
Not when the site is on our hosting: the certificate is issued and renewed free as soon as the name points here, on every plan including the cheapest. A name on its own is only an entry in a registry, with nothing to encrypt until a site is attached, so if you host elsewhere the certificate belongs to that host. For the projects that genuinely need one, wildcard and organisation-validated certificates are sold separately.
Can a domain be cancelled for a refund?
No, and treat anyone who claims otherwise with caution: the registry takes the name the moment the order clears, which is why registration is the one thing on this site with no window behind it. Hosting bought alongside keeps its full 30-day money-back guarantee. The protection on the name itself is the table, since you see the renewal rate before paying, so the long-run cost is never a discovery.
