Domain price changes
Registries set a wholesale price for each extension and registrars add their margin. When a registry raises its price, registrars usually pass it on within weeks. Here is what’s been announced and what TLDMath’s daily price checks have caught.
The TLDMath Renewal Index tracks what renewing costs across 20 extensions, daily.

Registry increases from the past year.
How these numbers are made
- Source
- Each registrar’s own price list, read through its API: Porkbun, Namecheap, Dynadot, Cloudflare, Vercel, NameSilo, Name.com and Hostinger. Standard prices in US dollars. Premium names cost more: search a name for its live price.
- Captured
- Once a day. Every day’s prices are kept, so each change has a date.
- Two-year cost
- The first year plus one renewal. Where an extension has a longer minimum term (.ai is two years), the minimum term is what you pay.
- True cost
- Over 1, 2 or 5 years: the first term plus yearly renewals at today’s standard prices, at one registrar. Shown as the cheapest, typical (median) and highest across registrars. Announced registry changes are listed apart, never added in.
- Transfer
- The price to move a domain you already own to that registrar. At most extensions it adds a year at that price; .uk moves free and adds no year. After that you renew at that registrar’s renewal price. A dash means the registrar’s price list doesn’t include it.
- Restore fee
- What a registrar charges to get a domain back after it expires and the renewal grace period ends (redemption). Shown where the registrar’s price list includes it (Namecheap, Dynadot and Name.com). The other registrars’ price lists don’t.
- Renewal jump
- The renewal price divided by the first-year price, for the lowest first-year offer. A jump of 1.5× or more is marked as a promo.
- Price changes
- A change is listed when a registrar’s standard price moves by at least $0.50 or 5%. Also as a feed: RSS · JSON Feed:
/prices/feed.json.
How price increases work
- Generic extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .xyz, .dev and .app are run under contracts with ICANN. Registries must announce renewal increases months in advance, and you can renew at the current price before they apply.
- Country-code extensions such as .io, .ai, .co and .me are set by their national registries. ICANN’s notice rules don’t apply to them.
- A registration can run at most 10 years ahead. Renewing for several years before an increase locks in today’s price for those years.
- Registrars can also change their own margins at any time. That is what the daily table above catches.
Registry prices are wholesale, before registrar margins, ICANN fees and taxes. Announcements come from the registries via the linked reports.
