First year / renewal, per domainoffer.net.
Why does the renewal price matter more than the first year?
Because you pay the renewal every year after the first. Over 5 years, a .com at Gandi costs $164.52: $11.00 the first year, then 4 renewals at $38.38. At Cloudflare's at-cost price it costs $52.30. The first-year price hides that gap.
The same pattern shows on other extensions, as of 8 October 2026:
- Namecheap's .co starts at $8.18 and renews at $45.68, against $30.00 at cost.
- Gandi renews .io at $74.99, against $50.00 at cost.
- Hostinger renews .ai at $110.19 a year, against $80.00 at cost.
- Namecheap's .xyz starts at $2.20 and renews at $21.68, against $11.20 at cost.
BuyDomainsCrypto sells .com, .net, .co, .xyz and .ai at the same price for the first year and the renewal.
What does a .com cost over 5 years?
One first year plus 4 renewals, at the prices of 8 October 2026.
| Registrar | First year | Renewal | 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| BuyDomainsCrypto | $11.49 | $11.49 | $11.49 + 4 × $11.49 |
| Cloudflare Registrar (no crypto) | $10.46 | $10.46 | $52.30 |
| Dynadot | $10.88 | $10.88 | $54.40 |
| Porkbun | $11.08 | $11.08 | $55.40 |
| Namecheap | $6.99 (promo code) | $14.98 | $66.91 |
| 1984 Hosting | $15.99 | $15.99 | $79.95 |
| Njalla | €15 | €15 | €75 (about $84.40) |
| NameSilo | $16.29 | $17.29 | $85.45 |
| Hostinger | $8.69 | $20.19 | $89.45 |

The .com wholesale cost rises by $0.71 on 1 November 2026, so renewals after that date may cost more at every registrar.
What are the wholesale floors in 2026?
The floor is what the registry charges, plus the $0.20 ICANN fee. Cloudflare sells at that cost with no markup, so its prices are the best public estimate.
- .com: Verisign charges $10.26, so $10.46 with the ICANN fee. On 1 November 2026 it charges $10.97, so $11.17. Verisign raised the .com fee by 7 % each September from 2021 to 2024, with no rise in 2025.
- .net: Verisign charges $10.91, rising to $12.00 on 1 March 2027, plus $0.20. Cloudflare shows $11.86 today.
- .org: Public Interest Registry charges $11.00 since 1 June 2026, so $11.20 with the ICANN fee.
- Other extensions at Cloudflare: .io $32.00 then $50.00, .co $30.00, .xyz $12.30 then $11.20, .ai $80.00, .app $8.20 then $14.20, .dev $8.20 then $12.20.
BuyDomainsCrypto prices each extension at the wholesale cost plus a small margin. See the .com price increase and the .net price increase.
Which first-year prices need a promo code?
Two of the lowest first-year prices in this index need a code. Namecheap's $6.99 .com needs NEWCOM679, for new customers only; the renewal is $14.98. Spaceship's $2.90 .com needs COMPROS; the renewal is $10.18, and its crypto payment is not confirmed.
Per domainoffer.net, three prices sit below the public wholesale cost. They are the .com renewals of Spaceship ($10.18) and Sav ($10.15), and Epik's .ai at $74.95 a year, under Cloudflare's $80.00. We could not verify why; a temporary subsidy is possible. Do not plan 5 years on a price below cost.
Where are BuyDomainsCrypto prices in machine-readable form?
In pricing.json: every extension we sell, with the first year, renewal, transfer, WHOIS privacy and restrictions, per year in US dollars. The same grid is on the pricing page, and each extension has its own page under all extensions. Competitor prices on this page are a dated snapshot. We plan to re-check them after the 1 November 2026 .com increase.
