## How is the crypto domain price index built?

We collected first-year and renewal prices for 9 extensions on 8 October 2026. Rules:

- **Sources**: the registrar's pricing page for Porkbun, Dynadot, Njalla, 1984 Hosting and OrangeWebsite; domainoffer.net, updated 8 October 2026, for the others; cfdomainpricing.com for Cloudflare.
- **Promo codes**: first-year prices on domainoffer.net may include a code. We name it when we know it.
- **ICANN fee**: Namecheap and Hostinger prices include the $0.20 ICANN fee they add at checkout.
- **Euros**: Njalla and OrangeWebsite price in euros. Njalla's dollar figures use the rate shown on domainoffer.net.

*Prices checked on October 8, 2026.*

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 |
| OrangeWebsite | €18.90 | €18.90 | €94.50 |
| Gandi | $11.00 | $38.38 | $164.52 |

*Prices checked on October 8, 2026.*

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](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/com-price-increase-november-2026/) and the [.net price increase](https://buydomainscrypto.com/news/net-price-increase-march-2027/).

## 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](https://buydomainscrypto.com/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](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/), and each extension has its own page under [all extensions](https://buydomainscrypto.com/tld/). Competitor prices on this page are a dated snapshot. We plan to re-check them after the 1 November 2026 .com increase.

## Crypto domain price index: FAQ

### What is the cheapest .com I can pay for in crypto?

Among registrars that confirm crypto, Dynadot listed the lowest regular .com on 8 October 2026: $10.88 for the first year and the renewal. Porkbun followed at $11.08, paid in USDC. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $11.49/year for both, paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC with no KYC. Namecheap's $6.99 needs a promo code and renews at $14.98.

### Why are some first-year domain prices so low?

Because of promo codes or registry promotions. Namecheap's $6.99 .com needs the new-customer code NEWCOM679; Spaceship's $2.90 needs COMPROS. On .xyz, several registrars sell the first year for about $2 and renew at $14 to $40. Compare the renewal price, which you pay every year after the first.

### How much does a .io domain cost in crypto?

As of 8 October 2026, a .io renewal paid in crypto cost from €45, about $50.64 (Njalla), to $79.99 (1984 Hosting) or €92 (OrangeWebsite). Cloudflare's at-cost renewal is $50.00. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $32.99 for the first year and $50.49 to renew, with no KYC.

### How much does a .ai domain cost in crypto?

Most registrars sell .ai for at least 2 years. As of 8 October 2026, per year: Porkbun $82.70, Dynadot $85.60, Namecheap $84.18 then $92.18, Gandi $112.06 then $179.76. Cloudflare's at-cost price is $80.00. BuyDomainsCrypto charges $81.99/year, 2 years minimum. See [why .ai needs 2 years](https://buydomainscrypto.com/guides/ai-domain-2-year-minimum/).

### Will .com prices go up in November 2026?

Yes, at the wholesale level. Verisign's .com fee rises from $10.26 to $10.97 on 1 November 2026; with the $0.20 ICANN fee, the floor moves from $10.46 to $11.17. Each registrar decides whether to pass it on. BuyDomainsCrypto's .com, $11.49/year, is already above the new floor.

### Are your prices in pricing.json the same as on the site?

Yes. [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json), the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/), the extension pages and this index all read the same price list, so they always match. Prices are per year, in US dollars, and you pay them in crypto from a prepaid balance (minimum top-up $25).

### Can I reuse the price index?

Yes, it is free to cite with a link. Cite "Crypto Domain Price Index, BuyDomainsCrypto, prices checked 8 October 2026" and link this page. For our own prices, use [pricing.json](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing.json), which follows our price list. Report an error to support@buydomainscrypto.com with the page that shows it.
