The registration price gets your attention. The renewal price is what you keep paying.
tld.wiki brings domain extensions and registrar pricing into one comparison, with separate views of registration, renewal, transfer and estimated three-year costs.
Compare the cost of keeping the domain
For a simple three-year comparison, start with the first-year registration price plus two annual renewals. A hypothetical $2 registration with $25 renewals totals $52. A $12 registration with $12 renewals totals $36. The cheaper first year is not necessarily the cheaper domain to keep.
Check how long a promotion lasts and whether you qualify before using it in that calculation. Treat a transfer price separately: transferring is a different action from registering a new domain, and its conditions matter.
Shortlist the extension, then check the name
On tld.wiki you can browse extensions by category, compare registrar prices, and filter for internationalized domains or extension types. Registration, renewal and transfer prices have separate columns, alongside a best three-year value view. Registrar filters include payment methods, and optional columns include WHOIS privacy and DNSSEC.
An extension's standard price does not establish that a particular domain is available at that price. Search the full name, then check its availability and premium classification. Review the extension's eligibility, local-presence and naming requirements too.
That gives you a practical sequence: shortlist suitable extensions, compare the ongoing costs, check the exact name, and confirm the registrar's current checkout terms before buying.
