All prices in USD for a one-year term, as published by each registrar. Registry and ICANN fees are included where the registrar includes them; taxes are not. Confirm at checkout before buying.
Save $17.81 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is NicNames at $230.00. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $212.19 — 8% less:
- Register at Unstoppable for the first year.
- Transfer to Vebonix before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at Vebonix for years three to five.
Registries require a name to be 60 days old before it can transfer, so plan the move for renewal time rather than straight after registering.

.bio frequently asked questions
01How much does a .bio domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $2.67 at Unstoppable. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $52.38 at Vebonix, so five years costs $212.19.
02Why is .bio renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 1862% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .bio for five years?
Register at Unstoppable, then transfer to Vebonix before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $212.19 against $230.00 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $17.81.
04Who runs the .bio registry?
Identity Digital Domains Limited. Registrars sell .bio names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .bio domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .bio. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
