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 $6.24 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Whc at $59.80. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $53.56 — 10% less:
- Register at Loopia for the first year.
- Transfer to Zuffix before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at Zuffix 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.

.cloud frequently asked questions
01How much does a .cloud domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $0.90 at Loopia. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $12.62 at Whc, so five years costs $53.56.
02Why is .cloud renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 1302% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .cloud for five years?
Register at Loopia, then transfer to Zuffix before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $53.56 against $59.80 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $6.24.
04Who runs the .cloud registry?
Aruba PEC S.p.A.. Registrars sell .cloud names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .cloud domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .cloud. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
