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 $3.06 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is NameBright at $50.00. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $46.94 — 6% less:
- Register at Spaceship for the first year.
- Transfer to NameBright before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at NameBright 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.

.contact frequently asked questions
01How much does a .contact domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $6.94 at Spaceship. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $10.00 at NameBright, so five years costs $46.94.
02Does .contact get more expensive after the first year?
Renewal is 44% above the first year, so what you see at sign-up is close to what you keep paying.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .contact for five years?
Register at Spaceship, then transfer to NameBright before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $46.94 against $50.00 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $3.06.
04Who runs the .contact registry?
Dog Beach, LLC. Registrars sell .contact names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .contact domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .contact. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
