Cheapest first year right now is $4.48 at Dynadot, and the renewal barely moves — one of the few extensions where the introductory price tells the truth.
All 33 registrars, cheapest first
ICANN’s $0.18 fee is listed separately where the registrar excludes it from the headline price. Sort any column, or hide the ones you do not need.
