.forum frequently asked questions
01How much does a .forum domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $1.04 at Spaceship. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $19.00 at AWS, so five years costs $95.00.
02Why is .forum renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 1727% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03Who runs the .forum registry?
Waterford Limited. Registrars sell .forum names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
04Is anyone allowed to register a .forum domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .forum. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
