.help frequently asked questions
01How much does a .help domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $0.99 at GoDaddy. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $9.00 at AWS, so five years costs $45.00.
02Why is .help renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 809% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03Who runs the .help registry?
Innovation service Limited. Registrars sell .help names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
04Is anyone allowed to register a .help domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .help. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
