Cheapest first year right now is $69.99 at GoDaddy, but it renews 386% higher — the sign-up price is not the price you keep paying.
All 35 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.

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 $307.99 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Porkbun at $1670.95. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $1362.96 — 18% less:
- Register at GoDaddy for the first year.
- Transfer to OnlyDomains before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at OnlyDomains 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.

We do not hold live availability. This opens Porkbun's own search for your name under .hosting in a new tab, so the answer comes from a registrar rather than from us.

.hosting frequently asked questions
01How much does a .hosting domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $69.99 at GoDaddy. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $340.37 at Porkbun, so five years costs $1362.96.
02Why is .hosting renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 386% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .hosting for five years?

04Who runs the .hosting registry?
XYZ.COM LLC. Registrars sell .hosting names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .hosting domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .hosting. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
