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 $7.54 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Spaceship at $64.09. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $56.55 — 12% less:
- Register at IONOS for the first year.
- Transfer to Spaceship before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at Spaceship 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.

01How much does a .me domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $1.00 at IONOS. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $14.00 at NicNames, so five years costs $56.55.
02Why is .me renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 1300% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .me for five years?
Register at IONOS, then transfer to Spaceship before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $56.55 against $64.09 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $7.54.
04Who runs the .me registry?
The IANA root database records the sponsoring organisation for .me. Registrars sell .me names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .me domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .me. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
