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 $1.80 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Amazon Route 53 at $80.00. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $78.20 — 2% less:
- Register at NicNames for the first year.
- Transfer to Amazon Route 53 before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at Amazon Route 53 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.

.pics frequently asked questions
01How much does a .pics domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $1.20 at NicNames. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $16.00 at Amazon Route 53, so five years costs $78.20.
02Why is .pics renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 1233% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .pics for five years?
Register at NicNames, then transfer to Amazon Route 53 before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $78.20 against $80.00 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $1.80.
04Who runs the .pics registry?
XYZ.COM LLC. Registrars sell .pics names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .pics domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .pics. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
