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 $8.72 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Dotology at $56.84. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $48.12 — 15% less:
- Register at Porkbun for the first year.
- Transfer to Vebonix before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at Vebonix 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 .rocks in a new tab, so the answer comes from a registrar rather than from us.

.rocks frequently asked questions
01How much does a .rocks domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $2.60 at Porkbun. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $11.38 at Vebonix, so five years costs $48.12.
02Why is .rocks renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 338% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .rocks for five years?
Register at Porkbun, then transfer to Vebonix before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $48.12 against $56.84 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $8.72.
04Who runs the .rocks registry?
Dog Beach, LLC. Registrars sell .rocks names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .rocks domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .rocks. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
