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 $14.53 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is OLITT at $123.00. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $108.47 — 12% less:
- Register at Spaceship for the first year.
- Transfer to AlibabaCloud before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at AlibabaCloud 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.

.shop frequently asked questions
01How much does a .shop domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $0.87 at Spaceship. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $26.90 at AlibabaCloud, so five years costs $108.47.
02Why is .shop renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 2992% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .shop for five years?
Register at Spaceship, then transfer to AlibabaCloud before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $108.47 against $123.00 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $14.53.
04Who runs the .shop registry?
GMO Registry, Inc.. Registrars sell .shop names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .shop domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .shop. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
