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 $1.16 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Spaceship at $43.40. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $42.24 — 3% less:
- Register at Spaceship for the first year.
- Transfer to NicNames before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at NicNames 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.

.tel frequently asked questions
01How much does a .tel domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $5.44 at Spaceship. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $9.20 at NicNames, so five years costs $42.24.
02Why is .tel renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 69% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .tel for five years?
Register at Spaceship, then transfer to NicNames before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $42.24 against $43.40 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $1.16.
04Who runs the .tel registry?
Telnames Limited. Registrars sell .tel names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .tel domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .tel. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
