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 $5.83 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is cloudean at $106.39. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $100.56 — 5% less:
- Register at AlibabaCloud 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.

.tools frequently asked questions
01How much does a .tools domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $7.00 at AlibabaCloud. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $22.49 at cloudean, so five years costs $100.56.
02Why is .tools renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 221% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .tools for five years?
Register at AlibabaCloud, then transfer to Vebonix before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $100.56 against $106.39 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $5.83.
04Who runs the .tools registry?
Binky Moon, LLC. Registrars sell .tools names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .tools domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .tools. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
