.top frequently asked questions
01How much does a .top domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $0.99 at Namecheap. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $3.72 at Vebonix, so five years costs $17.19.
02Why is .top renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 276% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03Who runs the .top registry?
Hong Kong Zhongze International Limited. Registrars sell .top names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
04Is anyone allowed to register a .top domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .top. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
