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 $2.02 over five years by not staying put.

The cheapest single registrar for five years is Porkbun at $1083.93. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $1081.91 — 0% less:

  1. Register at Sav for the first year.
  2. Transfer to Porkbun before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
  3. Renew at Porkbun 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.
