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 $444.57 over five years by not staying put.

The cheapest single registrar for five years is NameSilo at $27495.00. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $27050.43 — 2% less:

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

We do not hold live availability. This opens Porkbun's own search for your name under .whoswho in a new tab, so the answer comes from a registrar rather than from us.
