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 $3.44 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Rayname at $26.58. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $23.14 — 13% less:
- Register at Porkbun for the first year.
- Transfer to NamesLink before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at NamesLink 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.

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

.work frequently asked questions
01How much does a .work domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $1.06 at Porkbun. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $5.52 at NamesLink, so five years costs $23.14.
02Why is .work renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 421% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .work for five years?
Register at Porkbun, then transfer to NamesLink before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $23.14 against $26.58 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $3.44.
04Who runs the .work registry?
Registry Services, LLC. Registrars sell .work names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Is anyone allowed to register a .work domain?
We have no record of an eligibility restriction on .work. Registries can change policy, so confirm at the registrar before buying.
