Find the lowest prices on domain names — How to

Compare registrar pricing on domain names.

When you own hundreds, thousands or more domain names, registration and renewal prices matter.

While .com prices don’t vary much from registrar to registrar, prices on fresh TLDs and country code domains can be priced orders of magnitude higher from one registrar to the next.

Now you can easily see how much registrars charge with Registra.rs, a service from domain sales price engine DNPric.es.

Not only can you see the first year registration price, but you can also quickly compare renewal and transfer prices. This is notable since some registrars have discounted first-year prices but much more expensive renewal prices.

For example, if you’re looking for a .audio domain, you’ll see that AlpNames and 1&1 have the lowest first-year price. But 1&1 will double the price in year two, so if you plan to hold onto the domain, you might want to register it somewhere else.

Of course, if you have special pricing with your registrar, this won’t be reflected in the price charts.

This is a useful and free tool worth checking out.
