First-year vs renewal price gap by registrar and TLD

49 of the 79 registrar and TLD rows with both a first-year price and a renewal price list a first year that costs less than a renewal year. The largest gap is $65.69 (read 2026-10-08) per year, at NearlyFreeSpeech.NET for .tech (547.4% above its first-year price). Rows are sorted by that gap, largest first.

Gap = renewal price - first-year price; the percentage is the gap divided by the first-year price. The first-year price is the first-year sale price when the registrar's page showed one on the price date, and the regular registration price otherwise; the column says which. Rows where the renewal price is equal to or below the first-year price are left out. Prices are USD list prices on the dates shown and a sale can end at any time.
