5-year cost = first-year price + 4 x renew. The first-year price is the first-year sale price when the registrar's page showed one on the price date (column 'First-year sale'); otherwise it is the regular register price. The row marked 'lowest 5-year cost' has the lowest such total among the registrars compared here, nothing more. A sale can end at any time, and then the first year costs the regular price.
3-year cost = register + 2 x renew, using the regular register price and no sale price. Sources are the registrars' own public price pages, named as plain text.
Notes on the .cloud prices
- Porkbun, read 2026-10-08: First-year sale: registration is $3.88 today (pricing endpoint); the regular registration price $21.11 is from the price list page, which labels the sale '1st Yr Sale!'.
- Vercel Domains, read 2026-10-08: The page lists $7.99 as the registration price with no 'normally' price next to it; renewal is $24.00, so later years cost more than the first.
- Hover, read 2026-10-08: Page shows two registration prices with no label, $34.99 and $3.99, and $34.99 under 'Renewals & Transfers'. $34.99 is stored as the regular registration price because it equals the renewal price; $3.99 is stored as the promo price. The page does not say how long the lower price applies.
- NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, no one-year price, page read 2026-10-08: The price page has no row for this TLD.
