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 .tech prices
- Vercel Domains, read 2026-10-08: The page lists $7.99 as the registration price with no 'normally' price next to it; renewal is $49.00, so later years cost more than the first.
- Porkbun, read 2026-10-08: First-year sale: registration is $6.99 today (pricing endpoint); the regular registration price $50.98 is from the price list page, which labels the sale '1st Yr Sale!'.
- Hover, read 2026-10-08: Page shows 'Registrations $63.99$4.99/ year USD' and 'Renewals & Transfers $63.99/ year USD', with no label on the two registration prices. $63.99 is stored as the regular registration price because it equals the renewal price; $4.99 is stored as the promo price. The page does not say how long the lower price applies.
- NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, read 2026-10-08: The registration cell shows '$12.00 $77.69'; the page says discounts are shown next to the regular price, so $77.69 is stored as the regular price and $12.00 as the promo price. WHOIS privacy is a paid extra at this registrar.
