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 .us prices
- Porkbun, read 2026-10-08: First-year sale: registration is $4.43 today (pricing endpoint); the regular registration price $7.00 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 $8.55. The page marks WHOIS privacy 'Not included' for .us.
- NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, read 2026-10-08: The registration cell shows '$6.99 $10.99'; the page says discounts are shown next to the regular price, so $10.99 is stored as the regular price and $6.99 as the promo price. WHOIS privacy is a paid extra at this registrar.
- Hover, read 2026-10-08: Page lists the same price under 'New Registrations', 'Renewals' and 'Transfers' with a $ sign and no currency code; Hover's pricing page states all pricing is in USD.
