Pricing
Plans that make sense on invoice day
Renewal prices match signup prices for hosting. Domains show their renewal before checkout. That's the whole trick.
Annual hosting plans $7.49/mo and up include a domain free for year one
The price lock
Year two costs what year one did
Promotional hosting pricing is the industry's default: a headline rate for year one, then a renewal two to seventeen times higher, held in place by the hassle of moving. We don't do it. Your hosting rate is the rate — renew it in year two, year five, or year ten and the number does not move.
- Hosting rate locked for the life of the account — no renewal step-up
- Domain renewals shown next to the first-year price, before you pay
- Registry cost changes are passed through, not hidden behind a promo

Required disclosures
Fees, in one place
ICANN's Expired Registration Recovery Policy requires a registrar to display its renewal fee, its renewal-after-expiry fee, and its redemption/restore fee on its website, and to link to them from the registration agreement. Three fees, listed equally, before you buy — which is the whole point of the rule.
Renewal
Our priceThe renewal price printed next to the first-year price for every TLD we sell — shown before you pay, and the same in year two unless the registry's own cost moved.
Renewal after expiry
Our priceThe ordinary renewal price. We add no late fee and no reactivation fee for a domain, so a renewal that arrives late costs the same as one that arrives on time.
Redemption / restore
Passed through at costQuoted live for your nameThe registry's restore fee, passed through with no markup, plus the normal renewal — currently around $41.40 on a .com. We quote the exact figure for your name and wait for your agreement before we act; it is never charged automatically.
How expiry notices reach you
Email to the registered name holder, at the address on the registration — about one month and about one week before expiry, and again within five days after it if the registration has not been renewed. They need no click, no login and no dashboard visit to arrive.
These fees are linked from the registration agreement, as the policy requires — and this section is where that link lands.
