How we calculate
Prices come from registrar APIs, registrar price pages and price lists we check around the clock; each page shows when it was last updated. First-year promo prices are checked in a clean browser cart before we show them as verified. The 3-year and 5-year totals are the first-year price plus renewals at today's renewal price, at the same registrar. Prices are in USD at ECB exchange rates and may exclude VAT and the $0.20 ICANN fee. Rankings are by price only; affiliate links do not change the order. Details on how we verify.
