.email TLD is around $25/year, which seems too expensive when .com is less than a half, but it would make it easier to explain why there is no website behind my domain (as I just want something for email).

But there’s also more expensive options, so I am curious what you’re paying.

    Porkbun 10$ for a year iirc for my .com

    I moved there from Namecheap who wanted almost $17 for my domain, and didn’t provide API services

    I bought my first year from namecheap for $6 but now it’s a $70 renewal, I’m looking to transfer but prices elsewhere aren’t much better.

    This is for a .wtf domain. I could buy a cheaper one, but I like .wtf

      I just renewed on Namecheap for a .com domain and e-mail for 1 mailbox.

      $67.12 for 2 years. Honestly just contact their customer service and discuss it with them. I did that last year and they dropped the cost down unaskedf for.

    Whatever domain shows up as cheapest register on tld-list if it’s a short time use domain, cheapest renewal if it’s a domain I’m planning to keep long term.

    Also a tip for people with university e-mail; you can apply to Github Education pack to get some free domain registrations alongside other cool offers.

      I really love the simplicity and security focus of Porkbun. It feels targetted at engineers, not wannabe startup CEOs.

    Im cheap and wasnt looking to build a brand so i found a $1-$2 per year domain name and figure I’ll let it expire. You could also find a free hosting site if you need/want a simple landing page.

        Domain pricing doesn’t really vary that much over most of the sites. The price is usually based on the specific domain. .com domains are usually pretty pricey. Some TLDs are very cheap.

        Porkbun. Its a .dev domain. But i think they all have deals like that. Sort by price. The renewal rate is high. I wanted it for ssl.
