.design domain — straight answers
How much does a .design domain cost?
The lowest first-year price is $10.81 at Porkbun, then $46.86 to renew/yr. Over 3 years the cheapest total cost of ownership is $104.53. The median renewal across the 5 registrars we compare is $42.98/yr, so picking the cheapest scores 58/100 on value.
Where is the cheapest place to renew a .design domain?
Cloudflare has the lowest ongoing renewal at $38.18/yr. Renewal — not the first-year promo — is what you pay every year, so it's the number that matters most for a domain you keep. Across all 5 registrars the annual renewal ranges from $38.18 to $46.86.
Is the first-year price a trap?
Sometimes. The cheapest first year ($10.81) is below its own renewal ($46.86), and some registrars dangle an even lower promo that renews far higher. We rank by 3-year total cost, not the headline first-year price, so the promo can't hide a steep renewal. Always check the renewal before you buy.
