.education domain — straight answers
How much does a .education domain cost?
The lowest first-year price is $14.16 at Namecheap, then $31.72 to renew/yr. Over 3 years the cheapest total cost of ownership is $77.60. The median renewal across the 5 registrars we compare is $28.89/yr, so picking the cheapest scores 52/100 on value.
Where is the cheapest place to renew a .education domain?
Spaceship has the lowest ongoing renewal at $27.19/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 $27.19 to $31.72.
Is the first-year price a trap?
Sometimes. The cheapest first year ($14.16) is below its own renewal ($31.72), 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.
