.online domain — straight answers
How much does a .online domain cost?

Where is the cheapest place to renew a .online domain?
Porkbun has the lowest ongoing renewal at $28.84/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 $28.84 to $39.98.
Is the first-year price a trap?
Sometimes. The cheapest first year ($1.96) is below its own renewal ($28.84), 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.
