.pro domain — straight answers
How much does a .pro domain cost?
The lowest first-year price is $15.18 at Cloudflare, then $15.18 to renew/yr. Over 3 years the cheapest total cost of ownership is $45.54. The median renewal across the 5 registrars we compare is $17.98/yr, so picking the cheapest scores 54/100 on value.
Where is the cheapest place to renew a .pro domain?
Cloudflare has the lowest ongoing renewal at $15.18/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 $15.18 to $22.14.
Is the first-year price a trap?
For .pro the cheapest first year ($15.18) is in line with its renewal ($15.18/yr), so there's no bait-and-switch here. We still rank by 3-year total cost rather than the headline first-year price, because a cheap first year elsewhere can hide a steep renewal.
