.rocks domain — straight answers
How much does a .rocks domain cost?
The lowest first-year price is $7.21 at Porkbun, then $18.02 to renew/yr. Over 3 years the cheapest total cost of ownership is $43.25. The median renewal across the 5 registrars we compare is $18.38/yr, so picking the cheapest scores 58/100 on value.
Where is the cheapest place to renew a .rocks domain?
Spaceship has the lowest ongoing renewal at $17.30/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 $17.30 to $20.18.
Is the first-year price a trap?
Sometimes. The cheapest first year ($7.21) is below its own renewal ($18.02), 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.
