.studio domain — straight answers
How much does a .studio domain cost?
The lowest first-year price is $11.84 at Porkbun, then $25.23 to renew/yr. Over 3 years the cheapest total cost of ownership is $62.30. The median renewal across the 6 registrars we compare is $25.48/yr, so picking the cheapest scores 56/100 on value.
Where is the cheapest place to renew a .studio domain?
Cloudflare has the lowest ongoing renewal at $22.71/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 6 registrars the annual renewal ranges from $22.71 to $28.26.
Is the first-year price a trap?
Sometimes. The cheapest first year ($11.84) is below its own renewal ($25.23), 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.
