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

Where is the cheapest place to renew a .vip domain?
Cloudflare has the lowest ongoing renewal at $4.64/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 $4.64 to $5.77.
Is the first-year price a trap?
For .vip the cheapest first year ($4.64) is in line with its renewal ($4.64/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.
