.ws domain — straight answers
How much does a .ws domain cost?
The lowest first-year price is $11.49 at Namecheap, then $25.73 to renew/yr. Over 3 years the cheapest total cost of ownership is $62.95. The median renewal across the 5 registrars we compare is $23.43/yr, so picking the cheapest scores 54/100 on value.
Where is the cheapest place to renew a .ws domain?
Spaceship has the lowest ongoing renewal at $22.05/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 $22.05 to $25.73.
Is the first-year price a trap?
Sometimes. The cheapest first year ($11.49) is below its own renewal ($25.73), 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.
