.xyz domain — straight answers
How much does a .xyz domain cost?
The lowest first-year price is $1.00 at Porkbun, then $12.98 to renew/yr. Over 3 years the cheapest total cost of ownership is $26.96. The median renewal across the 7 registrars we compare is $12.99/yr, so picking the cheapest scores 58/100 on value.
Where is the cheapest place to renew a .xyz domain?
Cloudflare has the lowest ongoing renewal at $10.18/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 7 registrars the annual renewal ranges from $10.18 to $18.00.
Is the first-year price a trap?
Sometimes. The cheapest first year ($1.00) is below its own renewal ($12.98), 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.
