Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .audio domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
NicNames has the lowest cost for .audio over both 3 years ($300.00) and 5 years ($500.00).
Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
Choosing the cheapest first year doesn't cost extra here: NicNames's $100.00 start also gives the lowest 3-year total, $300.00.
Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?
BookMyName has the lowest transfer fee ($17.74), but it renews at $145.90 a year, so 3 years comes to $309.54. NicNames is $9.54 cheaper over 3 years: $300.00.
Bottom line
Over 3 years, NicNames is the cheapest way to own .audio, at $300.00.
.audio started out at Uniregistry, the registry set up by domain investor Frank Schilling. In 2022 it moved to XYZ, the company behind .xyz.
There are no eligibility restrictions.
It suits podcasts, recording studios and audio gear brands, basically anything where sound is the product. A short podcast name looks neat here: showname.audio. If you might move into video later, a broader extension could age better.
