Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .best domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Of the 37 registrars compared, Dynadot is cheapest for both 3 years ($37.98) and 5 years ($74.36).
Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
One registrar wins both: Dynadot, at $1.60 for year one and $37.98 over 3 years.
Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?
NicNames is cheapest to move in ($15.00) and cheapest to keep: $45.00 for 3 years.
Bottom line
Dynadot is the one to beat for .best: $37.98 over 3 years.
.best is run by BestTLD, a small independent Australian registry, not one of the big portfolio players.
The registry's policy says there are no eligibility restrictions. Some names carry premium prices, so a short or obvious word may cost a lot more than the standard rate.
The name is a claim. "Best" invites the question "says who?", and visitors will ask it. For a review or comparison site that shows its working, it can do well. As a brand name it can sound like marketing, because it is.

.best questions
What is a .best domain?
A .best domain is a generic domain extension. BestTLD Pty Ltd runs the registry, and the extension was delegated in 2014.
Which registrars are cheapest for .best?
If you plan to keep .best for 3 years, the three cheapest options are Dynadot ($37.98), Porkbun ($39.11) and Rayname ($41.80).
Which registrars accept Bitcoin or crypto for .best?

Is a year added when you transfer .best?
Yes. ICANN's rules for generic extensions give a transferred .best domain one extra year of registration, included in the transfer price.
Does .best support DNSSEC?
Yes. DNSSEC is available for .best domains at the registry level, so a signed zone can be validated by resolvers.
