Cheapest renewal over time
Atom doesn't just win on renewal — it's also the cheapest place to transfer a domain in. $1.30 register, $13.30 renew, $13.30 transfer, $54.50 over 5 years.
Even at 3 years, Atom remains the answer either way — $27.90 to own, $13.30 to transfer in.
The cheapest renewal comes from Atom at $13.30 — the priciest runs $168.49. That gap grows to 12.7 times the price over however long you hold onto it. That's less than half the $43.99 median for New generic extensions, which is unusual.
💡 Bottom line — Over five years, .boats through Atom comes to $54.50 — a different path from Nameslink's $1.24 headline price.

Why does .boats cost more to renew?
