Cheapest renewal over time
INWX covers two of the three angles that matter: cheapest to own long-term, and cheapest if you're transferring in from elsewhere. $9.98 register, $18.10 renew, $18.10 transfer. 5 years: $82.38.
Even at 3 years, INWX remains the answer either way — $46.18 to own, $18.10 to transfer in.
INWX offers the cheapest renewal at $18.10, against $91.99 at the priciest. Multiply that 5.1x gap by every year you keep the domain, and it's real money. That's less than half the $88 median for Sponsored extensions, which is unusual.
💡 Bottom line — Don't let Marcaria's $5.00 decide it for you — INWX's real five-year price for .cat is $82.38, and that's the number that adds up over time.

.cat questions
What is a .cat domain?
.cat is a sponsored domain extension. It is operated by Fundacio puntCAT and has been part of the domain name system since 2005. It is associated with Spain. Top-level Internet domain for the Catalan-speaking community.
How much does a .cat domain cost?
The cheapest first year is $5.00 at Marcaria, and renewal is $30.00. Over five years that comes to $125.00, staying with that same registrar the whole time.
Why does .cat cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .cat the renewal is 6.0× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
