Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .chat domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
NicNames has the lowest 3-year cost for .chat at $83.00; over 5 years Upflare is lowest at $156.75.
Does the cheapest start stay the cheapest?
NicNames is both the cheapest way to start ($5.00) and the cheapest way to keep it for 3 years ($83.00). Over 5 years, NicNames's total is $4.25 more than Upflare's ($156.75), 2.7% more.
What if you already own the domain?
one.com has the lowest transfer fee ($17.91), but it renews at $53.75 a year, so 3 years comes to $125.41. Upflare is $24.64 cheaper over 3 years: $100.77.
Bottom line
NicNames is cheapest for 3 years ($83.00); over 5 years Upflare is ($156.75).
Messaging apps fit .chat, and so do podcasts that are basically one long conversation. There are no eligibility restrictions. Identity Digital (formerly Donuts) runs it.
It's four letters and hard to misspell. A company might put its help desk on support.chat. A creator might use theirname.chat for a community space.
