Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .church domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Over 3 years the lowest total is $87.33 at Upflare ($20.15 | $33.59 | $33.59). Over 5 years it is $154.51, also at Upflare ($20.15 | $33.59 | $33.59 | $33.59 | $33.59).
Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
No. NicNames has the lowest first year ($6.00), but over 3 years it totals $106.00, $18.67 more than Upflare's $87.33.
Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?
The lowest transfer fee is one.com's ($17.91), but at $60.47 a year it totals $138.85 over 3 years. To keep it for 3 years, Upflare is cheapest at $100.77.
Bottom line
Over 3 years, Upflare is the cheapest to keep, at $87.33.
.church is one of the clearest extensions for its audience. A congregation's name plus .church tells people exactly what they've found, and it can be free when the matching .org is long gone.
There are no eligibility restrictions, so you don't need to be a registered religious organisation. Identity Digital (formerly Donuts) runs it.
For a church that wants a short, obvious address for its notice board and service times, it's a strong pick.
