Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .cloud domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Spaceship has the lowest cost for .cloud over both 3 years ($45.29) and 5 years ($87.09).
Does the cheapest start stay the cheapest?
The lowest first year is IONOS's $1.00, but the lowest 3-year total is Spaceship's $45.29. Choosing IONOS costs $29.71 more over 3 years.
What if you already own the domain?
one.com has the lowest transfer fee ($3.34), but it renews at $30.12 a year, so 3 years comes to $63.58. Hello.co is $8.61 cheaper over 3 years: $54.97.
Bottom line
Spaceship, at $45.29 for 3 years, beats IONOS, the registrar with the lowest first year, by $29.71.
.cloud is a generic domain for cloud computing, online storage, hosted software and other services delivered over the internet. It was added to the root zone on 18 June 2015 and opened to the public in early 2016.
.cloud is run by Aruba PEC S.p.A., part of the Aruba group, one of Italy's largest web hosting and cloud companies. Aruba won the right to run .cloud in ICANN's new domain programme, where several large companies applied. Tucows provides the technical registry service.
Anyone can register a .cloud name. You don't need to run cloud services or own a data centre. People and organisations can register any available name through a registrar, subject to the usual rules on reserved names, trademarks and abuse. Some short or popular names are sold at premium prices.
Cloud software companies, hosting providers, online software products, storage and backup services, developer tools and IT consultancies are the main users. A name like product.cloud makes the category clear at a glance. Companies also use .cloud for customer login pages and dashboards, kept separate from their main website.
Outside tech, the word also works for weather projects, creative studios and any brand with "cloud" in its name.
"Cloud" covers a lot, from file storage to full computing platforms, so your website should explain exactly what you offer. A .cloud name isn't a security certificate or a promise that a service will always be available.
