Cheapest renewal over time
Stays flat
Dynadot's price doesn't move at renewal — $5.37 both years one and beyond. 5 years: $26.85. There's no first-year discount hiding a jump here, so pick this one on registrar quality rather than price alone.
Dynadot offers the cheapest renewal at $5.37, against $56.71 at the priciest. Multiply that 10.6x gap by every year you keep the domain, and it's real money. That's less than half the $49.90 median for Countries extensions, which is unusual.
