Cheapest renewal over time
Stays flat
Porkbun's price doesn't move at renewal — $14.98 both years one and beyond. 5 years: $74.94. There's no first-year discount hiding a jump here, so pick this one on registrar quality rather than price alone.
Shop around and Porkbun's $14.99 renewal beats the $82.80 charged at the top end. Multiply that 5.5x 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.
Despite the country code, you do not need to live in New Zealand to hold a .co.nz name. The Domain Name Commission says that under .nz policy there is no requirement that registrants of .nz domain names reside in New Zealand. What it does require is that the information you give is correct and that you can be contacted at it.
In its August 2022 breakdown of registrant locations the Commission reported 82% in New Zealand, 9.4% in Australia and 3.3% in the United States, with some fifty countries having just one registrant. It also audits registrations for accuracy, so use real contact details.
The Commission adds that individual registrants may be able to apply for the Individual Registrant Privacy Option, which withholds the contact address, telephone number and email from the public WHOIS record.
A .nz name is registered through an authorised registrar, and the table above compares them. Weigh the renewal price as well as the first year, since renewals are what the name costs to keep.
