Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .codes domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Over 3 years the lowest total is $126.00 at NicNames ($4.00 | $61.00 | $61.00). Over 5 years it is $240.75 at Upflare ($16.79 | $55.99 | $55.99 | $55.99 | $55.99).
Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
Choosing the cheapest first year doesn't cost extra here: NicNames's $4.00 start also gives the lowest 3-year total, $126.00. Over 5 years, NicNames's total is $7.25 more than Upflare's ($240.75), 3% more.
Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?
The lowest transfer fee is one.com's ($19.59), but at $94.64 a year it totals $208.87 over 3 years. To keep it for 3 years, Dotology is cheapest at $164.97.
Bottom line
NicNames is cheapest for 3 years ($126.00); over 5 years Upflare is ($240.75).
.codes is a word programmers use, so it suits coding schools, developer portfolios and software tools. Coupon sites use it too, because of "discount codes."
There are no eligibility restrictions. Identity Digital (formerly Donuts) runs it.
These two groups are very different. Make it clear on your homepage which kind of "codes" you mean.
