Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .com domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Of the 50 registrars compared, Spaceship is cheapest for both 3 years ($29.44) and 5 years ($49.80).
Does the cheapest start stay the cheapest?
Moniker starts cheapest at $6.99. Over 3 years, though, Spaceship is cheaper: $29.44 against $35.49, a difference of $6.05.
What if you already own the domain?
Blacknight is cheapest to move in ($8.92), then $22.31 a year, which makes $70.94 over 3 years. Sav ($30.45) and Spaceship ($30.54) are the cheapest to keep, 9 cents apart.
Is there a coupon code for .com?
Yes. Spaceship offers the code COM67 for the first year. With it, a .com domain registers for $3.60, and the 3-year cost comes to $23.96 instead of $29.44. The code is valid until 3 Nov.
Bottom line
Spaceship has the lowest 3-year cost for .com: $29.44, which is $6.05 less than Moniker, the registrar with the lowest first year.
.com is a generic top-level domain originally meant for commercial organizations; that initial purpose is no longer required for eligibility, since there are no general restrictions on who can register a .com name.
VeriSign Global Registry Services operates the .com registry, maintaining the official database of .com registrations and the DNS data for the extension. At the same time, ICANN-accredited registrars handle retail registration, renewals, transfers, and customer accounts. Network Solutions managed the .com domain in the 1990s under a contract with the National Science Foundation. VeriSign bought Network Solutions in June 2000 and then took over the registry operations.
Two distinct agreements determine VeriSign's role. The agreement between VeriSign and ICANN makes VeriSign the operator of the .com domain registry; this agreement is currently in effect until 30 November 2030. A separate Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce, which NTIA administers, deals with certain aspects of .com market practices, such as wholesale pricing.
The second agreement is uncommon when compared with other major domain extensions. In 2018, the NTIA abolished the previous fixed cap on wholesale prices and allowed VeriSign to increase the maximum registry fee by up to 7% each year in four out of every six contract years. It renewed automatically in November 2024; at that time, the NTIA said it "recognised concerns about the current pricing" and thought lower .com prices would be in the public interest, but added that it could not alter the terms without reaching an agreement with VeriSign.
The term ".com" is derived from "commercial", since this was one of the original types of function assigned to the Domain Name System. However, the difference between .com, .net, and .org is no longer enforced; .com is still the most widely registered of the original generic domains.
VeriSign stated that there were 163.6 million registrations of .com domain names as of March 31, 2026; across all top-level domains combined, the total number of registrations was 392.5 million, meaning .com accounted for around 42% of the global total.
Names like example.uk.com are sold under .com by private companies, not by the .com registry. Here, uk.com is a normal .com domain the operator owns, and example is the name you register beneath it.

.com questions
What is a .com domain?
.com is a generic domain extension. It is operated by VeriSign Global Registry Services and has been part of the domain name system since 1985.
Which registrars are cheapest for .com?
Three years of .com costs least at Spaceship ($29.44), then NicNames ($30.57) and Sav ($31.17).
Which registrars accept Bitcoin or crypto for .com?
Crypto is accepted for .com at Spaceship ($29.44 for 3 years), NicNames ($30.57) and Sav ($31.17). Others also accept crypto; see the table.
Is a year added when you transfer .com?
Yes. Transferring a .com domain extends its registration by one year, and that year is part of what the transfer fee buys.
Does .com support DNSSEC?
Yes. DNSSEC is available for .com domains at the registry level, so a signed zone can be validated by resolvers.
