Cheapest renewal over time
Porkbun's pricing looks like a trap at first ($10.81 to $33.47), but the math says otherwise — it's still the lowest 5-year total on this list at $144.69.
3 years in, Porkbun is already at $77.75 — the renewal jump hasn't erased its lead yet.
At Dotology, renewal runs just $29.99 — some registrars charge $103.24 instead. That gap grows to 3.4 times the price over however long you hold onto it. That's below the $43.99 median for New generic extensions.

.direct questions
What is a .direct domain?
.direct is a generic domain extension. It is operated by Binky Moon, LLC and has been part of the domain name system since 2014.
How much does a .direct domain cost?
The cheapest first year is $10.81 at Porkbun, and renewal is $33.47. Over five years that comes to $144.69, staying with that same registrar the whole time.
Why does .direct cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .direct the renewal is 3.1× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
Which registrars sell .direct?
35 of the registrars we track currently offer it. The table above lists all of them with current registration, renewal and transfer prices.
