Cheapest renewal over time

$66.88 $29.99
25 Jul 2026 · $31.41 Today · $46.99

Porkbun's pricing looks like a trap at first ($8.24 to $31.41), but the math says otherwise — it's still the lowest 5-year total on this list at $133.88.

3 years in, Porkbun is already at $71.06 — the renewal jump hasn't erased its lead yet.

At Dotology, renewal runs just $29.99 — some registrars charge $86.99 instead. That's a 2.9x gap that compounds every year you keep the domain. That undercuts the $43.99 median across New generic extensions.

.fail questions

What is a .fail domain?

.fail 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 .fail domain cost?

The cheapest first year is $8.24 at Porkbun, and renewal is $31.41. Over five years that comes to $133.88, staying with that same registrar the whole time.

Why does .fail cost more to renew?

Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .fail the renewal is 3.8× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.

Which registrars sell .fail?

34 of the registrars we track currently offer it. The table above lists all of them with current registration, renewal and transfer prices.
