Cheapest renewal over time

$50.99 $26.08
25 Jul 2026 · $31.41 Today · $50.99

Blacknight doesn't just win on renewal — it's also the cheapest place to transfer a domain in. $26.08 register, $26.08 renew, $26.08 transfer, $130.40 over 5 years.

The 3-year numbers hold the same shape: $78.24 direct, $26.08 via transfer, both through Blacknight.

Blacknight has the lowest renewal on this list at $26.08, well under the $100.44 top end. A 3.9x difference like that adds up fast across renewals. That undercuts the $43.99 median across New generic extensions.

💡 Bottom line — Between Nameslink's $5.36 sign-up price and Blacknight's $130.40 five-year total, .family pricing here is a good example of why it pays to look past the first number.

.family questions

What is a .family domain?

.family is a generic domain extension. It is operated by Dog Beach, LLC and has been part of the domain name system since 2015.

How much does a .family domain cost?

The cheapest first year is $5.36 at Nameslink, and renewal is $32.12. Over five years that comes to $133.84, staying with that same registrar the whole time.

Why does .family cost more to renew?

Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .family the renewal is 6.0× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.

Which registrars sell .family?

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