Cheapest renewal over time
The trap
Hostinger's $1.99 first year isn't really a price — it's a hook. Renewal jumps to $47.99, over 24.1x what you paid to sign up. 5 years: $193.95. The opening number tells you almost nothing about what you'll actually pay.
Cheapest transfer
Cloudflare has the cheapest transfer price at $30.20, if you already own this domain elsewhere and want to move it.
Which costs less over 5 years?
Porkbun direct costs $130.27 over 5 years — the discount-then-transfer route through Hostinger and Cloudflare undercuts it at $122.79. Worth the extra step this time.
Which costs less over 3 years?
The gap is smaller at 3 years — $62.39 versus $67.45 — but the transfer route still wins.
Renewal prices span $30.20 at Cloudflare up to $68.99 elsewhere. A 2.3x difference like that adds up fast across renewals. That undercuts the $43.99 median across New generic extensions.
💡 Bottom line — If you're keeping .food for a while, know that Porkbun's real five-year cost is $130.27, not Hostinger's $1.99 headline. Some registrars let you lock in years upfront before the price changes.

Why does .food cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .food the renewal is 24.1× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
