Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .guide domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Over 3 years the lowest total is $71.50 at NicNames ($5.50 | $33.00 | $33.00). Over 5 years it is $137.50, also at NicNames ($5.50 | $33.00 | $33.00 | $33.00 | $33.00).
Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
Choosing the cheapest first year doesn't cost extra here: NicNames's $5.50 start also gives the lowest 3-year total, $71.50.
Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?
The lowest transfer fee is Easyspace's ($29.72), but at $61.34 a year it totals $152.40 over 3 years. To keep it for 3 years, Cloudflare is cheapest at $96.60.
Bottom line
Over 3 years, NicNames is the cheapest way to own .guide, at $71.50.
.guide names instructions, reference material or help with a subject. It can suit a travel site, a product manual, a how-to publisher, a directory or a course that walks people through a process. The word doesn't say whether the material is official, expert-written or up to date, so the page should.
There are no eligibility restrictions. Identity Digital (formerly Donuts) runs it.
A site using .guide should make its scope concrete. A city guide can say which neighbourhoods it covers; a software guide can state the version it applies to; a professional guide should explain how listed providers are selected. The address itself doesn't mean a manufacturer, government, or professional body endorses a process. If the information is safety-critical or regulated, explain the source and limits of the instructions. The extension can help label a resource, but accuracy depends on careful authorship and updates.
