Cheapest renewal over time

$44.18 $2.50
25 Jul 2026 · $26.26 Today · $34.72

Nameslink wins on every count here — cheapest to register at $1.75, cheapest to stay with at $9.78 a year after, and cheapest to transfer in at $9.78 too. 5 years: $40.87. No other registrar beats it on any of the three.

The cheapest renewal comes from Nameslink at $9.78 — the priciest runs $67.43. Multiply that 6.9x gap by every year you keep the domain, and it's real money. That's less than half the $43.99 median for New generic extensions, which is unusual.

.ink questions

What is a .ink domain?

.ink is a generic domain extension. It is operated by Registry Services, LLC and has been part of the domain name system since 2014.

How much does a .ink domain cost?

The cheapest first year is $1.75 at Nameslink, and renewal is $9.78. Over five years that comes to $40.87, staying with that same registrar the whole time.

Why does .ink cost more to renew?

Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .ink the renewal is 5.6× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.

Which registrars sell .ink?

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