Cheapest renewal over time

$46.99 $19.99
25 Jul 2026 · $29.35 Today · $46.99

The trap

Nameslink's $5.36 first year looks like the deal — until renewal jumps to $29.99, more than 5.6x the sign-up price. 5 years: $125.32. That gap alone is worth checking before you commit.

Cheapest transfer

Dotology has the cheapest transfer price at $19.99, if you already own this domain elsewhere and want to move it.

Which costs less over 5 years?

Dotology brings your 5-year cost to $85.32 after transferring from Nameslink — below Blacknight's $97.52 direct. Don't skip the transfer step here.

Which costs less over 3 years?

The gap is smaller at 3 years — $45.34 versus $55.56 — but the transfer route still wins.

Dotology offers the cheapest renewal at $19.99, against $71.11 at the priciest. Multiply that 3.6x 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.

💡 Bottom line — A low sign-up price rarely tells the whole story. For .photography, Blacknight's real five-year cost is $97.52, well past Nameslink's $5.36 headline.

.photography questions

What is a .photography domain?

.photography is a generic domain extension. It is operated by Binky Moon, LLC and has been part of the domain name system since 2013.

How much does a .photography domain cost?

The cheapest first year is $5.36 at Nameslink, and renewal is $29.99. Over five years that comes to $125.32, staying with that same registrar the whole time.

Why does .photography cost more to renew?

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