Cheapest renewal over time
The trap
Porkbun draws people in with the lowest first-year price — $8.24. Renewal steps up to $24.20, a 194% increase. Not dramatic, but real: 5 years costs $105.04, $63.84 more than the sign-up price implied.
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?
Porkbun, then a transfer to Dotology, beats Nameslink's direct $96.43 — landing at $88.20 over 5 years. One of the cases where switching pays.
Which costs less over 3 years?
At 3 years the numbers are closer — $48.22 to $53.47 — though transferring to Dotology still beats staying with Nameslink.
The cheapest renewal comes from Dotology at $19.99 — the priciest runs $101.63. That's a 5.1x gap that compounds every year you keep the domain. That's under half the $43.99 median across New generic extensions — rare for this category.
💡 Bottom line — This kind of gap between sign-up and renewal isn't unique to Porkbun — it's common across the industry, which is why the five-year number matters more than the first one.

.photos questions
What is a .photos domain?
.photos 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 .photos domain cost?
The cheapest first year is $8.24 at Porkbun, and renewal is $24.20. Over five years that comes to $105.04, staying with that same registrar the whole time.
Why does .photos cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .photos the renewal is 2.9× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
