Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .pub domain cost over 3 or 5 years?

Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
The lowest first-year price and the lowest 3-year total are at the same registrar: Cloudflare.
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 $93.60.
Bottom line
Over 3 years, Cloudflare is the cheapest way to own .pub, at $93.60.
.pub has more than one familiar reading. It can refer to publishing, advertising, or a public house, so an address with this ending may lead to a media business, a venue, or something else entirely. The original application described the word as broad, with uses across publishing and local drinking establishments. That history is useful context, but the name and homepage should make the chosen meaning unmistakable.
Rightside's registry launched it, and in 2021 it moved to Dog Beach, part of Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It has been in the root zone since 20 February 2014. There are no eligibility restrictions.
A publisher can name its subject and editorial role; a pub can show its location, hours, menu, and booking details. If the address is for a campaign or a brand, explain the association so visitors don't mistake the site for a news outlet or venue. The related .press more clearly signals publishing or media contact work, while .pub keeps its multiple meanings. Neither label establishes that a site is an official publication or licensed premises.
