Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .science domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
NicNames has the lowest cost for .science over both 3 years ($29.94) and 5 years ($49.90).
Does the cheapest start stay the cheapest?
One registrar wins both: NicNames, at $9.98 for year one and $29.94 over 3 years.
What if you already own the domain?
Instra has the lowest transfer fee ($5.00), but it renews at $17.49 a year, so 3 years comes to $39.98. NicNames is $10.04 cheaper over 3 years: $29.94.
Bottom line
NicNames, at $29.94 for 3 years, is the lowest.
.science is a direct subject label for research, science education, laboratory work, data, or public communication about scientific topics. It can suit a research project, school resource, journal, or publisher. The word suggests a field, but it doesn't show whether material has been peer reviewed or whether a site represents a research institution. Identify authors, methods, and affiliations where they are relevant.
It's one of the sixteen extensions Famous Four Media launched and GRS Domains now manages. IANA lists the registry company as dot Science Limited. It has been in the root zone since 23 October 2014. The registry does not publish any eligibility restrictions.
A research site can give publication dates and keep results separate from hypotheses. An educational resource can name its intended level and source material. A commercial product using scientific language should support claims with suitable evidence rather than relying on the domain to imply validation. The extension describes the subject; it doesn't certify a researcher, publication, laboratory, or scientific conclusion.
