Cheapest renewal over time

$46.99 $25.20
25 Jul 2026 · $26.26 Today · $34.72

The trap

Nameslink's $1.24 first year isn't really a price — it's a hook. Renewal jumps to $26.80, over 21.6x what you paid to sign up. 5 years: $108.44. The opening number tells you almost nothing about what you'll actually pay.

Cheapest transfer

Cloudflare has the cheapest transfer price at $25.20, if you already own this domain elsewhere and want to move it.

Which costs less over 5 years?

Nameslink, then a transfer to Cloudflare, beats Porkbun's direct $106.58 — landing at $102.04 over 5 years. One of the cases where switching pays.

Which costs less over 3 years?

The gap is smaller at 3 years — $51.64 versus $54.06 — but the transfer route still wins.

Shop around and Cloudflare's $25.20 renewal beats the $78.77 charged at the top end. Multiply that 3.1x gap by every year you keep the domain, and it's real money. That's below the $43.99 median for New generic extensions.

💡 Bottom line — Don't let Nameslink's $1.24 decide it for you — Porkbun's real five-year price for .surf is $106.58, and that's the number that adds up over time.

.surf questions

What is a .surf domain?

.surf 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 .surf domain cost?

The cheapest first year is $1.24 at Nameslink, and renewal is $26.80. Over five years that comes to $108.44, staying with that same registrar the whole time.

Why does .surf cost more to renew?

Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .surf the renewal is 21.6× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.

Which registrars sell .surf?

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