Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .tech domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Rayname has the lowest cost for .tech over both 3 years ($69.48) and 5 years ($136.86).
Does the cheapest start stay the cheapest?
Starting price and keeping price point to different registrars: NicNames ($2.00 first year, $100.00 over 3 years) and Rayname ($69.48 over 3 years, $30.52 less).
What if you already own the domain?
one.com has the lowest transfer fee ($8.92), but it renews at $78.12 a year, so 3 years comes to $165.16. Rayname is $44.96 cheaper over 3 years: $120.20.
Bottom line
Rayname has the lowest 3-year cost for .tech: $69.48, which is $30.52 less than NicNames, the registrar with the lowest first year.
.tech is a generic domain for technology companies, products and people. It was added to the root zone on 12 March 2015 and has become one of the most popular new extensions for start-ups, engineers, and tech events.
.tech is run by Radix, a registry company that also runs .online, .store, .site, .website and .fun. It was first held by Dot Tech LLC, a Radix company, and later moved to Radix's main registry company, Radix Technologies Inc. Tucows provides the technical registry service.
Anyone can register a .tech name. You don't need to prove you work in technology. People and organisations can register any available name through a registrar, subject to the usual rules on reserved names, trademarks and abuse. Short, common words often sell at premium prices.
Tech start-ups, hardware makers, software companies, IT support businesses, tech conferences, coding clubs, engineering blogs and personal portfolios all use .tech. A name like company.tech is a common choice when the .com is taken, and many companies use .tech for their engineering blog or careers page alongside their main website.
.tech often gets compared with .dev and .io. .dev is aimed at software development and forces HTTPS in browsers. .io is a country code that tech companies took up, with some uncertainty about its future.
.tech has no country attached and no special technical rules, so it's the broadest of the three and covers hardware and IT services as well as software.
Because "tech" covers so much, your website should say clearly what your product or service actually is.
