Cheapest renewal over time
If you're deciding where to register a .top domain, Spaceship settles both questions at once — it's the cheapest to stick with long-term at $17.80 over 5 years, and also the cheapest option if you're transferring an existing domain in, at $4.05. No need to weigh separate registrars for each scenario.
The 3-year numbers hold the same shape: $9.70 direct, $4.05 via transfer, both through Spaceship.
The cheapest renewal comes from Spaceship at $4.05 — the priciest runs $59.95. That gap grows to 14.8 times the price over however long you hold onto it. That's less than half the $43.99 median for New generic extensions, which is unusual.
💡 Bottom line — Truehost.com's $1.49 price won't last past year one — by year five, Spaceship is where .top really costs $17.80. A reminder before renewal is the simplest way to plan for it.

.top questions
What is a .top domain?
.top is a generic domain extension. It is operated by Hong Kong Zhongze International Limited and has been part of the domain name system since 2014. Top-level Internet domain.
How much does a .top domain cost?
The cheapest first year is $1.49 at Truehost.com, and renewal is $5.14. Over five years that comes to $27.00, staying with that same registrar the whole time.
Why does .top cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .top the renewal is 3.5× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
