Cheapest renewal over time
The trap
Netcetera's $1.67 first year isn't really a price — it's a hook. Renewal jumps to $75.78, over 45.4x what you paid to sign up. 5 years: $304.79. The opening number tells you almost nothing about what you'll actually pay.
Cheapest transfer
Netim has the cheapest transfer price at $55.22, if you already own this domain elsewhere and want to move it.
Which costs less over 5 years?
Dynadot direct works out to $238.70 over 5 years — skip the discount chase, it's cheaper than registering with Netcetera and transferring later at $289.15.
Which costs less over 3 years?
Even over the shorter 3-year window, Dynadot still comes out ahead: $121.00 against $134.31.
Renewal prices span $58.85 at Dynadot up to $137.50 elsewhere. Multiply that 2.3x gap by every year you keep the domain, and it's real money. That's close to the $49.90 median for Countries extensions.
💡 Bottom line — $238.70 is the honest cost of .vu at Dynadot across five years. Netcetera's $1.67 is just what gets some buyers started, elsewhere.
