Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
The lowest first year is IONOS's $0.50, but the lowest 3-year total is Rayname's $33.05. Choosing IONOS costs $47.45 more over 3 years.

Bottom line
Keeping .website for 3 years is cheapest at Rayname ($33.05).
.website is a generic domain for websites of every kind. It was added to the root zone on 22 May 2014. The name is simple: it says "this is a website" and leaves the rest to the name in front of the dot.
Radix, the registry company behind .online, .store, .tech, .site and .fun, runs .website. It was first held by a Radix company called DotWebsite Inc. and later moved to Radix's main registry companies. Tucows provides the technical registry service.
Anyone can register a .website name. People and organisations can register any available name through a registrar, with no rules about what kind of site you run or whether you're a business. The usual rules on reserved names, trademarks and abuse apply.
Personal sites, small businesses, portfolios, community groups, campaigns and project pages are common uses. Some people choose .website when the name they want isn't available elsewhere, and some website builders and hosting companies offer it as a low-cost first domain for new customers.
The broad meaning is both the good and the bad side of .website. It works for almost anything, but it doesn't tell visitors what your site is about. Endings like .shop, .blog or .agency say more.
With .website, the name before the dot has to do all the work, so pick one that's clear on its own. At seven letters, it's also on the long side, which can make it awkward to say out loud or fit on a business card.
If you want a shorter general-purpose option, .site is also run by Radix.
