Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .work domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Over 3 years the lowest total is $14.46 at Rayname ($2.34 | $6.06 | $6.06). Over 5 years it is $26.58, also at Rayname ($2.34 | $6.06 | $6.06 | $6.06 | $6.06).
Does the cheapest start stay the cheapest?
Starting price and keeping price point to different registrars: Spaceship ($1.75 first year, $22.91 over 3 years) and Rayname ($14.46 over 3 years, $8.45 less).
What if you already own the domain?
Nameslink wins both: the lowest transfer fee ($5.52) and the lowest 3-year total ($16.56).
Bottom line
Rayname, at $14.46 for 3 years, beats Spaceship, the registrar with the lowest first year, by $8.45.
.work is a generic domain about jobs, careers, projects and professional work. It was added to the root zone on 18 August 2014. It's short, it's a common English word, and it works for anything from a job board to a freelancer's portfolio.
.work was launched by Top Level Domain Holdings, the company later known as Minds + Machines. In September 2021, it moved to GoDaddy Registry, after GoDaddy bought the company's domain business. GoDaddy runs it today.
Anyone can register a .work name. You don't need to be a recruiter or an employer. People and organisations can register any available name through a registrar, subject to the usual rules on reserved names, trademarks and abuse.
Job boards and recruitment websites, company careers pages, freelancer and creative portfolios, workplace tools, coworking spaces and project pages all use .work. A name like yourname.work is a simple way to show your projects to clients, and brand.work can be a clean home for a company's job openings, separate from its main website.
.work is short and flexible, which helps if your career or business changes over time. The catch is that "work" can mean a job, a project or a piece of creative work, so the name in front needs to make your meaning clear.
For a website that's only about hiring, .careers is more specific.
If your website collects job applications, say which company receives them and how you'll use people's personal details. A .work domain doesn't prove that a job is real or that a portfolio belongs to the person named.
