Cheapest renewal over time
The trap
Spaceship draws people in with the lowest first-year price — $51.95. Renewal steps up to $98.53, a 90% increase. Not dramatic, but real: 5 years costs $446.07, $186.32 more than the sign-up price implied.
Cheapest transfer
Netim has the cheapest transfer price at $93.93, if you already own this domain elsewhere and want to move it.
Which costs less over 5 years?
Porkbun direct is the cheaper path — $445.41 over 5 years beats the discount-then-transfer route by $69.35.
Which costs less over 3 years?
The gap is smaller at 3 years — $248.71 versus $268.84 — but the answer doesn't change.
$95.20 is the cheapest renewal here, offered by Cloudflare; the priciest option runs $450.35. That gap grows to 4.7 times the price over however long you hold onto it. That's close to the $88 median for Sponsored extensions.
💡 Bottom line — Don't let Spaceship's $51.95 decide it for you — Porkbun's real five-year price for .xxx is $445.41, and that's the number that adds up over time.

.xxx questions
What is a .xxx domain?
.xxx is a sponsored domain extension. It is operated by ICM Registry LLC and has been part of the domain name system since 2011. Sponsored top-level Internet domain intended for pornographic websites.
How much does a .xxx domain cost?
The cheapest first year is $51.95 at Spaceship, and renewal is $98.53. Over five years that comes to $446.07, staying with that same registrar the whole time.
Why does .xxx cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .xxx the renewal is 1.9× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
