Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?

Bottom line
NicNames is the one to beat for .zone: $73.50 over 3 years.
The .zone domain was part of the initial wave of Donuts extensions. Donuts submitted the application via Outer Falls, LLC, signed the ICANN registry agreement, and added it to the root zone in January 2014 (ICANNWiki).
On its way, it came up against one significant obstacle. The US car parts retailer AutoZone submitted a formal Legal Rights Objection concerning the Donuts application, since ICANN provides a mechanism through which trademark holders can raise an objection if they believe a new top-level domain would infringe upon their rights. However, the extension was not prevented and instead proceeded as an open name with no restrictions as to who could register it.
.zone, like most of the previous Donuts extensions, is now managed by Binky Moon, LLC, a company that is part of Identity Digital; it has also been mentioned in abuse research, since Interisle Consulting's 2025 phishing report included .zone and .digital as examples of the Binky Moon extensions that had ranked among the worst in terms of phishing rates over a five-year period of data (Interisle Phishing Landscape 2025).
