question, i bought domains a few times, and the first year is super cheap, then the second year they jack up the prices. no, I'm not paying 140$ for a domain I only use for my kids Minecraft server.

that's why you always look at renewal prices and never first year prices. tld-list.com has a good comparison.

A lot of the big ones like to jack the prices up every year. Just dropped Namecheap because my domain tripled in price over 3 years

They start at 50€/Month but get cheaper over time!

Make sure you're buying .com or another common standard TLD and not some weird TLD with super high prices.

And check the renewal price, if your registrar doesn't make it very clear then go somewhere else.

I have a .us domain, I don't even remember what I pay, I only do it every 6 years, it's so cheap...

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

you must have a high traffic TLD like a .ai or .sucks or something.

one was .eu, another .uk

don't remember the rest
