Tips for cheap domains

1. Watch the renewal price

Many registrars lure with low first-year prices but charge heavily on renewal. Always calculate total costs over 3-5 years.

2. Register for multiple years

Many registrars give discounts when you register for multiple years. This also protects you against price increases.

3. Bundle with hosting

Some hosting providers give free or cheap domains with a hosting package. Check the total price.

4. Compare regularly

Domain prices change regularly. Bookmark this page and check before renewing if there's a cheaper option.

5. Consider alternative TLDs

New extensions like .shop, .online or .tech are sometimes cheaper than .com and still available with short names.

Hidden costs to watch for

When comparing domain prices, extra costs may be hidden:

Extra service Typical costs
WHOIS privacy €0-15 per year
DNS management Usually free
Domain transfer Usually free
Email forwarding €0-5 per year

Most major registrars now offer WHOIS privacy for free.
