Domain Renewal Pricing: What Really Matters

A fair way to compare registrars is to look beyond the first-year offer and check the normal renewal price.

Look at year two

A very low first-year price can be genuine, but it may not represent what the domain will cost over time. Before registering, check the standard renewal price and any conditions attached to the promotion.

Compare like with like

When comparing registrars, use the same extension and the same registration period. Also check whether privacy, DNS management or transfer services are included or charged separately.

BladeHOST approach

BladeHOST does not deliberately make year one artificially cheap and then add an inflated loyalty penalty at renewal. Registry and supplier costs can still change, so prices are not frozen forever.
