Method
How a price gets on this site
01
Read the price at the registrar
Every figure is read from the registrar's own public pricing page and stored with its currency, source link and the date it was read.
02
Separate promotion from price
A first year below the renewal figure is labelled a promotion. It never sits on a table without the renewal beside it.
03
Rank on three years
First year plus two renewals is the number a business actually pays. It decides the default order — commercial relationships do not.
Domain updates
From the price desk
26 Aug 2026
Renewal, not the first year, decides what a domain costsAcross the registrars we track, the cheapest first year and the cheapest three years are almost never the same company. Our price desk explains why the renewal line is the one to read.
25 Aug 2026
.ae stays the premium extension — and the price spread is the widest we trackThe UAE country extension costs several times a .com at every registrar in our table, and the difference between the cheapest and most expensive seller is larger than for any generic extension we follow.
24 Aug 2026
What a one-dollar domain actually costs over three yearsWe ran every promotional first-year price in our table out to a three-year total. The discount rarely survives the second invoice, and in the new extensions it reverses completely.
Buying guides
Before you register
- How to buy a domain name in the UAE
Registering a domain from the UAE involves two decisions that are easy to get wrong: which extension carries the business, and which registrar you are willing to be billed by for the next decade.
- .com or .ae — choosing the extension for a UAE business
The choice between .com and .ae is a positioning decision with a price tag attached. Here is how the two extensions differ in cost, signal and practical constraints.
- Transferring a domain without losing a single day
Transferring a domain is how you escape an expensive renewal. Done in the wrong order, it is also how sites go dark for a day. The sequence matters more than the registrar you choose.
