    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.

      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.

      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

      Thats why I bought a dirt cheap domain that is entirely numbers, and it renews for 10 dollars every 10 years.

      I just need to remember the digits.

      <string of digits>.xyz

        Those are class 1.111B domains. I actually buy them a little cheaper, but have to do it one year at a time. It’s only 6-9 digits though, not any string of digits

        Can you recommend a good site to find/check these prices? No problem if not, I’m utterly clueless and entirely curious lol.

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