The five-year column is the one worth reading. A registrar that is £5 a year dearer costs you £25.00 over the life of a domain you probably keep for longer than that — and most people hold a domain far longer than five years.
On this TLD alone, the gap between Namecheap and GoDaddy is £10.00/year. Hold ten .capital domains at the dearest registrar and you are spending £100.00 a year more than you need to, for an identical product.
questions people actually ask.
What is the cheapest registrar for a .capital domain?
Of the 3 registrars we track for .capital, Namecheap has the lowest renewal price at £45.00 per year. The dearest is GoDaddy at £55.00. That is the same domain at the same registry — the difference is purely the registrar's markup.
How much does a .capital domain cost per year?
Across the registrars we track, .capital renewals range from £45.00 to £55.00 per year, with a median of £45.16. Registration offers are often lower than all of these for the first year only, which is why we compare renewal prices rather than introductory pricing.
Why is my .capital renewal more expensive than what I first paid?
Most registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then renew at their standard rate. The registry fee they pay is identical whatever they charged you, so the gap between registrars is markup rather than cost. Renewal price is the number that matters over the life of a domain.
Is it worth transferring a .capital domain to a cheaper registrar?
Moving from the dearest tracked registrar to the cheapest saves £10.00 per year on a single .capital domain, or £50.00 over five years. A transfer also adds a year to the expiry, so the switching cost is usually a year you were going to buy anyway. For one domain with a small gap it rarely justifies the effort; across a portfolio it adds up quickly.
