FAQ

.ac.im pricing
How much does a .ac.im domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .ac.im domain is $58.06 at Gonbei, and the cheapest verified renewal is $58.06 per year at Gonbei. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .ac.im renewal price different from the first-year price?
Registrars discount the first year to win customers, then charge the regular rate from year two. On .ac.im the steepest step-up on today's board is ×1.1 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.

The lowest verified 5-year total today is $290.30 via Gonbei — first year $58.06, then $58.06 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .ac.im domain to a cheaper registrar?
A standard transfer usually includes a 1-year extension, but no independently published .ac.im transfer price is available in the current comparison. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
