.ac.ke pricing
How much does a .ac.ke domain cost?

Why is the .ac.ke 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.ke the steepest step-up on today's board is ×1.3 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.

The lowest verified 5-year total today is $50.00 via Truehost Global — first year $10.00, then $10.00 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.ke domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .ac.ke transfer right now is $1.99 at Regery. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
