FAQ

.channel pricing
How much does a .channel domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .channel domain is $10.35 at Spaceship, and the cheapest verified renewal is $10.35 per year at Spaceship. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .channel 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 .channel the steepest step-up on today's board is ×1.4 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .channel domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $52.75 via Spaceship — first year $10.35, then $10.35 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .channel domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .channel transfer right now is $10.35 at Spaceship. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
