.directory pricingHow much does a .directory domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .directory domain is $3.99 at Sav.com, and the cheapest verified renewal is $18.61 per year at Vebonix. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .directory 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 .directory the steepest step-up on today's board is ×7.9 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .directory domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $81.83 via HOSTAFRICA — first year $4.11, then $19.18 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .directory domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .directory transfer right now is $9.89 at one.com. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
