FAQ

.fail pricing
How much does a .fail domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .fail domain is $7.49 at Sav.com, and the cheapest verified renewal is $28.75 per year at HOSTAFRICA. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .fail 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 .fail the steepest step-up on today's board is ×6.0 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .fail domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $128.50 via DomainCostClub, which needs an annual membership on top — first year $7.50, then $30.00 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .fail domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .fail transfer right now is $22.22 at Easyspace. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
