.io pricingHow much does a .io domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .io domain is $22.45 at muumuu-domain, and the cheapest verified renewal is $48.86 per year at Cosmotown. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .io 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 .io the steepest step-up on today's board is ×3.7 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .io domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $227.00 via DomainCostClub, which needs an annual membership on top — first year $27.00, then $50.00 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .io domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .io transfer right now is $22.99 at one.com. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
