About .media
one honest minuteIdentity Digital runs .media as a broad catch-all for publishers, agencies and content shops. Discount registrars routinely dangle a few-dollar first year, but the renewal settles around the mid-thirties, so budget for the second invoice, not the first. Cloudflare carries it at cost if you would rather skip the promo game entirely.
Typical use: publications, agencies, content studios. Right now the cheapest way in is $3.99 at Sav.com (promo — it renews at $36.60/yr), the cheapest renewal on the market is $28.75/yr at HOSTAFRICA, and the best five-year total is $122.15 via HOSTAFRICA. If you're moving an existing name, transfers start at $15.49 and normally include a one-year extension.

.media pricingHow much does a .media domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .media domain is $3.99 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 .media 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 .media the steepest step-up on today's board is ×13.3 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .media domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $122.15 via HOSTAFRICA — first year $6.15, then $28.75 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .media domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .media transfer right now is $15.49 at one.com. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
