FAQ

.rio pricing
How much does a .rio domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .rio domain is $12.99 at Regery, and the cheapest verified renewal is $13.28 per year at Cloudean. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .rio 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 .rio the steepest step-up on today's board is ×1.2 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .rio domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $67.40 via Cloudean — first year $13.28, then $13.28 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .rio domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .rio transfer right now is $12.99 at Regery. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
