About .software

Typical use: download pages, release channels, saas. Right now the cheapest way in is $10.35 at Spaceship (promo — it renews at $33.12/yr), the cheapest renewal on the market is $25.03/yr at Vebonix, and the best five-year total is $126.15 via Vebonix. If you're moving an existing name, transfers start at $22.22 and normally include a one-year extension.

FAQ

.software pricing
How much does a .software domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .software domain is $10.35 at Spaceship, and the cheapest verified renewal is $25.03 per year at Vebonix. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .software 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 .software the steepest step-up on today's board is ×3.3 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .software domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $126.15 via Vebonix — first year $25.03, then $25.03 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .software domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .software 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.
