FAQ

.xin pricing
How much does a .xin domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .xin domain is $2.25 at Alibaba Cloud, and the cheapest verified renewal is $12.00 per year at Alibaba Cloud. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .xin 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 .xin the steepest step-up on today's board is ×5.7 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .xin domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $51.25 via Alibaba Cloud — first year $2.25, then $12.00 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .xin domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .xin transfer right now is $12.00 at Alibaba Cloud. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
