Transfer paths: a .blog transfer adds a year to the registration and is allowed once the 60-day lock after registering is over (ICANN Transfer Policy), so we also price “register at one registrar, move after year one”. Over 5 years no move saves $1 or more here, so staying put wins. Cloudflare sells at cost but needs its own nameservers, so it is never our pick. Totals use today’s prices and do not predict future increases. Prices in USD from each registrar’s feed: Dynadot (checked 2026-10-21), Porkbun (checked 2026-10-21), Cloudflare (checked 2026-10-13).
What drives the price
Every registrar pays the same registry wholesale fee for .blog — Cloudflare's at-cost price of $20.20 is a good proxy for it. Everything above that is registrar margin and promo strategy: first-year discounts, bundled privacy, and renewal markups. That’s why the same domain can cost 5× more at one registrar than another — and why the renewal price matters more than the sticker price.
Renewal trap: .blog is $2.57 in year one but $21.11/yr after — 8.2× the intro price. See the Renewal-Trap Index for the worst offenders.
.blog price history
No renewal price change of 5% or more at any registrar we track since Aug 6, 2026. Small daily moves on registries that bill in euros or pounds are exchange-rate noise, not price changes.
