What to watch for
- Renewal trap: the $10.81 intro price becomes $46.86/yr from year two — 4.3× the promo. Decide if you’d keep it at full price before buying.
- WHOIS privacy: Porkbun, Cloudflare, and Namecheap all include it free — never pay extra for privacy in 2026.
- Transfers beat renewals sometimes: registrars discount transfers to win customers; if your renewal looks expensive, price a transfer first.
- Before you commit: Steep renewals. Full .design review covers whether it’s the right pick at all.
