Prices are indicative (USD) from typical budget registrars and are reviewed periodically. First-year promos are excluded where possible because renewal is the cost that compounds. Always confirm live pricing at the registrar.

Watch the renewal trap

.tech is often sold with a cheap first year ($4.99) and renews much higher ($49.99/year). If you plan to keep it, the renewal price is the real cost. Multiply by the number of years you expect to hold it.
