I’m looking to register a new domain but hate how pricing is $0.01 first year, $1M renewal. It doesn’t seem like a deal if it’s going to cost so much to renew.

Are there any transparent registrars or any tools that will give you a cost over 3 years or something?

I’ll be honest, I did Google it but you’ll never guess what the top hit was. I didn’t click. I’m putting this here in a small attempt to transfer some knowledge to the fediverse.

    I did see that cloudflare tends to have a similar first and subsequent year price which is much more straight forward. I do actually have a domain with them. I was looking for another cheap domain to tinker with so I went for an 8 figure .xyz but from namecheap rather than porkbun as it was 85c for the year instead of $1.66 . Renewal price says it will be the same as the first year.
