Method
How a price gets on this site
01
Read the price at the registrar
Every figure is read from the registrar's own public pricing page and stored with its currency, source link and the date it was read.
02
Separate promotion from price
A first year below the renewal figure is labelled a promotion. It never sits on a table without the renewal beside it.
03
Rank on three years
First year plus two renewals is the number a business actually pays. It decides the default order — commercial relationships do not.

Buying guides
Before you register
- How to buy a domain name in the UAE
Registering a domain from the UAE involves two decisions that are easy to get wrong: which extension carries the business, and which registrar you are willing to be billed by for the next decade.
- .com or .ae — choosing the extension for a UAE business
The choice between .com and .ae is a positioning decision with a price tag attached. Here is how the two extensions differ in cost, signal and practical constraints.
- Transferring a domain without losing a single day
Transferring a domain is how you escape an expensive renewal. Done in the wrong order, it is also how sites go dark for a day. The sequence matters more than the registrar you choose.
