If a .uk domain expires
Most registrars let you renew for a while after a domain expires (the grace period). After that, getting it back costs a restore (redemption) fee: $120.00 at Name.com.
The other registrars’ price lists don’t include it. Fees are as each registrar lists them; some add a year’s renewal on top. Renewal watch emails you before it comes to that.

How these numbers are made
- Source
- Each registrar’s own price list, read through its API: Porkbun, Namecheap, Dynadot, Cloudflare, Vercel, NameSilo, Name.com and Hostinger. Standard prices in US dollars. Premium names cost more: search a name for its live price.
- Captured
- Once a day, last 5 h ago. Every day’s prices are kept, so each change has a date.
- Two-year cost
- The first year plus one renewal. Where an extension has a longer minimum term (.ai is two years), the minimum term is what you pay.
- True cost
- Over 1, 2 or 5 years: the first term plus yearly renewals at today’s standard prices, at one registrar. Shown as the cheapest, typical (median) and highest across registrars. Announced registry changes are listed apart, never added in.
- Transfer
- The price to move a domain you already own to that registrar. At most extensions it adds a year at that price; .uk moves free and adds no year. After that you renew at that registrar’s renewal price. A dash means the registrar’s price list doesn’t include it.
- Restore fee
- What a registrar charges to get a domain back after it expires and the renewal grace period ends (redemption). Shown where the registrar’s price list includes it (Namecheap, Dynadot and Name.com). The other registrars’ price lists don’t.
- Renewal jump
- The renewal price divided by the first-year price, for the lowest first-year offer. A jump of 1.5× or more is marked as a promo.
