We registered a test domain with a promotional registrar last year. The math seemed obvious at the time. Here is the full cost:
- Registration: $2
- Whois privacy: $0 (included)
- Transfer out: $15 (auth code fee)
- Renewal to unlock: $8 (60-day lock workaround)
- ICANN fee: $0.18
Total: $25.18
For one year of service. We will not name the provider, but we will share this data. The lesson is that transfer pricing deserves equal attention.
