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’ve found most registrars will at least list the price after the first year. So you should be able to buy it for $0.01 with the clear knowledge of the normal yearly price to expect. I’ve used Cloudflare for registration and they’re pretty good, only issue was some TLDs that weren’t supported by them. PorkBun seems to get a good review. I personally use a local registrar who offers TLDs local to my country.
