Cheap first year, steep renewals
On 9 October 2026 Namecheap listed a .com at $10.98 for the first year, then $18.48 a year to renew. A .net cost $12.48 then $18.58, and a .org $8.48 then $18.98. A separate offer showed a .com for $6.79 for new customers only. Privacy protection is free for life.
The catch is the second year. A .co was $7.98 to register and $45.48 to renew, and a .io was $34.98 then $75.98. Namecheap adds a $0.20 ICANN fee at checkout on .com, .net and .org, so those listed prices are slightly below what you pay. Moving a .com in was on sale at $11.48.
