Guides on choosing domains, hosting and VPS, plus notes on the renewal prices that promo pages tend to leave out.
Onamae.com sells first-year domains for 1 yen and MuuMuu Domain sells .com for 750 yen. The renewal is where the money goes: 2,002 to 5,040 yen a year at Onamae and 1,728 yen at MuuMuu, plus a 10 to 20 percent surcharge at checkout.
Names.co.uk is giving away .co.uk domains free for the first year. The renewal is £27.59 a year (about $36.97), which makes the three-year cost higher than buying the same name at Porkbun for $5.66 a year flat.
