What's the cheapest domain extension

And where can I get it

there is one website comparing the pricing

but renewal fees are so high so its a trap be careful

It kinda depends on whether you intend on renewing the domain or using it as a throwaway. Lots of cheap offers for initial year but prices rise for renewals.

Aren't Freenom the cheapest domains still for a grand total of $0?

Still I like to stick to domains with good renewal fees as @thedorf comment like .top and .vip which also look very generic for most purposes.

careful with cheap domains that renew at a exorbitant price
check xyz or info domains they are cheap and renew cheap

thank you for the info

Yes. But xyz value is well, from selling / trading perspective not that high- almost nothing.

You are always good to go with a solid (max 12letters) memorable, ideally without dashes or numbers .COM domain.

Go with the top gTLD‘s and you can’t be wrong.

.AI = too expensive and seems like the hype is over
For internet related things „.IO“ is an option.

Depends on where you buy it, transferring it to another registrar etc. it’s a different story, but as @mrbit said - renewal costs can be really tough.

So either you buy a simple gTLD like com, org, net (there are more)
Or you consider that it will be an expensive renewal - you can have a look as already posted on tld-list

And it’s proven that domain prices increase since years.
Spaceship is btw a company of NameCheap, as far as I remember.
They are good / okay.
Can also recommend Dynadot- my favorite.
Most of my Domains are distributed, but as of now - and that is something I will change: Approx 35% is on GoDaddy. They are one of the market players- still pricy and complicated with customer service.

To summarize:
- tld-list
- look at renewal price
- if there is a sale and this is YOUR brand or something you might want to keep, then register the domain longer than 1 year
- look at coupons
- com domains still rule (reseller value)
- try to buy a short memorable domain
- if it’s a shortcut of anything, please check IP/TM before. First step could be to have a look : wipo.int

- In case you just want one domain and not starting to flip them, then ignore most of the summary and just buy anything
Would still avoid dashes and numbers.

How does tld affect rankings?

Freenom. You can get these domains for free.

I think tldes.com

Its simple, go to: tld-list.com
Type in your domain or any example with the respective TLD.
Then, check the best prices (most likely, Spaceship has significant discounts, which belongs to NameCheap).

NameCheap themselves have a "Bulk"(Beast?), search Mode, where you can search for, e.g., bhw.com. It will tell you that it is sold and give you many, many other Examples.
You can search there by Pre- and Suffix, TLDs (whole overview of ALL)
Keywords that should be included and excluded.
So I'm not Promoting NameCheap, but I have had no bad experience with them as far as I know.

Check out .XYZ is popular because it's affordable and versatile. Several registrars offer it at reasonable prices.

According to my knowledge, i think ".xyz" domain extension is one of the cheapest options available.
But I will suggest you, that you should take best domain extension for a serious project. don't go with the cheaper option. because if your extension is good then your site domain will look good.
