Domain Cost Planner FAQ
Why plan beyond year one at all?
Because domains are subscriptions wearing a purchase costume: a £3 first year at £45 renewal costs £183 by year five. The plan view prices the relationship, not the honeymoon.
What about premium domains?
Premium names carry individually-set prices the catalogue marks as requiring a live quote — this planner covers the standard tier, which is what almost everyone registers.
