When a .io domain fits
.io is frequently considered for developer tools, infrastructure products, and technology startups.
A discounted first year can hide a larger recurring price, so compare the renewal and 3-year total together.
How to read this price comparison
First-year registration
The initial cost to create an available standard domain; it may include a temporary promotion.
Renewal and ownership cost
Three- and five-year totals combine the first-year payable price with later renewals for a longer-term view.
Transfer price
Transfer pricing applies to an existing domain and is not automatically mixed into a new-registration total.
Check a specific .io domain
A public price list cannot confirm whether a specific name is available or premium. Use the complete-domain search for registrar API status.

How much is a .io domain in the first year?
Among currently recorded prices, the lowest first-year price is $28.89. Promotions, eligibility, taxes, and premium pricing remain subject to checkout.
How is the 3-year .io cost calculated?
The 3-year estimate is the first-year payable registration price plus two annual renewals. Transfer pricing is kept separate.
Does this price list confirm that a specific domain is available?
No. The directory shows standard TLD prices; a complete domain still requires registrar API checks for availability and premium status.
