*14 extensions · prices per year in USD*

Prices in US dollars for one year, grid dated 12 November 2026, paid from a crypto balance. WHOIS privacy is free where the registry allows it.

## How do these prices compare with Namecheap's renewal?

Namecheap discounts many first years with coupons, then renews at its regular price. That regular renewal is the fair comparison for an address you will keep for years.

*Namecheap regular renewal prices as listed on domainoffer.net on 12 November 2026; namecheap.com refused our reader that day. Porkbun and Cloudflare Registrar sell several of these extensions for less: we do not claim to be the cheapest.*

| Extension | Postelva, every year | Namecheap regular renewal | Postelva is lower by |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| .com | $12.49 | $19.98 | 37% |
| .net | $13.49 | $14.86 | 9% |
| .org | $12.49 | $15.18 | 18% |

## How is each price set?

**Each price starts from what the extension costs us and stays under a named competitor.** The cost floor is the highest of three dated figures: the registry's wholesale price plus the ICANN fee when it is published (for .com, $10.97 + $0.20 since 1 November 2026), Cloudflare Registrar's at-cost price, and Porkbun's renewal price minus 6%, since Porkbun sells close to cost. We add 10% and round up to a price ending in .49 or .99. Then we check that the result stays under Namecheap's regular renewal price for the same extension. For .io, a registry increase to $56 on 19 January 2027 is already counted, so its price will not move on that date.

According to Postelva's survey of 12 November 2026, this puts the 14 extensions a median 30% under Namecheap's regular renewal, from 2% under for .io to 37% under for .com. The page on [what a custom email domain costs in total](https://postelva.com/how-much-does-a-custom-email-domain-cost/ "How much does a custom email domain cost?") adds the mailbox plan of each provider to the domain price.

## What does an address cost over five and ten years?

Because every year costs the same, the total is the yearly price times the years. Nothing to recalculate when the promotion ends.

## Which extension gives the best value for an email address?

**For most people, a .com: it is the ending everyone types without thinking, and at $12.49 it is also one of the cheapest we sell.** A .me reads well in a personal address (anna@smith.me), a .email says exactly what the domain is for, and a .page or .link is the lowest yearly cost if the name you want is taken in .com. The guide to the [best domain extension for an email address](https://postelva.com/best-domain-extension-for-email/ "What is the best domain extension for an email address?") weighs length, typos and how each ending looks in an inbox.

Avoid an ending you would have to spell out on the phone every time. An address is dictated, typed into forms and printed on invoices for years, so the few dollars between two extensions matter less than how easily people get it right.

## What is included, and what costs extra?

**The domain price includes DNS hosting, email forwarding, URL forwarding, the one-click email templates, DNSSEC and the transfer code.** WHOIS privacy is free wherever the registry allows it. The only paid option is [Domain protection](https://postelva.com/domain-protection/ "What is Domain protection for an email domain?"), at $29 per year and per domain: the domain is registered in the name of DomaineGoat LLC, you stay the beneficiary, and a person reads every complaint before any action on it.

The mailbox itself is not included, because Postelva does not host email. You pay your provider separately, in the way it accepts: Proton takes Bitcoin, for example, while most others take cards. The [step-by-step guides](https://postelva.com/guides/ "Custom email domain setup guides") list the plan each provider needs for a custom domain.

## How does payment work?

1. **Top up $25 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes.
2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount.
3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account.
4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times:
5. **One balance for every domain** — If you started from a domain search, the top-up is the price of your cart (or the minimum, for a smaller cart), and the domains in your cart are registered once the top-up is credited. What is left stays on your balance for renewals, transfers, Domain protection and new domains. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it.

| Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min |
| Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min |
| Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min |
| Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min |

Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again.

## Pricing questions

### Is there a first-year discount?

No. Each extension has one price every year. A first-year discount is usually paid back at renewal; we prefer a price that stays the same.

### Can I register a domain for several years at once?

Yes, up to 10 years in total, at the same yearly price. A .com for ten years costs $124.90.

### What if the domain cannot be registered after I pay?

If a domain is taken in the meantime or refused by the registry, if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, refused by the registry), the full amount goes back to your balance.

### Why is the minimum top-up $25?

The balance pays registrations, renewals and options, and never expires. The part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if it has not been spent.

### Do you charge to transfer a domain out?

No. The transfer code is free, requested from the client area and there is no exit fee.
