Purchase at the right price
As a leading provider of domain registration and hosting services, we have helped millions of people around the globe shop for and secure cheap domain names.
Why pay more?
Most business owners think that buying an expensive domain name guarantees traffic and recognition of their site. However, it is easy to get a cheap domain name that is equally reliable: simply choose us as your registrar. Before registering your domain, choosing a desired name is the crucial first step. Once you have done so, you can use the search tools (like the domain check bar at the top of this page) to help you check whether your domain name is available or if it is already in use. If all your preferred names are already taken, you can choose a completely new one or try another domain extension. There are different ways in order to get a domain. You can register the domain name directly or you can select a web hosting plan.

You can secure domain names with us at very affordable rates, usually starting at $1 for the first year or sometimes even less. Here is how domain prices come about in general.
Added features of a domain
When selecting your provider, do not only compare prices. You should also check what you actually receive for your hard-earned dollar. At IONOS, there are no ICANN fees, you get a free personal consultant, free domain privacy, free email and SSL included.
Availability of the domain name
For a substantial number of domains, you may find that your desired name is already owned by someone else. If you have no other option but to buy that domain, e.g. because it is easy to remember, then you'll likely have to pay a lot more for it.
Registry prices
Some domains are cheaper than others. One important element of the retail price is at what price the individual registry — e.g. VeriSign for extensions like .com or .net — is willing to sell to us as a registrar.
Supply and demand
When consumer demand for a domain is high and many hosting companies are willing to offer it as part of their portfolios, then that will drive retail prices down. Thus, making niche domains like .audio cost a lot more.
Competition
In the US, there is normally a battle for the cheapest .com domain prices. That is great for our customers. We strive to have very competitive offers for both, first-year and renewal prices.

The term premium domain refers to all domains which are already registered by another person or company who might currently not be interested in selling it. These domain names are usually short, generic and thus easy to remember.
Because of these characteristics, owners of such a premium domain will not sell them cheaply and can expect to make a lot of money when reselling them. Usually, premium domains are auctioned through marketplaces, like sedo.com and not very cheap to get your hands on.
At IONOS, we always strive to offer our products at competitive price levels - for all customers. However, due to the sheer size of our product portfolio, we cannot guarantee to have the best price available for all products, all the time. Instead, we focus on a selected range of domain extensions which are frequently sought after by our customers, such as a .com, and provide those domain names to you using a very aggressive price point.
There are a couple of things you should keep in mind if you are interested in purchasing a cheap domain name. Please compare the offers along the following dimensions:
- 1st year price,
- multiyear-registration options and discounts,
- opportunities for bundles,
- additional services available to you, and eventually
- the renewal rate (price as of the second year)
in order to get the best deal possible. Usually, a cheap domain name renewal price for the 2nd year is higher than the welcome offers you can get for the initial registration in the first year.
