What is .com domain renewal?

A .com renewal is the amount you pay to keep a domain registered for another year, charged at full price once any first year offer has run out. For a name you intend to keep, this figure matters more than the opening discount, because it repeats every year for as long as you hold it. Listed amounts are in local currency, so Afrihost shows ZAR 269 in rand, while Afriregister Burkina Faso quotes XOF 9,000 in CFA francs. Set the renewal as a recurring cost at the same time as you register, and compare it with the first year price.
