Our verdict
Netim suits beginners and small businesses who want a .com and business email from one provider, with a .com at $19 in the first year and $19 at renewal, so nothing jumps at the second bill. The trade-off is range: hosting is limited to email hosting and support rests on help centre.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The .com sits at $19 in the first year and $19 at renewal, so the first bill predicts the second.
- Transfers cost $13, under the €12 median for this category.
- Hosting covers email hosting and email is a listed feature: email, so the domain and the mailbox sit together.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, with no listed live channel for urgent domain or email issues.
- The hosting range is limited to email hosting, so a shared or VPS plan is not part of what you get here.
- Hosting data centres are listed in France only, which keeps your sites in a single region.
Who it suits
- Small businesses pairing a .com with business email, matching the beginners, small business and enterprise Netim lists.
- Buyers who check the second bill, since the .com renewal of $19 matches the first year.
- Teams wanting the domain and the mailbox in one account, since hosting covers email hosting.
Who should look elsewhere
- VPS.org, if the lowest first-year .com price matters most: its .com is $12.51 against $19 here.
- Afrihost, if you budget in rand, where the .com starts at ZAR 289.
- Host Chile, if you budget in pesos, where the .com starts at CLP 16,900.
How it compares on our data
Netim ranks 109 of 127 brands on .com first-year price, so its entry price sits mid-field rather than at the cheap end. Its renewal ranking is stronger at 59 of 91, and transfers come in at 30 of 68. The gap between the entry ranking and the renewal ranking is the part to read before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
What does a .com cost at Netim in the first year and at renewal?+
A .com is $19 in the first year and $19 at renewal, so the pair does not change. A transfer in costs $13 at registration. For anyone budgeting over several years, that steady renewal is the part that matters.
How many domain extensions are on offer?+
Netim lists 1,300 extensions, spanning country and regional endings alongside the usual suffixes. The .com itself is $19 for the first year, so a wide extension list does not come with a higher headline price on the name most small sites use.
What support can I get?+
The listed support channel is help centre, which means working from documentation rather than talking to someone. No phone or chat channel appears, so allow slower answers when a domain or mailbox problem cannot wait.
Where does the hosting run?+
Hosting data centres are listed in France only, so there is a single region to weigh. If most of your visitors sit further away, that distance can show in page load times, and there is no second region listed to spread across.
Is there a free plan and a refund window?+
Netim lists free plan and a money-back period of 30 days on the hosting side. That lets you try the email hosting and step back inside the window if it does not suit, before you meet the renewal price of €1.50.
What does the hosting itself cost?+
The hosting intro price is €1 for a 12 term, then €1.50 at renewal, with email hosting the only type listed. Category medians for the same two points are €2.99 and €5.99.
Who runs Netim and who is it for?+
Netim is a French registrar, registered as NETIM SAS and based in France, founded in 2004. It serves beginners, small business and enterprise, so the range stretches from a first domain to larger business accounts.
