Prices are what each registrar publishes, converted to US dollars at today's rate; the currency switch in the header converts them again. Year 1 uses the promo price when it is below the list price. Registrars that publish no renewal price are listed but not ranked, and a difference under 1% is a tie. Leaders come only from prices checked in the last 14 days. Compare every zone.
