Premium registry names vs hand registrations

2026-06-30 · Buying

When to pay registry premium renewals versus hunting aged hand-regs with cleaner long-term economics.

Renewal math

Registry premiums can stay elevated forever. Model five-year TCO before bidding. A cheaper aftermarket .com with standard renewals often wins.

Brand risk

Short premiums look great on slides but may collide with trademarks. Run clearance early, especially for category-defining dictionary words.
