How Much Do You Spend On Renewals?

All the way back in January 2009, I said that domaining is not for newbies. Since then, I have come to offload a lot–and I do mean a lot–of domains. Now, I have a group of domains that I use for websites or are saving to use as websites in the future. I only have a few domains that I am investing in as they are no-brainer premiums.

However, want to know something ridiculous? As I have a lot of domains needing renewals from June to October, I decided to go ahead and see how much I would need to spend on renewals every year, assuming that I don’t buy anymore. After realizing this maybe a little too much sum for just domains, I decided to make quick two sales, although it didn’t help that much. Anyways, here it is. I do most of my domain management through Moniker, so the pricing is based off of Moniker’s pricing page.

.com $8.02 * 9 domains
.net $6.64 * 4 domains
.org $7.97 * 3 domains
.info $8.02 * 27 domains (I know, I need to find a new .info registrar)
.us $7.29 * 1 domain
.asia $19.99 * 1 domain
.mobi $7.49 * 3 domains
.tv $32.99 * 1 domain
.cc $18.99 * 1 domain
.ws $14.81 * 1 domain
.in $18.46 * 1 domain
.jp $89.70 * 1 domain (need a new .jp registrar too)
.sc $117.14 * 1 domain (ouch)
.me $19.86 * 2 domains

Drum-roll please….

This equals to be…

A staggering $740.52 just on domains!

Okay, so I make a lot more than that every year so fund it all, but still, after selling out a good 20 domains, I am still above what I had initially hoped–below $500.

Maybe I need a new registrar or the flexibility to spread my domains out on multiple registrars…

How much do you spend on your domains? If you don’t want to give out any specific figures, a ballpark would do. Leave your comment, get a link back both throughout the blog and through CommentLuv!
