Registration, renewal and transfer prices for .biz, in USD, re-checked daily. Registry wholesale is about $18.00 per year, so the last column is what each registrar adds on top. Machine-readable: current · history.

Scheduled rise: .biz goes to $22.00 on 2027-04-01.

Is renewing early worth it?

.biz goes from $19.05 to $22.00 a year at Porkbun on 2027-04-01 — 178 days away. ICANN’s Base Registry Agreement (§2.10(b)) obliges the registry to sell your registrar up to ten years at the pre-increase price right up to that moment, so the lock is real rather than a loophole.

This is a prepayment, not a discount. Registry fees are non-refundable and do not follow a domain you sell, so prepaid years only save money on domains you would have renewed anyway — the third figure is the point where the trade stops being a loss. The ten-year cap runs from today, not from when you registered, so a domain with three years left can add at most seven. §2.10(b) fixes what your registrar pays the registry; it does not oblige your registrar to pass the saving on, and a registrar that has already repriced saves you nothing. Premium and legacy-tier names are excluded from uniform renewal pricing and can behave differently. Figures ignore the ICANN fee, tax, and what your money could earn elsewhere.

Renewing a domain you already own cannot be linked to from outside — it needs your account session — so those links open each registrar's own page for .biz. Moving to a cheaper registrar is a transfer, which extends the expiry you already have by one year at the new registrar's price. It is normally blocked for 60 days after registration and after a previous transfer. None of these links earns this site anything today — see disclosure.

If you let it expire

Recovering a lapsed .biz costs $112.40 at Dynadot — a restore fee, not a renewal, and 6.2× the cheapest renewal above. The redemption window is 30 days by Dynadot's reckoning, then 5 more before the name is deleted. Dynadot is the only registrar tracked here that publishes this figure, so it is one registrar's price rather than a market rate — the rest are here.
