Our advice: a cheap extension is fine for a test, a side project or a link page. For a business or a blog you plan to keep, pay a little more for .com or .in, which renew at about $6 to $11 a year at the cheapest registrars.

How to pick a cheap extension
Decide how long you will keep it
One year: take the cheapest first year.
Check the renewal before you pay
Most $1 extensions renew at $15 to $45 a year.
Prefer short, clean names
A short .com or .in beats a long name on a $1 extension.
Avoid spam-heavy extensions for email
Some email filters are stricter with very cheap extensions.
Turn off auto-renew if it is a test
Otherwise the full renewal is charged next year.

Are cheap extensions bad for SEO?
Google treats new extensions like any other. But spam-heavy extensions can be blocked by some email filters and look less trusted to visitors. For a business, .com or .in is the safer choice.
Why do cheap domains renew so high?
The first year is a registry or registrar promotion. The renewal is the normal price, and it is set by the registry, so moving registrar rarely makes it much cheaper.
