### How much does .media cost to renew?

The cheapest renewal is \$16.80 a year at West.cn. Renewal is the price you pay every year after the first, so it matters more than the first-year price.

### Where is it cheapest to transfer a .media domain?

West.cn, at \$16.80. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration.

### Is .media a teaser price?

At 19 of 36 registrars the renewal is at least 2× the first year (up to 14×). Compare the renewal and the total, not the first-year price.
