When purchasing a domain, it is common to assume that domains with the same extension—such as “.com” or “.net”—would be priced equally. However, prices often vary based on several factors.
1. Differences in Domain Extensions (TLDs)
Common extensions such as .com, .net, and .org are generally more affordable.
Newer extensions, designed for specific industries or purposes—such as .shop, .tech, and .design—may carry higher prices, depending on the policies of the respective registries.
Country-code domains (e.g., .kr, .jp, .us) vary in price according to the regulations and policies established by each country’s registry.
2. Policies of Registry Operators
The price of each domain extension varies based on the policies and base pricing established by its managing organization, known as the registry. 
For instance, some registries may offer reduced prices as part of promotional campaigns, while others maintain higher prices for extensions that are considered scarce or premium.
3. Domain Popularity and Scarcity
Short domains or those consisting of simple combinations of letters and numbers are more difficult to acquire and typically command higher prices. Additionally, domains with established brand value or high search demand often carry a premium price.
4. Registration Period and Promotions
While the basic registration fee is typically charged on an annual basis, discounts may be available for long-term registrations of two or three years or more. Additionally, registries or sellers may offer promotional discounts during specific periods.
5. Inclusion of Additional Services
Domain prices may vary based on the inclusion of additional services such as WHOIS privacy protection, email forwarding, and enhanced security features.
Note!
Domain prices vary based on factors such as the type of extension, registry policies, domain popularity and scarcity, registration period, and the inclusion of additional services. Therefore, when selecting a domain, it is important to consider not only the price but also your intended use and the services you require.
