There is no published final price to quote for every .web domain. In October 2026, Verisign said it was still finalizing pricing for registrars and planned to charge premium prices for some names.
Registration and renewal
Your registrar will quote the price to register the domain. Ask for the exact name rather than rely on a banner advertising domains “from” a particular amount.
Check renewal prices before paying for the first year. For a premium name, find out whether the premium applies only at registration or also when you renew.
If you qualify for matching .com registration, get a quote that applies to that period. Prices at the public opening may differ.
Buying from an owner
A holder's asking price pays for the domain they are selling. Registration, renewal and any agreed transfer or settlement charges are separate costs.
Suppose a matching .com holder lists a .web opportunity. Before agreeing on the sale, both parties need to know what registering the .web will cost and who will pay it. A premium charge comes out of the seller's proceeds unless the buyer agrees to pay it separately.
If the buyer agrees to pay that charge through DotWeb, we arrange the payment process. The seller waits for our confirmation before registering the name.
DotWeb's charges
You can prepare a private offer on DotWeb for free. Nothing is due when you save it, and you can edit or withdraw it in your account.
When our acquisition service opens, the fee to ask us to pursue your offer will be US$19.95. You can change your offer at checkout before paying. We research the matching holder, present your proposal and manage the negotiation.
A completed purchase carries a buyer-paid 10% closing commission. The domain purchase price, registration and third-party charges are separate. Creating a public Buyer listing or Owner listing is free.
If the matching owner does not respond within 14 days after DotWeb delivers your offer through qualifying outreach, you receive a credit toward another acquisition request. That credit has no expiry. A rejection, failed delivery or an offer we cannot present is handled differently; the applicable conditions will be shown before payment.
Before paying for a preregistration
Read what the provider promises to do. It may only record your interest or attempt a registration later. Check whether the charge is refundable and what happens if someone else registers the name first.
Submitting a request early does not give you priority over a qualifying trademark or matching .com holder. Our preregistration guide explains the distinction.
