Prices for domain names vary among different registrars and hosting companies. The normal cost is in the range of $8 to $15 per year for the .com domain. Other gTLDs such as .net or .org may be less expensive. Specialty dTLDs such as .guru, can run as high as $100 a year. Registrars may also offer special deals used to make an initial purchase so that you pay a low entry fee, but are charged the regular price in subsequent months. Note: If a promotion boasts $1 domain registration for the first month, it will likely charge you $14.99 the following eleven months. Simply be aware that after the first month or first year, the normal price will take effect.
