Short alternative
Register a .co domain

Common questions about .co domains
How much does a .co domain cost?
A .co domain is $11.40 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $11.40 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later. For comparison, GoDaddy renews .co at about $34.99/yr.
Does a .co domain renew at the same price?
Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .co stays $11.40/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.
Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .co domain?
Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .co domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.
Can I transfer an existing .co domain to Modusdom?
Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.
