    It also depends on the domain name itself. I registered a domain recently, and it was much cheaper to go with .io than with .com.

      Interesting. No matter which domain name I check with my registrar, .io is always ~9€ per month and .com is ~2€ per month (if it’s available that is).

      Some registrars (like GoDaddy) like to basically do squatting themselves, and then offer you that domain as a “premium domain”, costing whatever they think they can press out of you for that domain. So that’s not the registering price, it’s the squatting price.
