Cheapest domain renewal (feddit.uk)

I'm looking to register a new domain but hate how pricing is $0.01 first year, $1M renewal. It doesn't seem like a deal if it's going to cost so much to renew.

Are there any transparent registrars or any tools that will give you a cost over 3 years or something?

I'll be honest, I did Google it but you'll never guess what the top hit was. I didn't click. I'm putting this here in a small attempt to transfer some knowledge to the fediverse.

Me, just now, learning about that for the first time:

Very cheap domains that actually renew at that price? That's interesting, though I guess you could almost just as well memorize your IPv4 address for free instead. Except you get to pick this number and use subdomains. Now l just have to think of a memorable 6 to 9 digit number...

I guess still having my ICQ number memorized might finally be useful for something! Who'd have thought?
