The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 116 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): median, minimum and maximum FIRST-YEAR and RENEWAL price per TLD across every registrar that publishes a price list, and the first-year-to-renewal multiple - the renewal cliff - per registrar per TLD. Nobody publishes the cliff, because every registrar advertises year one and quotes the renewal on a second page or not at all: the read on 2026-09-10 found 123 Reg advertising '.com from just 1p' in year one against a renewal it does not put on the same page, while Porkbun, Dynadot and Cloudflare publish one number for registration, renewal and transfer. Also computed: the count and share of registrars publishing a renewal at all, the GB-versus-US spread on the same TLD, privacy and transfer priced or free, and repriced-since the previous read.", "embed": "
