Perfect for affiliate marketers building comparison/calculator sites. Cost comparison is evergreen — every industry, every product, every service has a cost question. The domain is the keyword.

Handshake domains resolve today via HNS.to bridge, Fingertip, HDNS.io, and browser extensions like LinkFrame. You can also use OBIAN, a desktop browser built for decentralized domains. Mainstream native resolution isn't here yet — which is exactly why the namespace is still available.
What can I do with a .costs domain today?
Build cost comparison sites, affiliate pages, price calculators, or content blogs on your keyword. Host on IPFS for decentralized delivery or any traditional web host via A/CNAME records. Use it as a brand identity, social handle, email address, or print marketing asset.
Why not just buy a .com?
Try buying energycosts.com or shippingcosts.com — they're either taken or five figures on the aftermarket. On .costs, you get the exact keyword as a natural-language domain at a fraction of the price. And unlike .com, your SLD is on a decentralized protocol with no registrar middlemen.
How do I register a .costs domain?
Registration is handled through ShakeStation, a Handshake domain marketplace. Search for your desired name, complete payment, and the SLD is yours. Pricing and availability are managed on ShakeStation.
How do renewals work?
Renewal terms and pricing are set on ShakeStation. Your domain cannot be taken from you — Handshake is permissionless. As long as you renew, it's yours.
