What's Included in the Price
The annual price above is the full registration cost. There's no setup fee on top of it. Renewal is billed at the same annual rate, so the price you pay to register is the price you'll pay each year to keep the domain.
How to Pay
Every .rw domain type can be paid for with MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, or a debit/credit card.
Where Prices Can Change
ac.rw and coop.rw require supporting eligibility documents, but
they're not priced any differently from the other second-level domains. The
9,000 RWF/yr rate applies across the board.
Domain Cost Is Only Part of the Budget
A domain's annual price is one line item in launching a website; the other is hosting. See How Much Does a Website Cost in Rwanda for how domain and hosting costs combine into a first-year total. For the most current prices alongside hosting costs, see our pricing page, and check our domains page to search availability and register.
