.link is a generic top-level domain, delegated in 2014, and IANA records Nova Registry Ltd. as its sponsoring organisation, in Malta. The registry points registrants at uniregistry.link for registration services. That delegation record was last updated on 26 Jun 2026; if the registry has changed hands since, IANA is where it shows up first.

Nova Registry publishes an acceptable use policy for .link as a PDF from its registry site; it is the document a registrant is bound by beyond the registrar's own terms. Its registry agreement with ICANN, signed 14 November 2013, is recorded as Base, Non-Sponsored — no sponsoring community stands behind the extension, so there is no community test to pass.

The RDAP server for .link is looked up in IANA's bootstrap registry at check time, with the public rdap.org aggregator as a fallback, and checked together with DNS-over-HTTPS. Premium suspects (such as very short names) and brand-protected labels also get a third signal, Fastly Domain Research, before they are shown as available.
The lowest renewal among the 3 registrars we track is $7.72 a year at Porkbun. The highest is $14.99 at GoDaddy, so the same .link name costs $7.27 a year more depending on where it sits. Prices verified between 13 Sep 2026 and 4 Oct 2026.
Not at the registrars we track: none of the 3 renews .link at more than 1.8× its first-year price. The 3-year column is registration plus two renewals, so a change would show there.
3 of the six registrars in our price table: Porkbun, OVHcloud and GoDaddy. The others either do not sell .link or have not been re-verified recently enough to show, and a price we cannot re-verify is not printed. Each row carries its own verification date; these were verified between 13 Sep 2026 and 4 Oct 2026.
