.co — priced to try, renewed at the real rate
.co costs $7.49 for the first year and $40.49/yr after — the difference is the registry's introductory pricing, not a trick, and both numbers are on this page.

Three things about .co worth knowing first.
The parts that are easy to find out afterwards and irritating to find out afterwards.
Year two is the real price
The renewal is $40.49/yr — 5.4× the first year. Worth knowing before the brand is printed on anything.
Transfers include a year
Moving a .co in costs $40.49 and extends the registration by a year — you lose nothing by transferring.
WHOIS privacy is included
Your name and address stay out of the public record at no cost, for as long as you hold the name.
