Domain registration in Serbia: .rs and .com prices
Domain registration for a .rs address costs 2,040 dinars wholesale from 2026, and registrars sell it for about 2,100. What a domain is, who issues it and what else you pay.
Domain registration is the first cost of any website and the only one paid for life. A domain is leased, not bought, for a year or more, and it stops being yours the day the lease runs out. From the start of 2026 the national .rs domain rose to 2,040 dinars including tax. The Serbian national internet domain registry raised the wholesale price from 1,800.
- A `.rs` domain costs 2,040 dinars with tax from 2026, up from 1,800.
- At a registrar the retail price is about 2,100 dinars.
- The cheapest national option is `.in.rs`, at 480 dinars.
- A domain is leased, not bought, and paid every year.
- Domain and hosting are two separate costs.
What is a domain and who issues it?
A domain is the name people find you by, for example srpske.rs. On its own it holds nothing. It points a visitor to the server where the site actually lives. That server is paid for separately and is called hosting.
National domains in Serbia are run by the national internet domain registry, known as RNIDS. It does not sell to the public. It sets the wholesale price, and accredited registrars handle the sale, adding their own margin.
What does domain registration cost by extension?
Prices set by the registry from 2026, with tax, next to the previous figure:
.rsis 2,040 dinars, previously 1,800.co.rs,.org.rsand.edu.rsare 720 dinars, previously 660.in.rsis 480 dinars, previously 360- the Cyrillic
.србis 720 dinars, previously 600 - third level
.србdomains are 360 dinars, previously 300
At an accredited registrar the retail price runs a little higher. Registracija.rs, for instance, charges 2,100 dinars a year for .rs, and 900 each for .co.rs, .org.rs and .edu.rs. The gap against the wholesale price is the registrar’s margin. It is not the same everywhere, so it pays to compare two or three.
What do international extensions cost?
For a company working outside Serbia, .com is still the default. At the same registrar the yearly prices with tax are:
.com1,700 dinars.net1,900 dinars.org1,800 dinars.info2,000 dinars.biz2,000 dinars
Note that .com is cheaper than the local .rs. Domain registration price is not a measure of how serious an extension is. It reflects the policy of the registry that issues it.
How do you register a domain?
Domain registration takes minutes and needs no middleman. It runs like this:
- check that the name is free, at any accredited registrar
- choose the lease length, from one to ten years
- enter the owner details, since a domain is held by a person or a company
- pay and wait for the domain to go live, usually the same day
- turn on automatic renewal so it does not lapse
The last item matters most. A domain that expires goes into quarantine and can be taken by someone else. The site and all email on that address stop working the same moment.
Whose name is the domain in?
A domain belongs to whoever is entered as the owner in the registry, not to whoever paid for it. If an agency or an acquaintance registers it for you, insist that you or your company are the registered owner.
This is not a formality. When a working relationship ends, the domain owner decides where the site lives. Agencies that build business websites often bundle the domain and hosting into the first year. That is exactly when the registered name should be checked.
What else do you pay alongside the domain?
Domain registration is the smallest of three recurring costs. Hosting comes with it, meaning space on a server, and maintenance if someone keeps the site in order for you.
If you are working out the total, look at what the site itself costs. We set out the range in our guide to what a website costs. For selling online there is the guide to online store cost.
