Spaceship Promo Codes October 2026: Cheap Domains for AI Startups
Every AI project needs an address before it needs customers. A domain is the cheapest part of launching a chatbot, an agent directory or an AI newsletter, yet first-year promotions and renewal prices can differ by a factor of ten. This guide lists the Spaceship promo codes advertised on the registrar's own promotions page on October 25, 2026, shows what each one is attached to, and explains what happens to the price in year two.

Spaceship promo codes advertised on October 25, 2026
The table shows what Spaceship's promotions page displayed on October 25, 2026. We did not complete a checkout, so none of these prices is confirmed at the payment step. The "Verification" column says how far each claim was checked. Spaceship says it can change or end offers at any time, so confirm the total in your cart before paying.
| Code | Extension | First-year price | List price | Renewal | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| COM67 | .com | $3.60 | $9.66 | $9.98 | Advertised on official page, not tested at checkout |
| NET19 | .net | $4.78 | $11.20 | $11.20 | Advertised on official page, not tested at checkout |
| XYZ52 | .xyz | $0.75 | $13.77 | $13.77 | Advertised on official page, not tested at checkout |
| IO85 | .io | $14.98 | $51.75 | $51.75 | Advertised on official page, not tested at checkout |
| SPSR86 | .top (as shown on the card) | $0.98 | $3.85 | Not shown on the pages we read | Advertised on official page, not tested at checkout |
| SIREGSPS26 | .si | $6.65 | $11.88 | Not shown on the pages we read | Advertised on official page, not tested at checkout |
Two further deals appear without a code: .shop at $0.70 for the first year and .site at $0.98. On the same day the domains page also showed sale prices with no code at all, such as .com at $8.88 and .dev at $8.28.
What each code is attached to
COM67 is the headline offer for .com. The promotions card shows $3.60 for the first year, down from $9.66, and a separate domains page lists .com at $8.88 with no code, so the code is worth roughly $5 over the no-code sale price. Third-party coupon sites list COM67 at other prices, such as $5.48; those listings are secondary evidence and were not used for the table.
NET19 covers .net at $4.78 for the first year. A .net name is a reasonable alternative when the .com is taken, though renewal returns to $11.20.
XYZ52 brings .xyz to $0.75. That is the cheapest code-based entry in the table, and also the one with the largest jump afterwards: renewal is $13.77, more than eighteen times the first-year price.
SPSR86 is displayed against .top on the official page. Some coupon sites list it for other extensions, but we could not confirm that on Spaceship's own site, so treat any use beyond .top as unverified. IO85 and SIREGSPS26 are the codes shown for .io and .si.
How to apply a Spaceship promo code
- Open the Spaceship promotions page or the domain search and look up the exact name you want.
- Add an available, non-premium name to the cart. Premium domains are excluded from the offers.
- Enter the code in the promo field at the cart or checkout. Use the code that matches the extension.
- Check that the cart shows the discounted first-year price and the renewal price, and read any taxes added for your location.
- Complete payment only if the total matches what you expected. If the code is rejected, the offer may have ended or the name may be ineligible.
Which extension suits an AI project
| Extension | First-year price | Renewal | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com | $3.60 with COM67 | $9.98 | Products meant for a broad audience |
| .ai | $79.98 | $79.98 | Funded startups where the brand signal is worth the price |
| .io | $14.98 with IO85 | $51.75 | Developer tools and APIs |
| .dev | $8.28 sale | $12.42 | Documentation, demos and side projects |
| .xyz | $0.75 with XYZ52 | $13.77 | Experiments and throwaway prototypes |
| .shop | $0.70 | $31.05 | Online stores selling AI-made products |
Spaceship also lists an ICANN fee of $0.20 a year on most of these extensions, and none on .ai and .io. The .ai figure is the plainest example of why a first-year discount is not the whole story: there is no discount, and the cost is the same every year.
Registration price versus renewal price
A promotional price applies to the first registration term only. Over three years, a .com bought with COM67 and renewed twice would cost about $3.60 + $9.98 + $9.98, or roughly $23.56 before taxes, against $29.94 for three years at list renewal rates. A .shop bought at $0.70 would cost about $62.80 over the same three years. The cheapest first year is often the most expensive third year, so decide on a name you would still pay for at renewal price.
AI project ideas that fit a cheap domain
- A landing page and waitlist for an AI agent or automation you are building, on .com or .dev.
- A prompt library or AI newsletter, where a short readable .com helps recall.
- A demo site for a model or API wrapper. Pair it with a no-code builder such as the one covered in our Lovable guide, or an AI editor from our Cursor guide.
- A short-lived experiment, where a $0.75 .xyz is a sensible gamble and a $79.98 .ai is not.
Limits, privacy and terms to read first
Spaceship's terms state that coupon codes are limited to one code per domain per customer, that special offers apply to new first-year registrations only, that offers run for a limited time, that premium names are not eligible, and that Spaceship may change a promotion at any time. Its domains page describes free domain privacy, which keeps your personal contact details out of the public WHOIS record; confirm it is enabled on your registration. Auto-renewal is available and worth turning on only if you intend to keep the name, because renewal bills at the full price.
We did not compare Spaceship against other registrars, so this article makes no claim that it is the cheapest overall. Prices were read in dollars; your currency and any tax can differ at checkout. AI Explainer India has no affiliate arrangement with Spaceship, and the links here are plain links with no tracking code.
Launching an AI website on a budget
Pick the name first and the extension second. Search for two or three names, check each one's renewal price rather than its headline price, and register only the one you are ready to build on. Then keep the stack light: a static page on a free host, a free tier of an AI tool for content, and basic analytics. Our list of free AI tools is a reasonable starting point. Revisit the domain budget once the project has users, since that is the point where a pricier extension may earn its cost.

Can I use more than one Spaceship coupon code?
