Renewing the domain name for subsequent years is $US20 per year.
If Format provides the custom domain name, we can also provide one custom email address via Google Workspace. See our custom email guide. This is US$72 per year additional to all plan prices. We are not able to transfer a Google Workspace subscription from Google or another hosting provider, the offer is only for NEW Google Workspace subscriptions.
