What does a .new domain require?
Registration is $412.46 and renewal $412.46 a year.
Technical obligation
HTTPS only, and the registry requires the name to be used for an action or creation flow. HSTS-preloaded across the TLD.
This does not affect whether you can buy the name.

Standard price from Porkbun. Premium and reserved names return the same registry answer as an ordinary free one, so every quote here is a floor rather than a price.

Is a .new name free?
Availability comes from the registry itself over RDAP, with a WHOIS fallback where a registry publishes no RDAP service. A throttled or unreachable registry is reported as unconfirmed rather than available. It is the one wrong answer that costs somebody money.
