A web2 domain at $20/year costs $200 over a decade. A .seo domain from $5 costs $5 — once. The savings compound. The ownership doesn't expire.
But the more important difference is not the price. It's the model. A web2 domain is a contractual relationship with a company. A .seo domain is a cryptographic record on a blockchain. One depends on a company staying solvent and aligned with your interests. The other doesn't depend on anyone.
In an industry built on understanding how signals work, the choice between renting and owning your domain is not a technical question. It's a strategic one.
