Domains are pretty cheap but respect on getting it done for free
I paid $1.80 for my first domain (which was a .lol TLD, a little obscure but worked for me). It's now renewing at $26, though. The more well known ones are a fair bit more expensive though, and rarely have introductory sales. There are a lot of random weird domains nobody's ever heard of that only renew for a few bucks a year on going though.
It wouldn't work for a Lemmy instance, unless you don't mind changing instances every year, but you could theoretically get domains for less than a dollar for at least a few decades by constantly changing domains every time you're due for a renewal, to make the most of the introductory discounts lots of them have
Nah just find a registrar that doesn't charge beyond ICANN and registry fees. Should be ~$11 per year or so for .com. That's what I pay for my personal .com and also thelemmy.club ($12/year)
Won't get any crazy introductory rates but you won't get rate hiked down the road either. Cloudflare does this. Porkbun too and actually it looks like they are doing a promo of $7 for the first year right now.
Looking at it .lol just goes for $23 in general, which iirc is set by the central registry of each tld
