Why it matters
The two kinds behave differently. An aftermarket premium has a high upfront price, then usually renews at the normal rate. A registry premium may also renew at a high rate every year. That renewal difference changes the true cost of ownership. Always ask a seller or registrar for the renewal price before you pay. A common mistake is paying a large upfront fee on a registry premium and being surprised by next year's bill.
