Domain names are not one time purchases? Secondly are you referring to monthly or yearly? They sometimes do flash deals which might be why you got it for one year at that price (assuming you paid that yearly). But the discounts usually don't last forever.

You’re probably thinking of premium domains. Most ngTLDs charge more for high-value names to mitigate squatting—and to take a larger piece of the pie.

It was for one year. I just checked and it is set for auto renewal in November and will cost another $12 for another year. It is a 6 letter domain.
