* [OT] purchasing a domain name @ Lorenzo Taylor ` BlindTech of BlindTechs.Net ` hank smith 0 siblings, 2 replies; 11+ messages in thread From: Lorenzo Taylor @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just was wondering if anyone knows where I can find the lowest price for a domain name. It seems that there is a fairly large corporation who holds a monopoly on all the .com, .net and .org domains on the internet, and they sell them to a bunch of resellers. The problem is that the reseller that seems to have the lowest price I could find is spending millions on advertizing, and therefore I would be paying more than if they didn't advertize so much. Does anyone know of anyone who can give me the closest to the wholesale price for a domain name for 3 or more years? I am not looking to pay $9 or more a year to buy something from a reseller who advertises during the Superbowl spending $30 million or more per spot.

So call me cheap, but if they charge $8.95/year and spend millions on Superbowl adds and podcast advertizing I should be able to get a better price from a company who doesn't bombard me with so many ads. Kinda like the onesuite thing. They can offer the best phone card rates because they don't rely on mega advertizing, so their overhead is low and the savings are passed along to the customers. Also, I was highly unimpressed with Godaddy's accessibility from text-based browsers when trying to register domains through their system. Basically, it seems impossible, unless I missed something somewhere. Links (l i n k s) seems not to be able to handle the javascript even in the availability search, and elinks tells me Javascript is disabled even when it's enabled.

A lot of the built-in price is the quote extras unquote you get with the domain name. If you don't want/need any extras, including hosting or name resolution, then go daddy is like 7.95 or something like that. I don't use them, I use info avenue, iaregistry.com, it's 8.95 (I think, it's been a while) and I host my own domains and provide my own name resolution. info avenue has good tech support, and is usually willing to work with you when email problems prevent proper changing of domain information. This is the reason I went with them, even though they're a dollar more. I don't need support very often (once in the 3-4 years I've been there) but it sure is nice to know it'll be there. I've jumped through hoops to get support from internic, even to the point of paying to have stuff pushed through immediately (which they charge ubnoxious amounts for) and still not gotten results. I suggest avoiding them if you can. At one point, I had nearly a dozen domains, and iaregistry.com worked w/o a hitch for all of them, while it was a constant battle with internic (not to mention rediculously expensive) Bottom line is, use what works for you, and ignore the advertising.

Hi, I don't know who has best prices, but I have owned several domains including this one I am sending from, and this is a very competitive market these days. You should be able to own one for cheap! I only pay $7 a month to own this domain, and that includes web hosting with 400MB disk space. There is usually an annual cost for registering the domain. You can actually buy domains direct from the registrars, but its super easy to get domain plus hosting from one of the thousands of companies offering it. I think I paid an annual fee of $15 to own the domain, then $7 a month for hosting that domain. It is definitely affordable! -- Doug ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
