Yes,

You can get .biz and .us in $7.60 (OR as low as $5.99 if you buying in bulk) by using coupon code " htmli.info " in mydomain.com. They has a fine reputation and I have quite a lot of domain with them.

thanks for info but i wont be buying in bulk, just 1 domain :/

[njoker555]

I checked http://www.powerhoster.com and its .us domain registration is $6.95USD per year.

The .biz is $6.95USD to December 31, 2007( it is in promotion ).

thanks i gave you rep for that lol, i never heard of them though, even though its just $0.05 less, i might just get it, i dont have big plans for the domains anyway, just to forward them

edit: i surfed through them, reminds me a whole lot like godaddy, i think they are a reseller, last reseller i had a huge problem with, so not sure if i want to go with them

[drugstores4u]

Yes. You are right. powerhoster.com is a reseller of wildwest domain. All the support is given by wildwest domain, the sister company of godaddy ( and the same management group ). I think wildwest domain support group is very good.

i'd rather go to the source than the reseller lol, more reliable that way

It's $7.60 which is cheapest in among registrar. For .biz I remember 1and1 they do have a deal for $2.99, check my signature. :)

However source of the reseller will charge you a bit higher than reseller. Most of the time reseller won't have any problem. I have a domain under reseller and no problem at all. :)

couldnt agree more, people have to be careful when choosing!

Yep 1and 1 still offers biz domains @ 2.99 first year.

[hellobbs]

Yep 1and 1 still offers biz domains @ 2.99 first year.

Yes, but I heard lot of negative feedback from they users. I have never used them before as I'm NOT stay in US. But since OP looking at cheapest price so this is the best way to go.

[htmlindex]

Name.com has .biz & .us for $7.99 & they are reputable. Most of the reputable companies are around this price or more.

Yes, but I heard lot of negative feedback from they users.

Exactly. 1&1 has a bad rep in the domaining community.

yea i have domains from them but they are very slow in updating name servers, and transfer costs more than the dam domain which is annoying lol, but i may have no choice if i want to save money

yeah but then i'd rather go to godaddy if its the sister company lol

:D

i havent visited 1&1 site in months even though i have like 2 domains with them lol, thanks for confirmation

Yes, but I heard lot of negative feedback from they users. I have never used them before as I'm NOT stay in US. But since OP looking at cheapest price so this is the best way to go.

they are just slow, thats why people don't like them lol, their hosting is reliable but again support is crap

[hellobbs]

yea i have domains from them but they are very slow in updating name servers, and transfer costs more than the dam domain which is annoying lol, but i may have no choice if i want to save money

I'm not sure about name server updating issue as there are almost real time for my domain. Maybe It's hosting account or anything, as I have an netfirms account they required 1 day for DNS update. :eek: But no choice because I'm same like you, looking cheapestttttt........ price :D

But, just a thing I'm not sure, transfer cost more than registration cost? Are you sure? I just look at the price and It still $7.99 , and new registration $8.75 (without coupon code). :confused:

http://faq.1and1.com/domains/moving_domains_from_one_package_to_another_/2.html

there it is, its from moving a domain from one account to another, $9 for a .biz domain lol - registration costs $3 now

and i have 3 domains from 1&1 right now, name server update takes like a whole day to fully stablize

[kohashi]

like i said before, im in no hurry for the domain, and i dont plan to even buy the domain until january, is there a problem with getting information beforehand? if there is you can keep it to yourself, i dont need to hear comments about how i can go and just spend 5 more cents for a domain

thank you very much!

Really? Because then I see people like you come back later and complain that they suck and whine about they should be getting awesome service and aren't because that extra nickel was just tooo much.

As I said if you're serious, go with a decent registrar, anything under 10$ is pretty reasonable if you actually want service. As you approach 6 it's basically the crap service zone.

[njoker555]

wow thats a harsh assumption dont you agree? why would you assume someone LIKE ME would come and complain and whine later about a crappy company, why do you think i would ask for a referral here?

really if you have nothing productive to say dont say anything at all - and i dont need the really awesome 24/7 service for domains, i've been dealing with them enough to know what to do and how to do it

[DomainCo.US]

estdomains
6.39 for .biz
5.49 .us

Mainly because people trying to save an extra nickel choose the worst companies to save it. You don't need 24/7 service in most cases but just look up registerfly is you want an example of needing ANY service and any serious person involved with domains knew they were awful long before they went under. There are fly by night resellers and offers all the time. Just because you know how a domain works doesn't mean the company you buy through will even let you use it the way you want or properly. The less you pay the more likely you choose one of these companies with shady policies because they are doing something to make up for the lost revenue? Domains AREN'T free, they gotta be making money somewhere and for the price level you're asking for, it clearly aint from the registration. Report me all you want, I really could care less.

[njoker555]

lol you still think its about saving a NICKEL - and it seems you havent even read some of the stuff i said - i stated im trying to get some information before i buy it, im in no hurry to buy it, and does it hurt to get information about something before you buy it?

you come on and saying how people like me WHINE and CRY about it later on for not getting good service, trust me i have the money to buy that domain even if it cost $35 - I just don't have any experience buying a .us or .biz domain - i've bought .com, .net, .org, .info, .co.uk, and along with a few others and i know the good prices for them.

and if you have no company to refer to me please don't reply with your worthless comments because i could careless about what you have to say about me trying to save 5 cents when you have the whole concept confused

@domainco.us - thanks i'll check out est domains
