Need to buy about 5 domains, can recommend me a cheap register?

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by spiritfly, Jul 26, 2007.

    Hello,

    I need to buy about 5 .com domains. I know there are some promotions going on from time to time, coupons flying ect.. So can someone recommend where to buy the domains? From what I've read around I'm thinking about: godaddy, domainsite, mydomain and namecheap. Are they good? Price is a priority for me, including the renewal price, the complexity of the panel and support are not important to me. So.. any suggestions are welcomed.

    Thanks up in front

    I recommend GoDaddy or Namecheap. Look for a namecheap coupon for July,if there is one.

    Go for GoDaddy and use the Coupon code OYH3 (i think) to save $2 off .com's

    Godaddy support is bad.

    Thanks for your replies guys. Here are the calculations I made after doing a little sniffing around :) :


    namecheap.com:

    $8.88
    - $0.90 (July Coupon Code: BOTTLEROCKET - $0.90 off on new registrations and transfer.)
    = $7.98

    (that is with free whois guard, godaddy doesn't include that in the price mentioned here)

    godaddy.com:

    $9.15
    -$2 (Coupon code: OYH3 - 2$ off on .coms)
    =$7.15

    livedomain.eu

    $7.15

    couldn't find any coupon for livedomain, but the price is the same as godaddys, and what is with the design, uses even the same template as godaddy

    mydomain.com

    $8.47
    (Coupon code: 7domain - This coupon is good for one $7 domain per account, per order, per person.)
    $6.97

    This coupon doesn't help me because it applies only to one .com, other domains in your cart will be $8.47


    Well if there aren't any other promotion codes or so, I guess the winner is livedomain.eu! Congratilations ! :D

    Thanks for your help guys, if someone happens to know a cheaper price than that for a com(at a decent registrar that is) please share it with us. I'm going for a little shopping now..

    Yes, and they provide whois protection for only $0.50, anyone what is their downside in comparison to the ones mentioned in this thread? $6.99?? There's gotta be something.. whats the catch?

    I'm glad I didn't make the purchase yet, thanks tobycoke!

    Domainsite's basic $6.99 first year offer does not include email or domain forwarding or DNS management (you can change nameservers but not A,MX or CNAMES). Its $7.99 to include those features.

    I bought 3 domains at domainsite, and my impressions so far are good. A,MX and CNAME are of no use to me, so domainsite is the best deal I could find. Thank you for mentioning it tobycoke, rep++

    Godaddy's cheap and the customer service is actually very good, which really surprised me.

    Best solution is godaddy with coupon code. It will be 7.15*5 = 35,75 also Godaddy give free whois protection when you register more than 3 same time.

    The cheapest is not always the best, you should look for a reliable registrar. You mentioned godaddy, domainsite, mydomain and namecheap, they are all reputable companies. If you're looking for cheap, you can usually get .com domains @ Godaddy for around $6.95 plus 20 cent ICANN fee with coupons
