Worth to buy domains with discounts?

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by nerdipod, Apr 6, 2021.

    I wonder what can you recommend: to buy domain name with discounts or not?
    I have seen different domain name registrars offer good discounts for the domain name registration. Even for .COM domains.
    I think that .com domain name is the best option for any site.
    What if I grab such domain name? Good idea?

    It depends on what you plan to do with your website. I also recommend a .com extension.
    Make sure that you take a good domain name, because it will effect your brand and SEO.
    Good luck.

    .com domain name extension is the one which is used by default. If you hear: check this at digitalpoint - you do the following: use digitalpoint.COM.
    But a lot of good, short and catchy domains are taken there. You are lucky if your prospective domain name is available .
    Other good options for domains can be .net domain name extension.
    As for the domain name registrar: chose any you like.
    If now they have discounts for .com - for transfer and renewal price can be different. Just be ready for that.
    If you are planning long term investment - go ahead and use .com domain name.
    I assume even $20 per year for good domain name is not a fortune.

    You will have to pay full price from second year onwards. So if you picked up a "few" today, on discount, say for $100, then from next year onwards, you will need $300 to $500 to renew them.
    Choose the ones you like and can use, wisely. Go for those only.

    It is a good idea, but you should know whom to buy it from.

    Many providers lure you with discounts and then slap you with high renewal rates which ends up being a bad deal for you in the first place or you shelling more than the market rate.

    Look at a trusted provider like BigRock that has discounts on and off on .COM domains and most importantly, their renewals are not high. Also, do go through review sites to check about them just in case, like WHTOP or hosting charges to understand what people have to say about them.

    Hope you find what you are looking for.

    Well. .com is good if you are targeting globally. For example, if you are targeting services in uk then definitely .co.uk will be better than .com. So, be specific about your target audience.
