    Is it just me, or have the prices for .com domains risen from $5.99 to $7.99.

    Just did a search for a new domain, and it was $7.99

    I know it's only $2, gonna buy it anyway, just curious :p

    They have increased the prices from Sep. 12 onwards.

    However you can still use the coupon code XUP599 to register new domains for $5.99

    By the way guys, what are your opinions about Name registrar? I have never dealt with them. I have domains with Namecheap and Godaddy only!

    Personally I think they are very good. Reasonable prices and it's a very easy process. The domains are easier to manager than godaddy in my opinion. I personally started using it as I only have an unverified paypal account, but now I use it whenever I want a domain :)

    You see, even that $7.99 is cheaper than the first year on godaddy, and (in my opinion) name.com is better than godaddy anyway :D

    With coupon codes, godaddy is $7 every year.

    With 100s of domains, that does make a difference.

    before name.com rise the price, it is very cheap.
    For godaddy, use coupon code: goxt2001cc,
    you can get .com domain at $6.85 for all years.

    You could get a few thousand for a domain of that caliber.

    It's actually cheaper than Godaddy, Just use XUP599 code it's also shown in the main homepage and you get Domain name for $5.99 :)

    I think name.com is still a good deal considering you also get free whois privacy - I think you have to but at least 5 domains at at time with Godaddy to get free privacy otherwise it's 8.99 each
