    Lets say, I have a company. I want to register a domain for my company name like : mycompanyname.com.
    I don't want other people to own other versions .net, .org ...etc of my company or website name.

    However, I don't thin it is fair to pay for all the other extentions, it is my company name. Is there a discount or something else that could help for a cut

    dump question huh ! excusme

    If you register it through GoDaddy it will offer you a discount on the second page for 2 other extentions, usually 40%.

    Other than that the only thing you can do is apply for a trademark. Others can still take the other names, but you can sue them if you have a trademark. If not, anybody can register the names and there's nothing you can do about it.

    All true. But that discount is only good for the first purchase. You can run the purchase term up to 10 years I think for even more savings.
