It depends if your hosting a site or just buying domain name. I have seen domain names for $5 with hosting for .com name. Make sure to read the terms of sites with lower prices some have locked domain names and made owners pay hundreds to transfer them out.
^ nice also, make sure that the registrar have a good business background.. make a bit of research.. gooling is a great way to start.. see to it that they have an accommodating and 24/7 support. Most registrars lack that very important service. So I presume that .com $6.99 price is Domainsite.com? Whelp, AFAIK they're one of the cheapest around + the excellent customer support. I've had some minor issues with them before but were solved in a timely manner. Be sure to regsiter your domain to a highly reputable domain registrar. Good luck
You can register from www.netfirms.com at $4,95 for first year. You can register from www.name.com at $5,99 for first year. You can register from www.domainsarefree.com at $3,99 for first year.
^ Those are amazingly cheap but how much is the next years renewal cost? How about the quality of those registrar's customer service? Please let us know. Thanks
I only use netfirms.com and their support is not bad. I don't know renewal price but I think about $8 or $9. Before renew it I transfer my domain to godaddy for selling it. But I register sometime from netfirms.com. Also you please look this campaign of Netfirms. http://www.netfirms.com/max 2 domain name registration 1 year hosting service (host unlimited website) etc.

Hello, Cheaper, sometime you can get the domain name for free, if you contract a hosting plan, here there is a list where you can fin this hosting providers http://www.expireddomainup.com/compare-domain-registrars.html Best
I like NameCheap too though they are not the cheapest. I can manage the domains under me better. NetFirms only allow a max of 5 domains at $4.95 for the first year, after which it will be $9.95 per domain.
The problems with cheap "1st year" registrations 1. Expensive next years renewal cost, usually doubled 2. Must pay for addon services like domain forwarding, dns management etc 3. Usually, poor to worse customer support Usual problems of Free domains with hosting package purchase 1. You don't have total control of your DNS 2. Admin name's under the hosting company 3. Registrar transfers can be a dilema just in case there's a sale 4. You bind a contract I'll rather choose registrars that offers many FREE addon services, instant push, 24/7 support by phone/ticket and total feedom of full control over your domain name. For adding a few like $1.50-$2.00, you'll enjoy great savings and usable addon features in the long run.
