Cheap .org domains ($3.99)

    Just thought i'd pass along a little information that i've found handy.
    Directi Resellers can sell .org domains as low as $2.50 this month. www.DotFrog.com (owned by mohawkri of this board) is selling them to users for $3.99 with a free push after 3 days of registration. The only catch is you must signup at the provider under a Latin American/Caribbean, Chinese/Southeast Asian and African address. After you have registered the domain, obviously you can change it back to a United States address.

    I've registered several.

    If you found this helpful don't be afraid to green me. :)
    Thanks!

    That is a great tip :) But isn't that a "little bit" illegal ?

    Not really sure. Seems legit to me as for the fact even a resident of those countries could push it to another person.

    Hmm, sounds a little obscure, to be on the safe side I'd rather turn down this offer.. I remember back in the days when they were handing out free .info domains :)

    So it's roughly $7. That's still not too bad.

    you're right, sorry - $3.47 is the price at present (well, still cheaper than 3.99 ;) ) - no public URL, but you can PM me with how many you need and we'll manage it ;)
