I am looking at domain names as a friend asked me for some information. I am looking at godaddy. The question I want to ask is 1) What is your experience with GoDaddy for domain registration only? 2) How much does the privacy details cost? I know it gives contact information to ICANN but how much does this feature cost? 3) What are the alternatives besides GoDaddy? 4) What other things should one consider when buying a domain name? Thanks in advance
Usually i avoid godaddy. No specific reason, i just get better support from smaller registrars. I prefer namecheap (free whois protection) and domainsite but this is just my opinion
Godaddy is an amazing company for domain registration and the largest one I believe. Privacy registration is 4.99 I think, but they have specials all the time. Take a look at namecheap as an alternative. Make sure you spell it correctly and get other extensions if it is to be a large site. Also look around for coupons. Good luck.
