    hi,

    till now my host buys domains for me for $12 each as I don't have cc or verified paypal account. Now I want to have lot's of domains but buying each of them for $12 doesn't look such a nice idea. Shud I look for other options or stick to my host to buy domains for me ?

    Look for other options. It's never a good idea to use the same company for hosting and domains, imo.

    I agree with mcfox. The more popular domain registrars are cheaper anyway.

    Avoid registerfly.com if you can I have bad expirience with them.

    Have three domains there but now when it is time to renew them
    I can't login to my account, support is not replying to my emails for days.

    ya thanks guys and special thanks to AmitPatel_3001 :) He was the first one to tell me about domainsite. Thanks medtang as well. Now I am able to register domains on my will and don't have to rely on my host.

    Never use a host for domain registration, many times that register it for you as proxy, which means they can hold your name ransom if you try to leave.
    Not to say they ALL would, but why risk it?
