Need to buy domain names..any suggestions?

    I am looking to buy a few domain names - .com only.

    Please recommend me a few domain providers that are selling domains for cheap price and accept paypal.

    And is it possible to earn money by blog flipping? My idea is to start blogs through blogger or wordpress and get domains for them. Then promote them and get a good PR (maybe PR3 or PR4) and then sell the domain and blog. By doing this how much can I earn from doing such flipping?


    Thank you!

    i use NAME.COM because of the price is low but mainly due to free privacy on whois. the other hosts make big bucks off of making your whois data private.

    Namecheap, Name.com, Godaddy - those seem to be the most popular registrars.
    Since you are planning to flip, avoid registrars who do not offer free name push (eg. 1and1)

    Your flipping idea is not a bad one. Quite a number of people do the same thing.
    As for how much you'd make...the best answer would either come from you doing an
    in depth analysis of others using the same model OR from experience by just doing it.

    I'd have to say Name.Com are my favorites. I started out using GoDaddy, but Name.Com are cheaper and have pretty good customer support/service.

    Don't forget with name.com that the prices went up, but you can still get a $5.99 .com with the code XUP599 at the checkout

    buying and selling domains is not an easy business , especially now the whole domain industry is in a slump, sales this year at traffic in new York only topped four million, compared to last years ten million one name that stands out is rescued.com sold for five thousand dollars,
    trying to pick up good domains for reg fee is almost impossible,

    This is something that has been going on for years. Why don't you try to think outside the box? Come up with a blog that everyone MUST READ, get attention, get traffic, place an ad or two and make some serious money instead of the nickel & dime flip.

    Actually this is a new method for me to make some cash on net. I have been doing affiliate marketing, blogging, selling and much more since the past few years and recently this blog/site flipping caught my attention.

    I wanted to buy a few domains and at the sametime going to do a few flipping too.

    Thank u!

    Only use big Registrar....Never try small Registrar even if they are on the list of ICANN.
