Netfirms or 1&1?

Hi,

I am about to buy a new domain name in the next few days. I have narrowed my choice to 2 registrars,

1&1 and Netfirms.

1&1 is giving free .com's for the first year

Netfirms is giving .com's for $3.99 for the first year.

Can you give me a recommendation between the two or should I go for other companies.

 

NOOO, don't go with 1&1...
I have 70 domain names there and it's terrible to flip domain names!
Since then, I'm with Godaddy.com or Name.com. No way I would buy a single domain on 1&1 again!!!

 

1&1 like to tie you into contracts. The free domain most likely comes with a 24 month contract for hosting. Consider Godaddy, as buywiser said.

 

if you are buying just 1 domain, Netfirms is good, they also have free privacy. and only 3.99

Otherwise, go with godaddy, there s a coupon code for 6.89$ domains ,, good luck!

 

I prefer namecheap.com or name.com for domain registrations.

 

Make sure you are aware about transfer or renewal fees. That can be much more higher.

 

stay away from 1and1. i have been a client of theirs for a long time and had bought over 30 domains and hosting with them. i am not happy.

 

Netfirms is better

 

Do not go for free domain, it is risky !

Better pay $10 dollar to some registrar like godaddy and purchase your domain. You have full control over it.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions.

 

Neither man, Buy the domain name for $10 or go with MediaTemple:-D
