I was looking for a domain to mask a movie affiliate link. Today I found movies.tc on ebay. They transferred ownership to me, but it is at idotz.net. Movies.tc will expire on march 9, so I need to renew. Idotz wants to charge $35 a year plus an extra $7 to allow email forwarding. Then, I decide that I will transfer it. But I cannot find a registrar that I can transfer a .tc domain to. I even called GoDaddy customer service just now and they said they do not offer support for that extension. Does anyone know of a cheap domain registrar that will allow me to transfer .tc domain to?
There are very few domain name registrar which offers .tc as an option. GoDaddy does offer it but at $34.99/year and they don't seems to accept transfers. Most country domains are usually never cheap and if you just got the domain name transferred to you, you may need to hold on to the domain name at the registrar for a period of 60 days before you can transfer and if it is nearing the period of expiration, you may not be able to transfer out too. $35 a year for the .tc is cheap as some places I see charges several times that amount.
Yes Moniker is one of the cheapest places to register tld's like that, $35 is probably as good as it gets.
For an exotic ccTLD like .tc, it's gonna be around the $35 or more. iDotz, Moniker or Godaddy seem to probably be the best choices IMO.
