Best Domain Registrars?

[ata.online]

Which domain registrars do you recommend for domain purchase? I am not talking about buying 12month hosting with a free domain package. But purchasing a personal domain only.
The ones i have seen are 123reg, namecheap. I noticed that one registrar charges more for the same domain compared to others.

I use internetbs.net for .com domains. You can go with godaddy also . This is also good.

 

[pshrestha]

try godaddy.com

I did register a domain wtih them but i have read too many complaints about them regarding problems with domain transfer and other issues etc. But i guess you get that with any hosting providers.

Since Google has partnered with Godaddy on domain registration, i noticed that buying a domain from Google is cheaper as it offers free privacy on WHOIs database. Just a $10 standard fee (+tax).
If you buy direct from GoDaddy you have to pay extra on this feature.
They have Deluxe and Protected plans (with few extra features though).


Also, i bought a domain which is similar to another. Will i be penalised?
I noticed that some domains are similar to others apart from the extension of .com, .net, .info

I bought the domain tweak2.com at internetbs.net at $5, for first time registrations through domainlazy.com, Renewal will be $7 or sub sequent another registration will be $7.

I got domain privacy freely. no extra charge.

Regarding the similar domains it depends on their policies. Generally not penalized until you are not a threat to them like damaging their reputation etc....

I just compared prices on both google and internetbs.net and noticed that the latter is cheaper. About £4.24 which is approx $7. When you mentioned internetbs, i found it a bit amusing as 'bs' is used in forum for a derogatory term. I may consider this company in the future, thanks.

Maybe it doesn't matter as much if it's a small website/company compared to larger organisations like google, yahoo who would try to take action.

i use godaddy , although i do admit that i really get botthered when buying a new domain there, they just fill your screen with advertisements and offer, they say "namecheap" is good and better. never tried it personally though

I just checked out a domain from the link you posted and find the price more expensive than the ones i have come across.

I recommend don't bother so much about the price, cause if you will get it in for low price finally how have to pay a lot to renew it. That's all get compensated.

I assume that the renewal price tends to stay the same, or does it increase every year?
If yes, i'm sure it wouldn't be that much of an increase in price.

We can't say about the price change. If you feel the price may change next year, why don't you purchase the domain for multiple years. Max 10 years you can purchase.

Yes, that is a possibility and maybe save on the price increases.
What the internetbs domains, do they tend to have a price increase each year?

 

[Gouri]

I don't know because this is first time i have taken it. Lets see what happens next year. If it increases then i will renew it for more number of years or transfer it to any other domain registrar

 

[rei hino]

Namecheap and Active-Domain are the ones I have used.

 

[cashmaker6673]

I just bought with namecheap, and until now I have no problem with them, they give you free private whois for one year.

I normally use godaddy.com because of its consistent prices. You can ALWAYS and I really do mean ALWAYS find a godaddy coupon code for domains. There is always a code for 7.49/yr .com, .net, and .orgs and there are always 7.95/yr renewal coupons for the same ones every year. In fact, I just renewed about 6 domains in the last month on godaddy using coupons from http://livecodes.blogspot.com/. Sounds like a sales gimmick I know but hey, whatever, domains haven't changed much in price over the years and I don't see them going up or down too much. They will stay low because of the amount or registrars and the ever decreasing amount of available TLDs. However if you want something more personal, like a .me, they might get you for $12/yr for the FIRST year and the renewal will be something like $20, but that's just for special domains.

I use intenetbs.net for .com domains. You can go with godaddy also . This is also good.
