Any cheap domain offers ?

[@vi]

Guys any cheap domain offers going on ? needed a .com domain. Few days ago there was $1 .com domain at Godaddy, are there any similar going on ?

thanks in advance

Nothing right now for .com.

But .in are there at 99/-, 89/- at diff. providers.

needed .com bro. Well let me wait for others reply

Don't fall for such offers. Even though godaddy is very reliable and has vast customer base, I have read bad reviews about them. But the main point is, for first year you may save $8-9 but from next year you may have to pay more. Normally .com domain costs around $11/annum, you can search for a discount coupon for Name.com and purchase from there.

I am already a customer of Godaddy & I am satisfied

Yes, I agree with you 2nd charges will be high. But after first year we change the provider

godaddy is for starters, once you get experienced, you will ditch it as they are very bad for active sites.. I know because I have several people coming from godaddy..

Also, there is nothing like $1 but they actually take actual cost price from bundled hosting plans etc.

Consider $10 as average domain price for .com ..

 

[montsa007]

Use namecheap, costly but worth & free whois guard.

 

[Saahib]

Well, then I have one with free DNS, free email, free whois gaurd , free domain forwarder.. all with domain price.. around $9 !

Actually there is because I have myself bought one domain at 52rs

Godaddy does run occassional offers where it sells domains for $1.18...

Will Godaddy or namecheap also gives 1 email ID free (i.e. admin@xyz.com) while booking the domain ?

YUP !

Yes I guess, not sure. But you can always create one from cPanel, no need of GD

Bro, I am talking of getting email ID when registering the domain. Will GD/Namecheap give email ID without taking webspace from them or anyone ?

 

[gagan007]

Dunno about godaddy or any other service but Name.com gives you option to create email IDs even without hosting account.

 

[KDroid]

You can always create 10 free email IDs with your domain using this.

 

[gagan007]

ohhh yes, I forgot about google apps although I am trying to use it with 3 of my domains

@gagan007
Can you please help me confirm if Godaddy / namecheap gives option to create 1-2 emails ID ? (e.g. admin@xyz.com)
I am more inclined towards Godaddy / namecheap.

@kunal.d
Thank you. That means even if I change domain registrar (Godaddy to namecheap) free email IDs (e.g. admin@xyz.com) remains free ?
Can you please share any basic tutorials for this ?

You only purchased domain and its .com domain ?
