    Default You can NOT get really cheap domains!!! [READ DOMAIN NEWBIES]

    Ok, I saw many threads like this:

    Cheap .us Domains ? - Webmaster Forum
    Cheap .in Domains - Webmaster Forum

    And not just to point out those 2, but I saw more.

    You can NOT get really cheap domains, there is a minimum price for a company to register a domain, and I know the price for a .com is about $6.24(around that price).... anything less than that for a .com the company would be losing money.

    This price is different for all different domains, some are cheaper (.info) and some are more expensive (.in, .fm).

    So most likely if you see 9/10 registrars for a .in are about $15, you aren't going to find one cheaper.

    Hope this helps.

    Beg to differ.

    If one hunts around, one can always find any TLD cheap.
    Not just from registrars (and many have specials to draw in the business), but from sales of domains by others.
    Check many forums, and you will see domains going for way less than register fees.

    So domain newbies, you can get cheap domains if you bother to spend some time.

    Well... I was talking about registering them...

    Sure you can buy domains for less than reg fee from other domainers, I do it quite often

    Read again, also from registrars.

    Once in a while, you will see godaddy, yahoo, or some other registrar have a cheap domain sale just to draw in the business.
    Plus some registrars, again like godaddy and yahoo, who also offer hosting and other add-ons, will give a domain if you get their hosting.

    In any case, the above is a killer most times at renewal time.

    Then you need to look around more!

    Gosh, if you just use google or any search engine, you will find many times coupons for just about any registrar.

    Especially when you see registrars offer FREE transfers, etc.
    Godaddy use to have this one all the time in the past.

    Most .in reg company's did a very big promo for all ext .in's for around $3-$4, it lasted for about 9 months and was a big push to get the .in ext booming, it certainly did that, i understand more were sold in that time period than any other time since .in and other .in ext's were introduced. What then happened was a lot of people got the shock of when it came to renew was they went up to $13-$16 a year, so those who thought they had a very good keyword reg it for a few years at the promo price, like my vodka.in name


    If i see any coming I will post here to let you know.

    namecheap.com .us = $8.88, .us doesn't have special pricing, why'd you lump it in with .in?
    Regardless of this thread, people will come here over and over and make the same type threads asking the same type questions.

    Registrars buy domains in bulk.
    The more they buy, the less per domain.

    Think like a dime for most tld's.

    Some companies offer cheap domains names of almost all kinds.

    Even if the ICAAN has high price, sometimes hosting companies lower the price for their customers.

    But how do they get them in bulk like for example,

    Godaddy processes your domain as SOON as you see if its avaiable and you press buy, so how would they buy them in bulk

    Wow... how can you not know this? You fill up your cart with all the domains you want THEN you proceed to buy, ie; BULK.

    Registrars buy the rights to xx,xxx domains to x,xxx,xxx domans at a time.

    Last time my son checked (and it is not only expense to become a registrar, one must have one HUGE bond, site must pass muster as to security, etc), domains in bulk were going for as little as 4 cents.

    Some registrars will make deals with countries to be exclusive seller of their domains.
