Buy a Domain name at what cost?
With so many people reselling hosting and domain names. How do you really know if you are getting a good price when you purchase a domain name?
Research!
That is the only way to see if you really are getting a good deal.
Not to long ago domain names were over $30 for a year and there still are companies charging that ridiculous price.
There are many companies that have special pricing for buying a name. You can purchase a domain if you buy any non-domain product (like webhosting). This may be a good deal if you are looking for more than just a domain.
Saving a few dollars may not seem to important for you but remember when you have to renew the domain you will have to pay the going rate at that time.
That is why I try to research when I am buying something expessily if I will have a reoccuring charge every year on a product.
Before you purchase the name, take a look to see if you can get a discount on multiple year purchase or multiple domain purchases. Many of the domain registars will do that.
If you are planning on building a website and believing that purchasing a domain name is the first step.
It is not.
Take your time to research different names. Even by moving the words around can help you with a great domain name. Yes, most of the one and two word names are gone (not all but most). But you can still find a great name at an affordable price.
