Cheap Domain Name Registration
Buying a domain name is the first and most basic step in building a website or getting your own .com email address. While most hosting companies include a free domain name with the purchase of a web hosting account, there are times when one is not enough. A classic example is purchasing the .net and .org domains to accompany your .com domain if for no other reason than to keep others from registering them. Often times a competitor will register your exact domain name but in a less popular TLD like .us or .info. Many people just like to register new domain names and hold on to them for future use. A popular example is buying your first and last name.com or your company name.com before you are ready to build a website.
For those of us that need more than one domain name, where should we go to purchase and register additional domains? One of the most popular domain name registrars is GoDaddy.com where domain names are always cheap. One word of caution when purchasing anything from Go Daddy. Beware the upsell! The last time I registered a domain name with Go Daddy I counted 9 different upsell pages where I had to scroll to the bottom of the page and click “no thanks” just to complete my simple domain name purchase. While extremely annoying, some feel it is a small price to pay for the cheapest domain names available.
