Where to Buy Domains

I've bought domains from Godaddy, but seriously you need to research them first. Using something like Freshdrop.net is going to help you analyze the domain auctions--and then find the domains you really need.

For backorder purpose Godaddy is very costly IMO.

Freshdrop and Godaddy can give you nasty surprises with good looking but bad history domains... Even if a smart domain would check everything, loopholes may kick you off.

Just a quick tip on when buying domains: make sure that you do not search for domain names on GoDaddy before you buy them because they have frontrun me before on a name that wasn't available before, but I took too long to purchase. Try using whois to search for domain names.

It's just a godaddy clone, the sort available from eBay seller "domain-nameit" for under US$50. What concerns me more is what happens to the domains registered if the owner decides to give up or fails to pay next years renewal fees. Similar discounts can be had with coupons from GD itself. I bet there's all the upsell cr*p too.

If it's a new company then good luck to them but for domain names I'll stick to more established businesses, it's safer long term imho.

I've found the best way is to set up your own 'whois' using the script from Sam’s Whois � phpAce. All you need is a spare page on a hosted site, it's easy enough to do. I've been "pipped at the post" trying to register a domain before, it's very annoying and there's nothing that can be done about it. You snooze you lose.

LOL that's the slogan for Name.com's deleted domains list.

Sometimes nice domains can be found in Godaddy closeouts.

For website related whatever i have to take any services mostly i use first review hosting company because we can see there many reviews hosting company in one place with dissimilar packages. I have used already Webhostinglamp: it has great multiple review hosting website for buy domain server and more.

ADMIN NOTE:
a - Has nothing to do with topic.
b - This is a "third party" endorsement of his own site.

This is a forum populated primarily by web professionals.

How many of those do you think don't recognize that you just did a "third party endorsement" of your own site?

Please... use your brain, and thank God we dont have a rep system.
