Have you found the right domain name? Think you are ready to buy this domain?
There are hundreds of registrars available and most of them offer domains for less than $10. But you can’t choose…
As an affiliate you may need full DNS management, URL/domain forwarding and masking.
This post is just a quick overview of some of the best registrars that I have worked with over the past few years.
1and1 Internet
This is a large web hosting company that also provides one of the cheapest domain name registrations. For .com, .org, .net, .biz domains you are charged $6.99. They also offer .info domains for $0.99.
Do you need privacy? The above fees include private domain registration, which means that your particulars are hidden from public view. You get full DNS management, domain forwarding and masking. Both credit card and PayPal payments are accepted by this registrar.
Do not buy hosting from this company, there are better and cheaper solutions. But if you are looking a cheap domain registrar, you can try them!
Dotster.com
Dotster provides cheap prices and easy-to-use web interface to manage your domain settings. They are a Top 10 ranked ICANN accredited domain registrar.
You get email forwarding, URL forwarding, full DNS management, domain locking, web hosting, email boxes. The prices are from $3.99. Both credit card and PayPal payments are accepted here.
Moniker.com
This domain name registrar allows domain name registrations for plenty of TLDs, including .com, .net, .info, .mobi, .biz, .us, .co.uk, etc. The full list is too long to store in my database… Prices for domain names differ, depending on the choosen extension.
They charge $7.97 for .com, $6.29 for .net these days.
Their interface allows you to manage your DNS settings, URL forwarding and everything else you may need. Both credit card and PayPal payments are accepted by them.
GoDaddy.com
This is an extremely popular registrar. They offer .com domain names for $9.99 (plus 20 cents ICANN fee).
They have an easy-to-use web interface to manage your domains. Both credit card and PayPal payments are accepted.
I also like their auctions where you can buy ’second hand’ domains for as low as $5 (but you have to pay for the renewal). I bought some great, old domains here with backlinks and PR2 pageranks…
Almost forgot to mention… Don’t buy hosting from GoDaddy 
I’ve found GoDaddy to be a great domain registrar, as long as you host somewhere else.
Your web hosting provider
Yes, it’s another great way to regsiter a domain. Some of the hosting companies offer free domain registrations with annual plans.
Once you’ve decided, you should not hesitate to click on that purchase button. I’ve lost more than 5 domain names by hesitating.
Stay one step ahead of your competitors!

Hey Paul-
Just wondering if you have ever tried registering a domain and hosting it with Office Live Small Business from Microsoft? Right now you can register and host your site for free for the first year. The service includes matching domain name email addresses for up to 100 people.
Cheers,
