Yeah I am starting a console game forum. and if it goes well I might buy a domain. The average prices everywhere is around 9 dollars per year, if anyone knows anything cheaper, it'd be nice to post!
{Not looking for fancy extensions. Just .com or .net or .org is fine}

godaddy.com they always have discounts too its where I will buy my domain if I plan to buy one.

^ Yeah I saw their TV ads saying they are selling it for $1.99 but when I went to check they were back to 8/9 dollars again

well sometimes you can luck out found a .info for 99 cents at times then other times other ones for cheap , still cheaper then many other places Ive been so far

Its 1.99 with a non domain purchase. Thats where they get you.

Eight to nine dollars is still a good deal, but watch how you pay for it. Godaddy has a BAD habit of auto charging accounts on anniversary's. There is an option to turn it off, but if you renew manually, it automatically turns it back on and you have to go back and change it again.

I noticed that Yahoo! is offering domains at a competitive price, but I haven't used them, nor heard any reviews about Yahoo!.

use code Hash3 on godaddy.com and its 7.45

I've heard horror stories about trying to cancel services with Go Daddy. And this site doesn't seem to like them very much either.

Yahoo has cheap domains, but I believe you need to buy hosting from them as well.

All big sites have there own site.
Like paypal.

They are businesses and will do whatever it is to make money. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer and you should have little problems with godaddy

I really hate to insult... but that just made absolutely no sense.

Would you mind rephrasing?

Haha okay, all big sites have their own hate sites.
Paypal has paypalsucks.com or w/e
Ebay has it.

Both very big companies that millions use.

So its only natural for godaddy to have one too.

They don't care about small clients, and therefore if you get 1 complaints, godaddy can shut your domain down. So if you have any enemies online or real life that know you have a domain with godaddy, they can make some false complaint about you spamming and godaddy will revoke your domain.

So don't have enemies.

That doesn't make much sense, basically be good if you buy from godaddy.

It might be interesting to find out which domain hosts the neopoint-selling sites and cheat forums use, for example neofriends.net. Does anybody know what they are, and are they "offshore?"

They use enom for domains.

Fun to look up hosts, well imo.

Me and my dad share billing with Godaddy but were in the process of moving all of our domains as someone at their offices used my dads credit card and bought seat tickets for some sporting event. Cost $847 they were also double billing us and trying to keep the charges close to our monthly costs so we wouldnt notice...

Whqat i dont get is who registers the domain name in the first place.. like what do they register it from exactly?
