I know that redirection.net charges $15.00 for domain registration and that includes url forwarding to another site.
registerclub.com is $10.00 no parking page or redirection.

Namebargain.com is $9.99 no parking page or redirection.

Does anyone know of anyone registering and also offering url redirection in the $10.00 range?

http://www.directnic.com/

http://www.000domains.com/

I use directnic and find them excellent and they do offer url forwarding for free.

directnic is $15.00 but they do offer redirection

000domains is $13.50 and as far as I know they do not offer redirection, did you think they did for some reason?

I am looking for registration and redirection in the $10.00 range.

Wasn't sure if 000domains.com offered redirection or not. They were the cheapest I knew of.

$10 or under is going to be hard to find anywhere. Let me know if you find anything.

bulkregister.com is registering names at the moment for $10/year. It's a special so I don't know if they will have those prices in the future and I couldn't find anything about redirection.

website indicates bulkregister wants a $79.00 membership to join. I don't think so! I would just use registerclub.com who are a reseller for them and charge $10.00 and charge no membership.

I am surprised that more reseller's are not offering this service especially if they also are host resellers as they probably would be first in line to sell a monthly package if and when the domain owner decides to really get serious with a site.

Gandi.net, a French company, offers domain registration together with URL re-direction and one email re-direction for Euro12.00 per annum (about US$11.00).

Service OK.

I'd like to add that Gandi.net's Registration Agreement is also very good from the domain owner's point of view... as compared with most other registrars.

I always pay close attention to a Registrar's Agreement before using their services. The first paragraph of Gandi's registration agreement starts with the statement, "The client owns the registered domain name. GANDI simply acts on the client's behalf." such an agreement only inspires confidence in us.

Their registration agreement also includes a provision wherein Gandi.net and the domain name owner agree to try to resolve any dispute between them before going to court. Gandi's regstration agreement also allows any legal action to be brought either in Paris, France or in the court where the domain name owner lives.

The only problem I have herd of with Gandi.net is their support. We have had a lot of customers transfer domains from them to us because their lack of support.

I thought disputes now had to go to Icann (not sure of spelling) whose ruling was sort of final. If the domain owner lived in some third world country it would seem impractical to sue them there. Any lawyers out there with a view on this. I would think the key is to keep names as generic as possible and avoid using any well known trademark within or as part of. I understand things like COKEsucks.com or DELLisbad.com are being shut down.

Disclaimer: the previous axamples are just that examples and I must say I like both products provided they don't have sugar in them.
