 | View Full Version : $2 .com domain special - is it ok? eldawg 08-03-2006, 10:06 AM Price wise, yes it is certainly a good deal. I have never dealt with this provider so its hard to say what type of service you'll get for the $2. lalallaalalalalal 08-03-2006, 10:09 AM thanks if i buy a domain with url masking, can the new .com domain be listed on google? since its just a forward thing? stub 08-03-2006, 12:55 PM Is this price offered as part of a hosting package? If yes, I'd suggest registering at a domain registrar and then signing up with your preferred hosting account. New domains are unlikely to be listed on google due the infamous "sandbox effect" where google penalise newly registered domains. You need to add content and hopefully in another 9-18 months google will index your domain. Maxo 08-03-2006, 01:48 PM The price for the domain name can be below $6.25 (The real fee for registration including ICANN fee) which means the Registrar is selling it at loss. If it is a part of a hosting package, I would agree with stu2 and register the domain name elsewhere, because if you cancel hosting package, you might have trouble with transfering it away to another Registrar. stub 08-04-2006, 07:45 PM are they ok? Probably not. Mike J 08-04-2006, 09:26 PM If you click their promotional banner and go through the order process, in the end it'll be $6.95 - So it's a ripoff!
