Well, today i buy 4 domains, com net org and info.
I know i have get a little better price of the com with resellone.net but no funds in them, then i go other route.
com 6.99 in domainsite.com
net 5.99 in dynadot bulk (can be 5.75 in internet.bs)
org 5.99 in dynadot bulk, normal 6.99 in dynadot
info 1.19 godaddy without coupon
Damn, have a business, and be a domainer is expensive in the long run

There is only one thing which really counts when buying an important domain for your business and that is quality, while most would say ; its only a domain, what is the difference ?
Of you read around on this forum you will find many people who lost their important business domain because they did go into business with the wrong domain partner.
Not to say that cheap needs to be bad, but make sure you make the right choices in with who you partner with.
Also it's often better to have one good partner as many different companies which can make the administrative part quite a bit more work and its not like someone earns a lot on the domain names to spend many ours on administrative tasks. (with 4 domains thats okay, but when you get over a few hundred things start to change).
Hope this advise will help you making a wise choice in your domain provider.

Thanks for the advise. Normally I write too here, and normally i buy at the cheaper prices and consolidate two months later in other place (non important go to stargate or resellone, importants to moniker mainly).
I agree with your points, but in mexico/sudamerican we have less adquisite power than EU, mexico have now a devaluation (30% last month) and i am trying to get every penny for the first two month risk.

Obviously everything has a price tag, and everyone has a budget, there is no shame in trying to get the cheapest deal out there; we all do. But what i tried to make clear is that a higher price does not mean to be a more expensive price on the long run.
always look at what your needs are and what your budget is, and try to get the best deal for you.
Wish you all the best in finding this/these registrar(s).

Thats quite a amount of domains, and obviously every dollar saved on the domain would be good money in the end; as long you can manage them easy (i.e. a nameserver change for all these domains can be done in just a few clicks) its not a problem in the long run, but if you will need to go and edit all these domains by hand, it gets a bit frustrating ;) well at least for me it would be :D

When you have experience in this, it's easier to distingish between bad companies and good companies.
I had about 200 domains at registerfly for their offers, they had a decent service, but around january 2007 some problems started to appear at them, i quickly transfered my domains away, so when the registerfly fiasco exploded around april i had all my domains away.
If you have only one domain and are not up to date to whatever is happening in this market you are seriously risking your domain.
Also, he is registering the domains at domainsite.com, that seems to be (today) a reputable company with decent support.
There are sometimes other offers from some cheapunknowndomainreseller.com and i don't buy them, even if it's really really cheap.
A good combination of good offers + reputable companies works and save lot of money if you move hundreds of domains.

Ohhh yeah. Google first the registrar name too.
( by the way i had in regiosterfly a lot of domains with the stormapay stormclix, then my 100-200 domains i had with them in the january month, must was free. The last 11 was the PITA, but thanks to moniker rescued in time. (2 of them are part of the legal matter i write some threads ago)
