Hello

Any of you used them ?
6.99 dollars com domain
Never saw cheaper ...
Any catch ?

Thank you

They're losing money on every domain at that price. So unless they have big pockets, I don't think that offer will last long.

Hi,

Sound very cheap there is nothing much you need to think on that, because the registration is going to be a annual process.

I think you should go for it.

Thank you.

I would do as my research as possible on namedeal. I just did an immediate search and not a lot relevant information for a company that has been in business since 2004 (according to the dates on their website). Also, I chose their "about us" link and really only shows testimonials and yada yada, but nothing about them as a company that you would expect when click the about us link.

If you have a domain name that you don't mind losing, then surely give it a try and let us know.

I know when name.com sold at a loss at one time, but at least they had some information about who they were and such that you could maybe try them out with a little trust.

namedeal's website looks so canned and nothing about it says "unique". The same pictures that many other sites are using, the same lady with a headset on that other sites are using.... the only it seems they took to change were font colors.

Just my .02's.

hi, I found namedeal since two or three week cause I have to transfer all my business domain name to an other registrar. Domain name on godaddy are 11 or 12$ so i found namedeal with 7,49$ domain name. When you have a lot of domain name the price is to concider.

My experience,
support by chat is good, always somebody to give support.
Buying a domain name and less than 30min after you got it into your admin panel.

When you transfer domain name ... THAT SUCKS A LOT!
Nothing is automated, you have to ask and wait for all.
-The «renewal date» of the domain stay the same as the «transfer date» wich is not the same. you have to ask them to update manualy the status.

-When a domain is transfered, before it come green (able to manage) you have to contact them to update the status again. If not, your domain stay in «pending» and you wait like a stupid guy after your domain becoming active.

-The admin panel for the domain allow you nothing except changing DNS and unlock your domain. If you want an advenced panel (that allow not very much) you have to request it FOR EACH DOMAIN and after 4-5 days they send you a link. Compare with Godaddy panel that you can do and manage every aspect of your domain (A name, record, name server, etc...)

you have to request almost everything by ticket support ans again...you have to wait for.

Just for the «non-instant and/or non-automated» part of their services, I will probably transfer to an other registrar...maybe godaddy that is much expensive, but you where i have all tool I need and all process are fast and automated.

also, I'm not sure at this time if I want to place all my customers domain name in their hands...

maybe give a try to 1&1 for domain name

hope that help you with my experience.

Stay away from 1and1. Just do a search on these forums.

[levesquese]

What do u suggest? Godady or something else?

[SiberForum]

It is new name as for me. I suppose you can do some search for their review first to make sure.
Also you can contact them and ask why their prices are cheap and which prices would you have for domain name renewal etc.

[Asyati]

Name.com and namecheap.com
Those are the best - clean honest clear
They do not store you credit card info - unless you want
prices are good
find copouns here
retailmenot.com

[stub]

name.com, namecheap.com, dynadot.com are my current favorites.

[coderiser]

make sure the renewal isnt something like $20/yr because many registrars will get you in at a low price and then raise it on you.

[humawebdesign]

cheaper not good from all the ways. It may be good for your pocket but not for business point of view.

[billaa]

Better to don't go with cheap things, if someone had good experience then it is ok. You have to add just $2 or $3 more to get a domain from best providers.

[aditd]

I also suggest name.com - more then ok.
If you want cheaper go to joker.com. With a reseller account you can get to 6$ / domain.
