looking for a reliable cheap registar for some bulk orders. yahoo offering domains for $2.99 a pop. is there a catch?

BoyAlley · 02-01-2006, 12:52 AM

I absolutely hate and despise Yahoo's domain manager. LAWD I couldn't imagine dealing with bulk numbers of domains with the damn thing.

Register a couple and see how frustrated you get with it.

must be a catch

KrisKross · 02-01-2006, 01:08 AM

Based on the fine print, it sounds like you can only register one at that price.

LiveDose · 02-01-2006, 01:10 AM

It's a loss leader so there must be some catch.

They've been offering the $2.99 special for months now with NO CATCH!
However, the LATEST offer has a bit of a catch..you must be a "NEW" customer (if you've registered with them before..you can't get the $2.99). And even if you are "new"..you can only register ONE at $2.99 (so if you have a bunch...get ready to make a LOT of alias accounts.)

They don't track it my credit card number or registration information? Just by account?

looks like yahoo is out of the question. looking to pickup 500+ domains as cheaply as possible, but not with some shady registar i never heard of.

BluMedia · 02-01-2006, 02:45 AM

There is a catch Yahoo is a piece of shit when it comes to customer service. I don't care if they paid me 7.00 a domain I would never ever consider it.

Remember you get what you pay for so the cheapest is not always the best. We use http://www.directnic.com, it is 15.00 a domain and they do have bulk discounts. The best part is everything about them is top notch.

ICQ me, I think with 500 I can get a kick ass deal with a well known registrar. I'm just checking a few things to confirm.

ok, looks like they are going to be $6.75 a domain.

GoNe · 02-01-2006, 03:15 AM

Yahoo sucks!! Got myself a domain with them like a month ago and I havent been able to use it yet beacuse I am not able to change dns info for some strange reason.

B-Eazy · 02-01-2006, 03:32 AM

I just took advantage of that deal with yahoo. The backend is not so bad but I was looking around inside how to manage my domains and add more so you might be right that you have to creat additional accounts but I will let you guys know because I will try to buy another domain from them tomorrow or the next day.

Also directnic.com is money. I have been with them for several years and and never 1 problem. Customer service is great and just so user friendly inside the backend. A++
