HEADS-UP: $5.99 Domains
 
.com .net .org
.info .us .name

Only $5.99

http://www.1and1.com

I can't vouch for them, but found it via a full page advertisement in this months issue of MaximumPC :)

hmm, might be worth a look. need to register a few domains soon.

does anybody have some experience with em?

jscott 08-29-2005 03:07 PM

i'll probably try it out

AgentCash 08-29-2005 03:10 PM

I've got a few there, interface is ok, but I don't see any easy way to transfer ownership without a registrar transfer. ThePlanet has $5.99 .com & .net domains as well in their Orbit control panel.

FREE Private Domain Registration - this is what makes it really kickass, 5,99$ for something that costs 20-30$ around

Sarah_Jayne 08-29-2005 03:17 PM

u-Bob 08-29-2005 03:21 PM

1and1.com NEVER EVER EVER use this company!!!!!!! I can't stress that enough. Do some serious research, and you'll find that nearly 90%+ of their customers hate them! Their domains are always $5.99, so most people think they're the cheapest (they're not - use myvaluehost.com or godaddy.com's deal), so that's why they use them. But ... this company majorly scammed me. I found some awesome domains with potentially extremely high resell values. I registered them around 2pm, and they stalled the registrations for 8+ hours before they even STARTED the process - most others I used had FINISHED the process in that time. It took them 48 hours for confirmation on any of the 6 domains I tried to register. During their "delay" someone in Panama "mysteriously" found out about both of the high-level domains and registered them. Now there is no chance on this earth that two people would want the same two un-published or un-announced domains, that were completely un-related to each other, on the same day, during the same 8-hour period. So ... I contacted the company numerous times, and got nothing but run-around. Finally I told them if they didn't investigate I would. They ignored me for 2 days, so I contacted the new registrant directly. It was all a scam. I had to threaten to take legal action, but the registrant finally cancelled his registrations and I was able to get my names back through another registrar. It was a huge SCAM. It looks like the registration went to some no-name reseller registrar or something that doesn't even have a website set up. Either they're affiliated with 1and1 or one of their employees handling the registration passed along the info while they stalled. on another note ... none of my other four registrations, done at the same time, were delayed before processing. I'm still fully investigating it, and have had to report them to my state attorney general, the FTC, FCC, BBB, and international organizations. Unfortunately for them, they picked the wrong person to scam, since I've got an amazing record of bringing down companies who think they've got the right to take advantage of "helpless" customers. Just steer clear. If these guys don't clean up their act, they won't be around long anyway.

that's nice

In his whole post he says he would NEVER use Godaddy-- look it up if you like

I saw 1and1 in PC World magazine last year...their domains have always been low-priced. I would've went with them...if only they accepted Paypal...

So i opted for namecheap.com because they do accept Paypal.

Still wish i could've gotten that price from a domain registrar that accepts Paypal. I came across one where 4 domains were totalled up to something like 23.50 USD...forgot to bookmark them though...DOH!

babydred 08-29-2005 03:53 PM

Plus, for a limited time, any new registrations and transfers to Namecheap automatically receive a FREE WhoisGuard subscription to use on any domain registered with them as well.

Jim Neil 08-29-2005 04:32 PM

I've got my domains thru them and have been getting my domains from them for some time now.

When they first started, they offered 3 years free hosting... where were all of you then! Not only the 5.99 domain, but they also give you shit loads of software for free, and other freebee's too...

Check them here:

cause they seem so mainstream and i have never heard of another else hosting adult domains with them... i'm worried that they would close the account over something stupid.. so when it comes to paysite domains, i want to keep them on namecheap (someone who a lot of programs keep their domains with)
