The truth about $1 domain

[Kane]

If you head over to a domain registrar, you will find that a lot of domains can be registered for just $1, and a lot of domains can be registered for less than $3. For instance, you can register dot xyz for $1, dot shop for $1.78, dot quest for $1.79. However, if you check the renewal fees for these domains, you will find that they have high renewal fees. For instance, you need to pay $10 to renew dot xyz domain.

This is because 1 $ is a promotional offer to try their service and after you are guaranteed as a stable client or they guarantee you will stay use their service for a regular period of time they will be back to the original price so nothing strange as simple as that.

Well, a promotional is good for someone at the time. I mean, a lot of us have gone thru times where we are short on money. However, I guess some people get the mistaken notion that you would pay $1 every year for the domain.

Anyway, somebody wanting something free forever should try a freenom domain like .tk, .ml, .cf etc..
