Domain Name Registration – Beware

Beware – companies use Domain Name Registration as bait for add-on services like web hosting, enhanced email and private registration. Don’t take the bait unless you really need these add-ons, as it will raise your registration costs significantly. Typically, the $10/yr plan is all you need. We have been using GoDaddy for a few years, and they have provided consistently good service. They also have an easy-to-use backend administration section.

If you order a domain from GoDaddy, make sure to skip to checkout as soon as possible during the purchasing process. Because, just like all other registrars – they will try to sell you everything under the sun related to your new domain.
