We know...wading through
tables of buyer's guide information gets tiring. So we're breaking out a list
of bargains that we think are worth your attention. Our list is getting
shorter--or perhaps we're getting more opinionated!
We recommend checking out
our lists of .com registrars and their package deals
for a more exhaustive resource...but if you're in a hurry...
How Low Can You Go
Award?
1&1 Internet
Oh come on! This is getting ridiculous! Lots of people offer free domains if you buy into their hosting packages.
But 1&1 Internet is taking it too far! For the month of May, they are giving one dot com away per customer. No charge. And their renewals are among the lowest in the cosmos too--a good two bucks less than GoDaddy's! And if you want to load up on a couple of extra hosting features, their
beginner package is $3.99 a month for a ridiculous amount of features--a blog,
RSS, phone support, 600 email accounts (IMAP, POP and Webmail, no less), 10GB
of site space...I mean, let's get serious here! All that for fifty bucks a
year, including the domain? Are you making any money for yourselves at all
there, guys?

Best mix-and-match
hosting package
(from
an ICANN-accredited registrar)
GoDaddy
GoDaddy is the standard bearer of the low-cost domain revolution. It
provides bare-bones domain offerings for a moving-target of a price
(depending on daily offers, it could cost anywhere from $6.99 to $9.99 for a
year's registration). But look at what it offers! Credits with your
registration for e-mail, blogs, photos, and lots of handy
"trade-up" features when you're ready to add on.

Best barebones
package (ICANN-accredited)
directNIC.com
Fifteen bucks gets you a domain with ad-supported
hosting and e-mail forwarding. Unless you want URL forwarding--which is
another free option. Add $15 more and you can take the ads off your Web site.
Add a tenner for POP3 mail...and keep tweaking until you have exactly what
you want.
