Register A Domain For $35 A Year. Forward That Domain For Only $49 More!

Retro Domain Registration Prices and Domain Forwarding Fleecing Shock Internet Consultant!

On one forum yesterday, a visitor was looking for advice for domain registration, hosting, and forwarding. In the course of trying to help them, I went to www.Register.com to confirm something they said. They indicated that they were being charged a fee for forwarding a domain to their main domain. Since I had never heard of this, I doubted it was true. I couldn't find information about that easily, although I did receive a shock that they were charging $35 a year for domain registration! Since we all know the cost of a domain registration to a registrar is $6.00, I expect to see prices anywhere from $6.99 (www.Domainsite.com) to $15.00 (www.DirectNIC.com. With $9.00 ($8.88 at www.Namecheap.com ) being about average.

So I called www.register.com to ask about this and they did confirm that they charge $49.00 a year to forward domains. When I expressed my shock at this I was told that if someone paid for about 5 years of registration that they would forward it for free, or forward it with ads displayed.

Heck, I don't know, www.Register.com may be the best registrar around, but I still don't see how people can pay those kinds of prices today unless they are clueless or uncaring. So I thought I should post some kind of warning in hopes that people find it and void wasting their money on register.com's domain registration and domain forwarding service.

I use the other domain registrars mentioned above, and none of those links are affiliate links. I prefer www.Namecheap.com these days partly because the have a domain sales marketplace and provide free hidden WHOIS security with domain purchases.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions about domain registrations and hosting.
