How to buy a domain name at the cheapest price?
If you search casually, you will find a large number of purchase tutorials on domain name service providers such as GoDaddy and NameCheap. This is very friendly to newbies. However, the routine of domain name sales is usually to attract new users with extremely low first-year purchase prices, and then increase the unit price per customer through increasing renewal prices and additional services year by year. If you are not careful, you may easily encounter a price shock when renewing your subscription in the second year.
In addition, if you want to hold a domain name stably for a long time, in addition to renewal, you also need to consider factors such as the domain name security defense, domain name transfer, and customer support of the domain name service provider. I will attach some negative information about GoDaddy at the end of the article. Friends who are interested can move to the end.
Let me talk about my personal opinion first: GoDaddy does not live up to its name, while Namecheap and Namesilo have good reputations.
Because I have registered four domain names with Namesilo and renewed them once. So, if you don’t have a better option, consider it.
1. Make sure that ICANN certification is a formal domain name registrar.
As an ordinary individual, I have had several doubts about digital assets such as domain names:
- Can any company be sold?
- Who holds the pricing power?
- If the value of the domain name is too high, will these domain name registrars take it back without authorization?
- If the domain name price is too high, will renewal be prohibited?
- …
Of course, these are usually irrelevant to us. If continuity is not a concern, then if this domain name doesn’t work, you can just register another one.
However, domain name registration is actually managed by an organization, namely ICANN, which stands for The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This is a non-profit international organization established in 1998. It is responsible for coordinating the Internet's unique identifier system and its safe and stable operation on a global scale, including the space allocation of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and the assignment of protocol identifiers. , generic top-level domain name (gTLD) and country and region top-level domain name (ccTLD) system management, as well as root server system management.
Therefore, no matter how cheap the domain name is, we'd better choose a regular domain name registrar certified by ICANN. The specific search website is as follows:

2. Namesilo’s rising star is too low-key
Among the domain name registrars that claim to be cost-effective, Namesilo stands out.
Its domain name prices are straightforward, renewals do not increase in price, and there are no tricks in sales, so it is well-known among netizens. I don’t know if it’s because of poor marketing, but I have to search carefully for soft articles online. But don’t think that Namesilo is unknown. Its parent company, NameSilo Technologies Corp., was listed on the Canadian Nasdaq Stock Exchange (CNSX) on December 2, 2021. It is also a listed company.
There are many tricks to sell domain names. When you search AA.com and see the price of $9.99, you think you can buy it. You may only find out after placing an order that you need to buy it for two years. The first year is $9.99, and the second year is $99. In addition, there are additional charges for ICANN free, domain name privacy and other fees.
It is said, just said... When some netizens used GoDaddy to check the price of a domain name, they could still buy it on the first day, but the domain name was put on sale on the second day... I can only say that some so-called big brands are able to do well in sales, not without methods.
On Namesilo, the price of the domain name is much higher, and the nominal price is what it is. The price not only includes ICANN free. It is also one of the first domain name providers to provide domain name privacy protection for free.
Of course, it is not without its shortcomings. That is, the web page for domain name backend operations is a bit out of date. It feels like a design from 20 years ago. Fortunately, the UI for domain name search query and account backend has been redesigned. There is a sense of fragmentation when using it, which once made me suspect that I had logged into the wrong website.
So, if you want to buy a domain name on Namesilo, you can use this link:

New users can use promo code: playful to save $1.
To be honest, this is all the discount Namesilo can offer, which is outrageous. I can't find a lower discount code anywhere on the internet.

3. Namesilo registration and domain name purchase tutorial
1. Register an account
Just register with your email. If you need additional information, fill it out normally.
2. Select a domain name
Enter the domain name you want. If the price is right, it is recommended to choose a familiar top-level domain name such as com/net. If you still want to renew in the second year, pay attention to the price of ren(ewal).
3. Paid purchase
Then click "checkout" to purchase. It supports UnionPay, Alipay and other payment methods, which is more friendly to Chinese users.
Below is a screenshot of me typing the wrong English and buying the wrong domain name. After using the discount, it only cost me $1.
4. Domain name resolution and DNS server modification
This part of the content will be published in conjunction with the VPS server purchase tutorial, so please wait a few more days.

Even if you don't buy a server, you can do a lot of things with CloudFlare's Worker. Friends who haven't tried it yet can refer to these articles:

- "Cloudflare Warp Preferred IP Tutorial"
- "Advanced Tutorial: Cloudflare deploys worker preferred IP"
5. About GoDaddy
These are some negative comments I saw on Zhihu. They are for your reference only and you can identify them yourself:
- DNS servers hacked multiple times
- It is suspected to be a stolen domain name, which is what I mentioned above. It was registered after a search.
- There are tricks in pricing
- It is suspected that the customer service has a sales KPI and insists on asking whether to renew.
- Support SOPA

Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at wildharborcommercegallery confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at huijax maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at hazelharbormerchantgallery added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at jalborn prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at velourudon extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.
Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at lavenderharbormerchantgallery continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.
Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at salutesyrup rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.
Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at buytrailshop reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.
Živjo vsem. Preizkusil sem že vse mogoče. Ko gre za odvajanje od alkohola — veliko ljudi se muči v tišini. Prijatelj mi je svetoval en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev. Preverite sami na povezavi: zdravljenje alkoholizma zdravljenje alkoholizma Meni so res pomagali. Prvi korak je vedno najtežji. Ampak ko enkrat najdeš pravo pomoč — življenje dobi nov smisel. Če kdo dvomi, naj kar pokliče in vpraša. Srečno na tej poti!
Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at jewbush reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at seacovecraftcollective earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at cottongrovecommercegallery added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at spectrasolo extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.
Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at florabrookvendorfoundry extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at hullgale extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at deoblob continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at rainharbormarketgallery held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Dolgo sem iskal pravo rešitev. Ko sem prvič slišal za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjev centra, sem bil skeptičen. Ampak ko sem prebral izkušnje anderen — moje mnenje se je obrnilo. Vsak dan se veliko ljudi bori s to težavo. In najhuje je, da ne poznajo dobrih možnosti zdravljenja. Zato svetujem, da si vzamete čas in preberete posodobljene podatke, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: odvisnost od alkohol odvisnost od alkohol. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.
Zdaj živim polno življenje brez alkohola. Če se soočate s podobno težavo — ne odlašajte. Vsak dan je nova priložnost.
Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at walnutharborvendorparlor kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at wildharborcommercegallery also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at dailyneedsstore extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at coralharborvendorloft extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.
Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at futurecartcorner kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at lanternorchardmerchantgallery kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at spectrasolo continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at aroarch did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.
Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at seacovecraftcollective kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.
Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at velvetbrooktradegallery extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at florabrookvendorfoundry confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at honeycovemerchantgallery kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
Že dolgo nisem vedel, kako naprej. Potem pa sem dobil pravi nasvet in vse se je začelo obračati na bolje. Govorim o odvajanju od alkohola pri Dr Vorobjevu. Veste, ni lahko, ampak se da premagati. In kar je najpomembneje – program je prilagojen posamezniku. Sam sem preveril celoten postopek in vse uradne informacije so na voljo na tej povezavi: ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma https://zdravljenjealkoholizma.com. Zdaj sem že pol leta trezen in ponosen nase.

Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at ivebump kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at cottongrovecommercegallery only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at huiyam extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at deoblob continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at rainharbormarketgallery added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at tidalurchin reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at futurecartcorner fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at steamsaunter only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.
Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at coralharborvendorloft extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at dailycartdeals only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at honeycovemerchantgallery continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.
Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at lanternorchardmerchantgallery continued that author absent quality, content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.
Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at ivebump reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.
Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at humgrain confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.
The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at velvetbrooktradegallery kept the same logical flow going, this site clearly understands that organisation is half the battle in keeping readers engaged from the first line to the last across any kind of post.
A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at aroarch extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at vocabtrifle continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at tidalurchin added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
