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:
- "Basic Tutorial: Cloudflare Warp Registration and Use"
- "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

Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at qivzaro added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at momentumchannel confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at mallowmorel confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at muralmend reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at strategybuildsresults confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at ampblip extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at directionturnsmotion confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at strategyactivation kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at visionactionloop kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.
Воронеж, всем привет Брат снова сорвался Дети напуганы В больницу тащить страшно Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — прокапаться от алкоголя цены приемлемые Поставили капельницу с детоксикационным раствором В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — прокапаться от алкоголя воронеж прокапаться от алкоголя воронеж Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации
Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at ranchomen fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at nectarmocha produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.
Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at momentumchannel continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.
I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after stylerivo I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at aerobound kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at bowclub pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at burlauras reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.

Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at deanclip continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at privetplain adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

Люди подскажите Отец не встаёт с дивана Соседи стучат в стену Нужна профессиональная помощь на дому Короче, спасла только капельница — капельница от запоя цена доступная Через пару часов человек пришёл в себя В общем, не потеряйте контакты — прокапаться на дому воронеж https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-znf.ru Капельница — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации
A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at qunvero produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.
Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at actioncompass extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at visionactionloop confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at dewchase extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at strategyplanner pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.
Without comparing too aggressively to other sources this one stands out for the right reasons, and a look at nectarmocha continued that distinctive quality, content that distinguishes itself through substance rather than style tricks is content with lasting differentiation and this site has clearly chosen substance based differentiation as its core editorial strategy.
Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after bazariox I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.
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 aerobound 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.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at stylerivo provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at lomqiro added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
Здорова, народ Ситуация критическая Дети напуганы Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, только капельница реально спасла — капельница от запоя на дому круглосуточно Через пару часов человек пришёл в себя В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — прокапаться на дому https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-bqi.ru Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации
If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at ranchomen reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.
Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after deanclip those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.
Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at focusdrivenexecution kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.
Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at ardenbeach kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at markpillow extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at visionprogression 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.
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at actioncompass kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.
Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at directionalthinking continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.
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 muralpastry 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.
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at qunvero extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at progressigniter 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.
A piece that did not try to be timeless and ended up reading as durable anyway, and a look at pianoloud extended that durable feel, content that stays useful past its publication date without straining for permanence is content that ages well and this site has the kind of evergreen quality that I value highly today.
Доброго времени суток Отец не выходит из штопора Дети напуганы Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, единственное что вытащило из запоя — капельница от запоя с витаминами и препаратами Приехали через 40 минут В общем, телефон и цены тут — сделать капельницу от похмелья сделать капельницу от похмелья Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at bazariox extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.
Доброго дня, земляки А на работу через пару часов Рассол уже не лезет Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — капельница от похмелья на дому срочно Вернулся к жизни В общем, телефон и цены тут — капельница от алкоголя на дому самара https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-lmr.ru Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации
Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after strategyplanner I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.
