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.

If anyone finds it, please let me know in the comments via private message.

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:

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

Okay, after reading this, if you find it useful, please click on the ad. It’s not easy to write.

  1. Здравствуйте, родители А домашние задания — это вообще ад Ребёнок к вечеру как выжатый лимон Короче, реально крутая система — онлайн класс с 1 по 11 класс Уроки в комфортное время В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — Переходите на нормальное обучение Перешлите другим родителям

  2. A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at kivmora continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.

  3. I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at pansyoboe added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.

  4. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at claritydrive extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  5. Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at vanlizo extended that gentle reset, content that provides genuine refreshment rather than just distraction during work breaks is content with a particular kind of utility and this site fits that role for me reliably during work days.

  6. A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at tavlizo continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.

  7. Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at mivqaro kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.

  8. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at zalqino maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  9. Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at dabbyrd 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.

  10. Всем привет родители Двойки замечания вечные Ребёнок перегружен Короче, школа где ребёнку комфортно — онлайн школа Москва без стресса Учителя настоящие профи В общем, там программа и условия — онлайн класс онлайн класс Переходите на дистанционное обучение Перешлите другим родителям

  11. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at ploverpatio suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  12. Здорова родители Домашка на весь вечер Ребёнок раздражённый Короче, школа без стресса и скандалов — онлайн школа Москва с любого возраста Аттестат настоящий В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — ломоносов скул онлайн https://shkola-onlajn-wqe.ru Хватит мучить себя и ребёнка Перешлите другим родителям

  13. A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at quaymicro continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.

  14. Мамы и папы всем привет Вечные двойки и тройки в дневнике Никакого интереса к учёбе Короче, нашли крутую альтернативу — школа дистанционно без стресса и нервов Никаких звонков и перемен В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — ломоносова скул https://shkola-onlajn-nvc.ru Переходите на дистант нормальный Перешлите другим родителям

  15. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at onionoval pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  16. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at kivmora added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.

  17. Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to vanlizo kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.

  18. This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked tavlizo I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

  19. Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after qalmizo I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

  20. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at dabbyrd furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  21. Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at mivqaro extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.

  22. Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at claritydrive 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.

  23. Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at zalqino similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

  24. Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at directionalvision reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.

  25. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at lemonode confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  26. Felt like the post had been edited rather than just drafted and published, and a stop at trendzaro suggested the same care across the site, the difference between edited and unedited content is enormous for the reader and this site has clearly invested in the editing pass that most blogs skip entirely which really does show up.

  27. Found the rhythm of the prose particularly enjoyable on this read through, and a look at qalmizo kept that musical quality going across the related pages, sentence rhythm is something most blog writers ignore but it makes a real difference in how content lands with the careful reader who cares.

  28. Всем привет родители Домашка до ночи Вечно больной и уставший Короче, школа где ребёнку комфортно — школа онлайн с государственным аттестатом Аттестат настоящий как в обычной школе В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — школы с онлайн обучением 8 класс https://shkola-onlajn-zup.ru Переходите на дистанционное обучение Перешлите другим родителям

  29. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to pantheroffer confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  30. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at directionalvision extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

  31. Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at ploverpatio continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  32. Слушайте кто ищет школу Замучились мы с этой обычной школой А знаний реальных ноль Короче, реально крутая система — школа дистанционно с индивидуальным подходом Никаких сборов в 8 утра В общем, сохраняйте себе — Не мучайте себя и детей Перешлите другим родителям

  33. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at lemonode kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  34. Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at quaymicro confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  35. Всем привет Ребёнок уставший, не высыпается А эти бесконечные поборы Короче, единственная школа где кайфово учиться — школа дистанционно с лицензией Учителя настоящие профи В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — онлайн школа для ребенка 1 класс https://shkola-onlajn-dyk.ru Переходите на нормальное обучение Перешлите другим родителям

  36. Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at tavmixo maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.

  37. Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at vanqiro continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.

  38. Народ у кого дети в школе Вечные двойки и тройки в дневнике Нервный как спичка Короче, единственная школа которая работает — школа дистанционно без стресса и нервов Преподаватели профи В общем, там программа и условия — онлайн школа ломоносов онлайн школа ломоносов Хватит мучить себя и ребёнка Перешлите другим родителям

  39. Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at operalucid extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.

  40. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at trendzaro suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  41. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at danebase maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  42. After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at modluma continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.

  43. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at zarqiro pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  44. A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at clarityoperations continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.

  45. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to pantheroffer confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  46. Кто устал от обычной школы Двойки замечания вечные Ребёнок перегружен Короче, школа где ребёнку комфортно — школа онлайн с государственным аттестатом Учителя настоящие профи В общем, там программа и условия — онлайн класс онлайн класс Не мучайте себя и детей Перешлите другим родителям

  47. Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at qalnexo extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.

  48. Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at tavmixo maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.

  49. I?m impressed, I must say. Really not often do I encounter a weblog that?s each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you have got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is something that not sufficient people are talking intelligently about. I’m very pleased that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

  50. Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at vanqiro continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
