The price you paid for you first domain?

deet · 08-15-2005, 01:04 PM

I remember when I paid $30 for my first domain name through network solutions. It was blessedbeyondmeasure.com I no longer own the domain. seems kinda high now. But I am certain that some of you paid much higher.
So my question is, how much was your first domain name? and where was it registered?

domain.addict · 08-15-2005, 01:08 PM

$9.20 Godaddy lol.

Zeeble · 08-15-2005, 01:09 PM

$8.88 NameCheap.com.

DotUSDomains · 08-15-2005, 01:09 PM

Also got uktooman.com £8.99 same place.

I paid $100 for each of my first domains through Network Solutions, for a two year registration. This was when NetSol was the only registrar in town.

Rerun · 08-15-2005, 01:26 PM

$10

Stephen · 08-15-2005, 01:26 PM

I think it was about $15. Sent in a money order, as PayPal wasn't huge then.

Same here, at good old NSI times back in 1996 I spend for a few domains thousands of my hard earned bucks.
Today, fortunately, they are at 10% of that cost

JMJ · 08-15-2005, 01:29 PM

$35

**Mark** · 08-15-2005, 01:37 PM

I think I came in with the 70$ for two years deal .... or maybe it was 70$ for one year ?? - Either way - They were way too high

worldstar · 08-15-2005, 07:21 PM

Quite low for me, about $9!

Blackshear · 08-15-2005, 07:29 PM

9 dollars and some change @ Godaddy... been using 1and1.com lately though, it's like 6 or 7 dollars there.

Xcel · 08-15-2005, 07:52 PM

I think it was US $119 through alldomains.com , the worst thing was I never even got the domain

I had to pay by bank cheque as I was too young for a CC and after a month i still hadnt heard anything so I was emailing them asking about it and a couple of weeks later got told the domain had now been taken and to pick another one, when chose another one, nothing happened again , after 10-20 emails and a couple of months I ended up 100 bucks out of pocket and with no domain !
damn that was a few years back, still p*sses me off

**Gene** · 08-15-2005, 08:10 PM

$35 at NetworkSolutions (aka theworstcompanyiveeverdonebusinesswith) when they had the monopoly.

AdoptableDomains · 08-15-2005, 09:42 PM

Initially $100 for 2 years at NSI when they had the monopoly, then later at $70/2 years when prices dropped.

I then remember finding a site called discountdomainregistry.com that was one of the cheapest on the net at $14.99/year, and a Tucows openSRS reseller. At the time they were super with about the only site that offered free parking, forwarding, email, etc. I think joker.com was cheaper at the time by a buck or so, but I didn't like the idea of German law stated in their registry agreement.

Later, I found godaddy and moved about 100 names there at I think about $10...only to find out they still had a hefty transfer fee if you sold a name. I then moved on to registerfly and enom when prices dropped below the $9 level.

primacomputer · 08-16-2005, 02:58 AM

I bought my first domain for $regfee. Unfortunately that was 100 bux.

SaN-DeeP · 08-16-2005, 03:21 AM

it was 13.9 US $ with directi

Tippy · 08-16-2005, 03:30 AM

$10 at 10-Domains.com

I wouldnt use them now if my life depended on it... they suck, I still have one name there but not for long.

I paid $35 for my first .com domain, over at register.com many years ago. Definately a good thing that prices have come down, wouldd be a little expensive to renew all 60+ domains I have today if the prices still were the same

NickRac · 08-16-2005, 08:53 AM

Spent $15 at Dotster.com for my first - $12 renewal

That was back in 2001 when I regged my first...that domain is currently pending delete...

daze · 08-16-2005, 09:05 AM

$100 for 2 years (when 2 yr minimum was required), back in 1996.

**mellowmasher** · 08-16-2005, 09:28 AM

Godaddy prices before I found out about discount codes

hitman · 08-16-2005, 09:34 AM

$8 for me

deet · 08-16-2005, 10:10 AM

Wide rage of prices listed. Good to see

tansks · 08-17-2005, 07:38 AM
