Buying a domain

larky_starz · 03-24-2005, 03:01 AM

Can anybody tell me some good places to buy a domain name? If they accept paypal, that would be even better.

If you meant "register" a domain name, then godaddy.com or similar

it also really depends on what sort of domain you mean. Do you mean register a domain or buy one? They are two very different things....

http://www.NameCheap.com ..the best ever..my domain http://www.kwacker.com is registered with them

alegend · 03-24-2005, 06:02 PM

if you mean registering a domain, godaddy is the best

gamex · 03-24-2005, 06:11 PM

Yea, godaddy and namecheap are the best in my opinion. I use namecheap because they accept paypal. Last time I checked godaddy didnt.

Yeah as far as I know, GoDaddy doesn't use Paypal. But NameCheap does and it's always nice and easy to throw some paypal funds at your domain registrations.

swimjenni · 03-26-2005, 09:32 AM

Godaddy

majinbuu1023 · 03-26-2005, 12:47 PM

Does godaddy have a little affiliate program?no
Does Namecheap?yes

arcanehost · 03-26-2005, 02:15 PM

i use godaddy there i have about 15 domains and they accept paypal

larky_starz · 03-26-2005, 02:26 PM

Do you need to be paypal verified (have a credit card on file in paypal) in order to use either godaddy or namecheap?

**Eric** · 03-26-2005, 08:40 PM

Out of all the domain name registration companies, I would suggest GoDaddy.com. They are the best I've seen. I'm currently in the process of registering one, as soon as I find an available domain name that I want. I belive that at the moment, domains through GoDaddy.com are $8.99 a yr. something close to it. They are the best out there. Check them out, GoDaddy.com

Hope this helps.

And yes...they do accept PayPal.

I believe you do. But you can find all of that information on their website. Go check them out.

larky_starz · 03-26-2005, 09:19 PM

Thank you for your help everyone. I have now registered a domain name with GoDaddy that i kinda like. Now I just need to get the .net version (waiting for a paypal payment to come through) and then I'll get the hosting set up.

I would like to start reselling domain names soon.

Yes they have both affiliate and reseller programs. Perhaps you should visit Godaddy's website again...

Veolus · 03-27-2005, 05:19 PM

Use DomainSite.com

- Cheap and Reliable
- PayPal (No need for verified PayPal)

Also lot's of people here at NamePros use DomainSite and i'm sure of it

.X. · 03-27-2005, 08:50 PM

I've got to go with godaddy.

**Eric** · 03-27-2005, 10:08 PM

GoDaddy's the best.

larky_starz · 03-27-2005, 10:16 PM

Thank you for your feedback. I have decided that godaddy is the best at the moment.

Veolus · 03-27-2005, 10:45 PM

You have made a great choice

Virgil · 03-27-2005, 11:49 PM

Godaddy is great to begin with, good choice.

Veolus · 03-28-2005, 12:01 AM

But if your paying through PayPal you need to have a CC

That's the bad thing
