$4.00 .COM registration and transfer at IONOS (Promo expired)

aelko said:

This only applies to their $1 .com promo (one domain per user).

For example, I am a new user who does not live in the US. When I add a .COM domain to my cart, ionos offers me a two-year payment:

If I change 2 years to 1 year, then I will be shown the regular price, not $1 dollar:

Residents of the United States, if they change two years to one year, will still see the price of $1

does anyone know if ionos have an afternic fast transfer confirmation option available ?

i am still not able to gain confidence to transfer my 50 odd .com domains to them, i do not know of any .com bag holder that uses them..

anyone here who have transferred over 100 .com domains there at $4 a piece ? $4 transfers are lucrative but ain't worth the uncertainty risk imo.

Also, importantly, do they have afternic fast transfer compatibility ?

any one with the answers...

Don't know much about them but yes they are afternic fast transfer compatible.

From my observation, autorenewal can't be disabled within first 24h since registration/transfer, that's why such error appears.

For billing quests use billing@

This was correct, I was able to remove auto renewal after 24-48 hours,

as of now, I see no reason IONOS isn't a worthy option. anything is better than @GoDaddy imho

Instant transfer approval is available there.
But they don't participate in Afternic network, they are Sedo sister company (under the same parents).

Sedo MLS is supported at basic level (they distribute Sedo listings).
But they are not Premium MLS partner (with automatic transfer to the buyer).

What risks exactly???
They don't steal or destroy the domains, 2FA is supported as well.

If you are talking about the promo limits - just launch their LiveChat and ask how many .COMs are allowed for $4 per 1 customer...

I asked to them.


It is important to answer all of your questions quickly and satisfactorily. We do offer .com domains for $4 for the first year then $15 after. However, this promotional offer is only applicable for new customers with a maximum limit of 10 promotional offers ordered.

Moving the domain to another IONOS account will require an advance payment for another year, our system will automatically bill the domain for an additional 1 year of the domain renewal once transferred to another account.

As per ICANN, below 60 days registered domain cannot be transferred to another provider. After 60 days, you can transfer it anywhere.

Thanks, so limit is 10 .COMs per customer.

And it really works for existent customers, because I see $4 on my checkout as well.

Regarding their internal transfers....
Yes, the gaining account will be charged for additional 1 year like in case of transfer from another registrar.

Its not a good news for me. I register 10-20 domains everyday.

I can't comment .COMs...
But with other discounted TLDs I had even XXX monthly volumes without any issues/penalties.

very basic question.. but how do I sign up with them? there's no visible option! should I click on Partner Program?

Buy something from them and you will have an account.

is the limit 10 regs+ 10 transfers? or total 10?

I guess, this is traditional March promo from Verisign...

I don't think there is 10x com cap at IONOS , i just now regged my 19th domain for $4 there. There is a time limit of 31st March though.

Registeres 1 .com for $4.00

all good so far

How much time they take for completion of orders these days ? Registered 4 domains , currently seeing again pending authorization status on my paypal.

PayPal authorizations up to 7-10 days.

so the domains will remain unregistered then ?

So I took advantage of the very good price transferring a few .co, .info, and .org.

But I cannot seem to get the $4 .com transfer deal that is mentioned in this thread.

The .com transfers keeps appearing in my cart as $10, and I remove and try again.. ad infinitum.

No.
PayPal authorization and registration are 2 separate processes.
Authorization will be deducted only after Invoice. Or cancelled.
