Acc. to iPowerWeb, they don't have an end date set as of right now
for this offer. And they also don't have a limit as to how many domains can
be registered, either; they'll just keep a close eye on performance and determine how long to continue promoting this offer.

I received my domain info, registration seems to work thru opensrs admin panel, which has always been slow for me. I can't log in any of them, it says that the login / password are incorrect, and .us hadn't been registered at all, shows available, although they charged my CC for it.... wow, wouldn't have expected much from a $2.95 registrar anyways.

They are clearly selling at a loss. Would consider this a teaser offer.

I was thinking of perhaps regging a few names but after reading your post I'm thinking nope...

Do let us know what happens please.

I'd rather go with Yahoo for cheapo domain registrations. IPowerWeb is a webhost and they're probably similar to 1&1 with their policies.

Move back to the main forum? Has become a domain name discussion.

:bah:

Just got off the phone with their support.... no1 in the domain department, had to call twice to get to someone, then waited on hold for 15 minutes, in the meanwhile a robot thanked me for calling iPower. :yell: Wasted 10 more min with the techinician who was quiet most of the time, "looking something up," now I'm on hold for another 5-6 minutes to the billing department.... tech said that I was given a wrong login details. Now, how is billing gonna help me change login info??? :yell:

Update

Well well well, I just got off the phone... I can reveal the domains now.

xbox360premium_info
xbox360premium_biz
xbox360premium_org
xbox360premium_us

The problem was that I was sent the wrong login details, and as a matter of fact .us was NOT registered, although I was sent the (wrong) login details for opensrs.....

So, the guy in the billing department said he can't do anything at first. I said that the tech told me to talk to him..... so he told me that the username that I recieved was wrong!!! wtf.... now it all works won't need ipowerweb involved anymore.
