.COMs for 1EUR!

[ssamriga]

I just got an email from united-domains.de.
http://www.united-domains.de/com-domain/?partner=51?et_cid=40&et_lid=300

they have a special offer of 1EUR registration prices for first year.

Good if you want to register some .coms of which you're not sure how they'll perform parked... if they are no good, just drop them next year

Good luck on getting cheap names!

I also got that mail. But don't forget they only charge 1€ / ~1,37 US$ for the first year, from the second year on it's 12€. So remember to transfer your domains to another registrar at least two months before the renewal date!

Also their webpage is only available in German, but I made a little tutorial how to use their user-interface. So all of you who don't speak German can profit from that offer.

You can find the tutorial and additional information here:

i use their specials also occasional. but its a pain to change nameservers and to transfer domains. each time you have to fill out a fax sheet and send. but hey you get what you pay for.

I don't like such offers. I'd rather pay few miserable dollars more but I don't need to check all my domains if they need to be transfered and if they're not transfered then I need to pay alot.

These are normal registrars with static prices. I would stick with those. And also with coupons they are cheap enough :D

I was once transferring once my .eu domain out. was very easy. just sent them a fax, thats it.

there is another issue of impartance (if they did not change it). you have to transfer the domains 2 months! before expiration or you automatically extend a contract with them for another year

OK. And what few dollars doesn't change life. I'll never use companies with FISHY policy and discounts

That's great but isn't a euro worth like 12 dollars now? lol j/k. Interesting.

 

[zabijaq]

Steve :D You've made my day xD

Anyway dollar is slighly up as crude oil price dropped which is fine when You're selling domains and You live outside US.

wow. seem to be a good deal. however, change of nameserver, transfer etc has to be done through fax?

that's going to be a pain in the butt.

FAX - looks like good oldschool communication demanded by OVH.net support employees. French fries cheap support employees at monopoly internet provider loves technology. :D

 

[JohnPK]

Well, I also usually register my domains elsewhere - but when simply adding a note to my calendar that automatically reminds me to transfer the domains and then sending one fax can save me 60 bucks...why not?

btw, you can download an english .pdf of the fax-form here:

DNS can be easily changed without sending them a fax...

Good luck on getting cheap names!

How good & reliable is the service ?

How good & reliable is the service ?

I have had 15 names for one year with them, didn't use much of their services though. Answers to support questions were quite fast and clear.
But I can not give a thorough review...
