Country specific domain name registering?

[cwinhall]

Hi all,

New here to this forum and I've been doing some reading on domain name flipping and the idea has really intrigued and inspired me, specifically domain hacks.

This is where my question lies -

How do you go about registering these domain names if your living outside of the country that you want to register with?

I looked at some and have seen that some of them are as much as £2500 p.a for a domain? Surely this can't be right?

Any guidance would be appreciatted!

Colin.

Many extensions are now unrestricted if that is what you mean.

Which extension ? Premium .tv domains perhaps ?

i need to buy a namibian domain (.na) and it is apparently going to set me back NAM$ 28 500?

Accredited registrars for .na

I haven't checked all registrars but .na at the second level seems to be expensive indeed.

As a newbie can you tell me how it possible that this can cost so much?

How is a namibian business meant to afford a domain name at these prices?

If you are a Namibian resident or local company the pricing is much more favorable than for foreigners. If you go with .co.na instead of .na it's even more affordable.
