Is $3.99 domains at domainsarefree a scam?

[jamiesc]

I wonder how will this company provide such a cheap price. Anyone ever tried them?

Yea, I use to use them. They are a reseller company. I believe though its like 10.99 to renew the domain name the nex year. I am not sure though because I never renewed my 2 domains names I registered there.

Most of the time they only allow 1 at that price and you have to host it with them for X amt a month..
Plus once you register it with them alot seem to up the price a few months
before it's renewal time.
One site where I bought 40 domains last year sent me email a few weeks
ago saying the renewel for domains has went up from $6.95 to $13.95 per,
I politely called them and told them to Go **** Themselves and moved them all to Network Solutions.
Bottom line is "Be Careful where ya register any domain" as as you know it also costs money to move them!

I only buy my names through godaddy I have been there for several years now and have been very happy. I have never heard of domains are free but will have a look.

domainsarefree has no paypal option to pay, yeah the renewal is more expensive & u cant push it to someones account :/

I wouldnt even give them my info let alone my $

Go with a more well know/accepted registrar...

See, before I came to Namepros, I didn't know much about resellers, other companies, etc...etc...but now that I came across NP, I decided to not use DomainsAreFree just incase something ever did happen. I am not going to say anything bad against DAF just because I successfully registered 3 domains there without any problems at the price of 3.99$ Usd a year. I never renewed any of them so I am not quite sure of what the renewal rate is. The one bad thing that happened though is the no "push" availability. I would just suggest pay the extra few bucks and register somewhere else. Best of luck~

I have bought some domains in the past for approx. $4 from companies I never heard before and till now I had no problem at all!

How does one politely tell somebody to Go **** Themselves? :gl:

...and moved them all to Network Solutions.

Yikes!

Yikes!

I didn't use those exact words, I said something like the ones I didn't
move by next week the owner could park where the sun don't shine..

Just another example of people in the Bizzz with the wrong ideas on
making money and keeping customers..
But that's how things are lately, dog eat dog and screw thy neighbor
and his wife..
People have found more ways to make money on the net than raindrops
in a thunderstorm.

And Domain Registras are no different, I was going to be one for
WildWest Domains which is GoDaddys site for affils..
But they lied to me by telling me I could sell the domains for one price
and then after I paid them they said I couldn't and had to sell them
for more money..
I told them I was going to charge it back and they refunded the bucks..

That's why I'd rather pay $8.75 at Network Solutions, I know that's
what I pay for one and that's what it'll cost me to renew it next
year and they won't play any games with me.
Also I don't have to worry about it suddenly being unlocked or some
other fluke..
I don't like surprises.....................
