[user-7256]

Anybody used www.NetFirms.com for domain registrations? They have a nice promo on right now though! $4.95! W00T!

Should I or shouldn't I... that is the question...

I would be wary of a company selling at a loss

You mean almost all of them???

Fact is, after all fixed costs are allocated (attributed) and variable costs are added to the actual "cost" of the domain to the registrar, almost all domain sales are at a loss.

The goal of the registrar is for you to buy other services from the same place you have your domains registered, and to sell the domains to folks who might not be at the registrar currently so create an account there in order to accept the free push.

It is true I would be a little cautious around deals that "look to good to be true", however.

Also, if anyone does use netfirms, take a second to fill out a review here: http://www.namepros.com/registerindex.php?detail=106

Thanks,

I was just keeping in mind that registrars pay $6 to Verisign for .com and $5.50 for .net. Anything above is the margin. Granted, the margin may be low and cut by other costs but at least there is a margin...
