Of course there are other providers, godaddy is an example but obviously they are not as efficient as snap/pool/clubdrop.
Anyway, $30 is just 4 times the reg fee. Why waste your time on domains that are not even worth $60 ? :imho:
I would just move on, quality is better than quantity anyway
BTW there are good, valuable names to be found in the drop lists or in the available domains section of this forum and they can be had for reg fee :hehe:
