.T<\/span>hose of us who design websites for a living, registering for a domain name is old hat. We\u2019ve done it so many times we don\u2019t think anything of it. But for those who have never done it, especially those who feel they are not tech savvy, it can be a daunting task. It needn\u2019t be. I basically use one of 3 registrars, and my decision usually comes down to who is offering the best deal or discounts.<\/p>\n Sure, there are those of you who swear by this registrar or that one. But quite honestly, as far as I\u2019m concerned, they\u2019re all basically the same. They do what they\u2019re supposed to do. They register your domain so you can point it to your hosting company\u2019s nameservers. Now there are nuances between each of them. Some are easier to use. Some try a lot more upselling. Some are cheaper. But at the end of the day, you tell them where you want your domain to point and they point it there. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n Here is a quick breakdown of the registrars I use and why.<\/p>\n This is my new preferred registrar choice when I can\u2019t find a deal at the other ones. On a day-to-day basis, this one is the cheapest (and you can use the coupon code DiviDudeWeb16<\/strong> to take an extra $1.00 off \u2026 hey, every buck counts, right?). It comes with free WHOIS privacy (but be sure to toggle down the box when registering to get it).\u00a0 Get one of the lowest prices in domain registering here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Typical cost for a .com domain: $8.99 (other extensions vary in price)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Name Silo”]<\/a>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text admin_label=”COPY” _builder_version=”4.0.9″ z_index_tablet=”500″ text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n The word \u201ccheap\u201d is in the title, so one would expect it to be inexpensive. And it is. Not quite as cheap as Name Silo<\/a>, but pretty decent. Before I started using Name Silo<\/a>, Name Cheap was my go to registrar<\/a>. I still have more personal and client domains registered with them than any other registrar, and when it comes time to renew them I will probably stay with them (doesn’t seem worth the hassle of transferring them off to save a buck or two).\u00a0 It comes with free WHOIS privacy.\u00a0 Get one of the top, easiest to use domain registrars here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Typical cost for a .com domain: $10.98 (other extensions vary in price)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Name Cheap” _builder_version=”4.0.9″ text_orientation=”center”]<\/a>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text admin_label=”COPY” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ hover_enabled=”0″ z_index_tablet=”500″ text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n They are by far the most famous of all registrars. Tasteless SuperBowl commercials<\/a> for a number of years will do that for you. So will videos of Big Game Hunting<\/a> (you know, elephants). I very rarely use them, but still have clients who do. You can usually find a good deal with them for first time registrations, but it seems like the constant upselling on the site gets really tiresome. Plus, I have a difficult time navigating the admin section. If I register a client on GoDaddy, I seem to transfer them off the next time it\u2019s time to renew. But hey, some people want to go with the biggest or most famous, and who am I to argue with them. They are a rock steady registrar and every domain I\u2019ve ever registered on them (even my clients’ current ones) have always been correctly configured. So there\u2019s that. They offer WHOIS privacy for an extra $7.99 to $9.99 per year.<\/p>\n Typical cost for a .com domain: $14.99 ($11.99 first year) (other extensions vary in price)<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” area=”ca-sidebar-4024″ _builder_version=”4.0.9″ header_font_size=”18px” body_line_height=”1.4em” remove_border=”off”]Name Silo<\/a><\/h2>\n
