I really ought to become an affiliate of GoDaddy too, as I keep referring people there for the best bargains on domain registrations. There is the matter of resisting all the extras they want to slip in with your order,.but if you can be strong and stick to just what you are prepared to pay for, you’ll get some decent deals.
I can recall when I first learned about domain registration in 1999 and it cost over $70/year! Yes, really! Now mine all all under $10 at GoDaddy, and get this, yesterday I registered a domain for a client at GoDaddy, thinking it would be a mere $1.99 US like last time I checked, and guess what - it was only 99 cents!
Yes, it’s possible to have a registered domain - if you’ll settle for a .info - at just 99 cents for the first year! (It may be a February only thing).
Warning: If you accept their default setting for 2 yr at checkout you’ll pay over $11. (Meaning, .99 the first year and $10 the second). Just change that back to 1 year, and go for .99 now, and see if they don’t have another special on next year.
If your site does well and makes you money, then next year buy up your domain name in other extensions like .com, or .org, or whatever. Make this first one a re-direct site that turns traffic to the newer one.
