Last week Vikas sent an email to me sometime late in the afternoon… I am currently with OptusNet and every-time I type in your website OzBargain, it goes to eBay… Have you done something? Yes I know sometimes I uploaded half-baked scripts onto OzBargain which caused all kinds of mess, but seriously I have not [...]

COVE, a new Australian web hosting company with many not so new faces from ex-Jumba (which this blog was once hosted on many moons ago), is going to give away 2,500 free domain names next Monday (11 August 2008), via their promotional website, TheGreatDomainNameGiveAway.com.au (that domain is about as original as “OzBargain” despite being a [...]

My old host, Jumba, has launched some new services today, including their new domain reselling business. While I don’t appreciate them mocking the nerds in their front-page, I do like their prices — $24.95 for .com.au/.net.au/.id.au domains for 2 years. That is the cheapest as far as I know. Certainly cheaper than everyone on the [...]

Jumba, the web hosting company that hosts this site, is having specials through out this week! Tuesday: 50% Off Hosting for NEW Customers! Wednesday: $26.95 .au Domains!! Thursday: 10% Off Day Friday: Pink Day! Do check out the fourm for details. Also a word from Joseph that the 50% off hosting for new customers has [...]

I have not been blogging about domain deals, because, well I have not been buying domains for a while. I am certainly at a stage where I am having more domains than knowing what to do with them. However I was tempted again when I received GoDaddy‘s promotional email this morning, selling .net registration for [...]

Just then I went and tried to renew my .id.au account, and noticed that IntaServe is having a sale at the moment — .com.au or .net.au $27.95 for 2 years! That makes those domains just a tad more expensive than .id.au domains, and very very cheap in comparison with domain registrars like Melbourne IT, who [...]

I have previously blogged about Yahoo’s $2.99 domain sale and their indefinite extension, however since around end of March the $2.99 deal stopped showing up when you visit Yahoo domains. I thought, well, the cheap domain deal has finally finished. Which is not the case. Bob told me the other day that he has registered [...]

GoDaddy is having its everything 12% off sale at the moment, and that applies to every order — domains, hosting, etc. Use this coupon code between 24 and 26 March to claim the discount. gdh0324a That makes .com registration USD$7.87 + $0.25 ICANN fee. It would be more significant with hosting plans, etc.

Domain registrar Dotster is having their happy hour again today (reported from Cost Saving Network)! This is a rare opportunity (although they did the same promotion stunt a few weeks ago) to purchase a .com/.net/.org domain registration for USD 50 cents. However, the coupon code for such a cheap bargain is only available for exactly [...]

Got another spam promotional email from GoDaddy today, and they are offering 10% off for every order with the following promotion code. This offer expires February 28, 2006. gdh021281 Be sure to use that code in your cart to get special discount. I believe it is not exclusive to domains, but also hosting and other [...]

Just noted from WhatsInAName.com.au, that IntaServe is now the cheapest .au domain reseller — even cheaper than the Canadian-operated NameScout. Here are their prices: com.au $34.95 2 years net.au $34.95 2 years org.au $9.95 2 years id.au $25.00 2 years asn.au $33.00 2 years Update: Even though IntaServe is currently the cheapest .au domain registrar, [...]

Just visited the Yahoo! Small Business, and it appears that their USD$2.99 per year domain deal (for .com/.net/.org/.biz/.info/.us) has been extended to 26 January 2006 8 March 2006. Yup — that’s less than $3 per domain per year, and you can register up to 5 years. Moreover, you can also transfer your existing domains to [...]

Via Weblog Tools Collection. Missed out from previous Yahoo domain sale? The sale is apparently on again!! Yahoo Small Business Domains is now offering domain names under popular TLDs for USD$2.99 per domain per year, and Y! has generously given you the whole of Octoberthis year to make up your mind! Not as cheap as [...]

Sorry about my recent obsession with domain names. I guess it all came down to greed over “assets”, especially relatively affordable assets that give you a sense of ownership. There has been a nice comparison chart for .au domain registrars, but probably due to my lacking goolging skill, I cannot seem to find anything similar [...]

Via ThreadWatch, Yahoo Domains is now running their USD$1.99/year domain special again! And that’s after I previously blogged and paid for a $6.95+$0.50 .com domain special from GoDaddy less than 2 months ago! Aargh!! And I have not yet fully developed and publicise that .com I bought — I should have waited. :( Anyway, this [...]

Got this from GoDaddy‘s promotional email: We can’t put your name in lights, but until July 31, we can help you put your actual name on the ‘Net. You save over 40% — just $5.95!* …Be sure to use offer code gdg071930 when you order! * Plus ICANN fee of 25 cents per domain name [...]

Since my last post on .au domain comparison, which was merely less than 2 weeks ago, NameScout, the only foreign registrar approved by auDA, has updated the their price so that they are now the cheapest across the board. So, that’s the difference without paying the GST :) com.au $22.98/year NameScout net.au $22.98/year id.au $14.48/year [...]

WhatsInAName.com.au – Price Comparison of auDA Accredited Registrars. It lists all the .au registrars, their prices, and highlight the ones that are the cheapest. I used to use NameScout for my .au domains, but just realised that this Canadian company is no longer the cheapest to offer .au domains. As of today (3 July 2005), [...]

Got this from Tim: GoDaddy has $US7 offer today (30 June 2005). It’s a special offer for existing customers, but the link works: www.godaddy.com/gdshop/registrar/search.asp?isc=gdg0630b It is actually USD$6.95 per year. Too bad I don’t have any project that needs a .com domain at the moment. Edit on 6 August 2005: Just got another email from [...]
