Yahoo Domains $1.99 Deal
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 is an offer that should not be missed, and it will expire on 2 September 2005 PST time. Also, this offer is limited to new customers only, and you can only get one domain at that price. I have just registered another domain for 2 years — another .net this time. I think I will put that on the market (hint: a <6 character>.net domain with ‘blog’ in it)…
One advantage Yahoo Domains has over GoDaddy, besides much less advertisement along the registration process, is that Yahoo comes with a DNS management system, whereas GoDaddy only allows you to edit the name servers. The first thing I do after a domain registration is usually changing NS to EveryDNS (a free DNS provider highly recommended) anyway, but others might find it useful.
