Let's talk about domain registrars that offer better deals on buying and renewing domain names. My point is that the domain's purchase price should be close to its renewal price, rather than those who charge $1 for the domain and almost $50 for renewal. Personally, I prefer Beget as it offers relatively low prices - $5 for registration in the .de zone and $10 for renewal.

Their advantage lies in reducing the cost of registration and renewal based on the number of domains you have already registered with them. For instance, if you have between 11 and 100 domains registered, the cost goes down to $3 per registration and renewal. It's always wise to do your research before making a decision on which registrar to go with.

When it comes to saving money on domain renewal, it depends on the domain zone and the benefit you want to achieve. Usually, renewal is only cost-effective for the first year.

Personally, I prefer to register domains with trustworthy providers like 2domains, a hosting provider, and all other zones with inwx. Over time, I've learned that it's not worth going after cheap domains if reliability is an issue.

While the cost of one website may not matter, if you have multiple sites, it would be wise to consider why you should pay more. In my experience, I've had several domains with 2domains and was happy with the prices, although they did eventually increase.

Recently, I switched one site to reg for free SSL for a year, but now that the year is ending, I'll have to pay for both the certificate and domain renewal. If it weren't for the certificate, I wouldn't even bother renewing the domain for $10. However, overall it's still a little expensive for just one site. It's worth taking the time to think through your options.

If you want a reliable domain name, it's best to avoid zones where cheap domains are available. For instance, you should steer clear of domain zones that offer free domains, such as tk-Tokelau. Such domains are usually utilized for doorway sites or link spam, which don't provide any useful information to users.

It's important to note that a domain name comes at a cost. Generally, popular domain zones charge around $10 per year, and many services offer discounts for first-time users. However, it's essential to keep in mind that you can't own a domain forever since ICANN ultimately owns all domains. Instead, you rent a domain name for a specific period and then renew it when necessary.

There are several intermediaries of ICANN that register and support domains for clients. Some of the most popular ones include WebNames, Go Daddy, Sedo.com, and Namecheap. It's best to research and choose a reputable service provider that meets your specific needs.
