Where is the best/more profitable place to register and renew domains?

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.

Let's talk about them shady registrars that charge a penny for registration and then hit ya with a fifty-dollar renewal bill. That's like buyin' a car for a dollar and then findin' out the insurance is gonna cost ya an arm and a leg. Ain't nobody got time for that, right?

Now, you mentioned Beget, and that's a fine choice. They offer some pretty decent prices, especially if you're lookin' to register a .de domain. Five bucks for registration and ten for renewal, that's not a bad deal at all. Plus, they got that tiered pricing system, where the more domains you got with 'em, the cheaper it gets. That's like buyin' in bulk, ya know? The more you got, the more they wanna give ya a discount.

But Beget ain't the only game in town. There's plenty of other registrars out there offerin' competitive prices. Namecheap, for instance, they're known for their low-cost domains. They got a lot of TLDs (that's domain speak for top-level domains) goin' for as low as a buck or two for the first year. And their renewal prices, they ain't too shabby neither.

Then there's Google Domains. Now, they might not be the cheapest out there, but they offer some real nice features, like easy integration with Google Workspace (that's Gmail and all them other Google apps). Plus, their prices are pretty consistent across the board, so you ain't gonna get hit with no nasty surprises when it comes time to renew.

Another one you might wanna consider is Hover. They're known for their user-friendly interface and their commitment to privacy. They don't charge no hidden fees, and their prices are pretty competitive too. Plus, they got a neat little feature where you can buy a domain and then park it there for free until you're ready to use it.

Now, here's a tip for ya. Always, always check the renewal prices before you buy. Some registrars, they'll lure ya in with a cheap registration price, but then they'll hit ya with a sky-high renewal fee. That's like buyin' a house for a dollar, only to find out the property taxes are through the roof.

Also, don't forget to check the domain transfer policies. Some registrars make it real easy to transfer your domains elsewhere if you wanna switch. Others, well, they make it a real pain. You don't wanna be stuck with a registrar just 'cause it's a hassle to leave, right?

Always do your research. Read them reviews, check them prices, and make sure you're gettin' the best deal. There's plenty of registrar comparison tools out there that can help ya with that. Just remember, the cheapest ain't always the best, and the best ain't always the cheapest. It's all about findin' that sweet spot, ya know?
Happy domain huntin', and remember, with great domain power comes great domain responsibility. Don't go snappin' up every domain you see, or you'll end up with a portfolio full of digital tumbleweeds.
