Cheap domain names with Netfirms
Sep 21, 2010 Web and Product Reviews
For the last couple of years, I have been using Enom for purchasing most of my domain names. They are one of the bigger domain registrars out there, and they have a powerful set of tools for managing your domains.
One of the things I don’t like about Enom, though, is that their prices are a bit higher than some of the other options out there. For example, they are charging $21.97/year for a .ca domain name, which is one of the biggest rip-offs I’ve ever seen. Their .com prices are much better at $9.74 per year, but I’ve still seen some better prices.
Of course, I wasn’t using Enom to purchase .ca domain names. Only a crazy or ignorant person would do something like that. Instead, for my .ca domain names, I was using a local company called Netnation. They are selling .ca domain names for $11.95.
Well, recently, I just went through the process of purchasing another .ca domain name through Netnation, and I realized that it’s just more trouble than it’s worth. The problem for me is that they don’t accept payments through Paypal. Since I don’t have a credit card, that leaves me with just one option: cheque. The worst thing about paying them by cheque is that, even though you have gone through the process of purchasing a domain name through their shopping cart, you still have to wait for your cheque to make it to their office and then clear before the domain is actually purchased and you can use it as your own.
This week, I spent a few hours searching for the perfect company that I could use to purchase all of my domains — both .ca and .com — in place of Enom and Netnation. As a result, I believe I’ve finally found the best option for me: Netfirms.
One of the best features about Netfirms for me is that you can do all your payments through Paypal, which is about as convenient as it gets. Another thing I like is that both their .com and .ca domain names are just $9.95/year. To make things even better, at the moment, they are offering their .com domains at a 30% discount, so you can get one for $6.95! Now you’re talking!
So I am now in the process of switching to Netfirms to manage all my domain names. If you are interested in purchasing domain names at the best prices, as well, then I recommend you check them out. Just click on the banner below to see the great deals for yourself.
