Take a random look at the domain name prices and features of several foreign domain name registrars and personal opinions.

Snail, yesterday or the day before yesterday, I saw the .COM domain name promotion event of Namesilo domain name registrar. To be honest, it is rare to see this service provider having promotion events. When I was writing the article, I saw that the current activity is still there, and the newly registered .COM domain name is $5.99, but I don’t know when the specific activity will end. I don’t have a domain name to register anyway. If you have friends who need to register, you can check it out.

Recently, most suffix domain names registered by domain name registrars in mainland China require real-name authentication. For most website users, there is nothing strange, so just send some personal information for authentication. If you don’t want certification, you can definitely only register the domain name overseas. Therefore, in this article, Snail will simply take a look at the domain name registration, transfer, and renewal prices of several overseas domain name registrars that we often follow. Of course, it also includes some personal opinions on these merchants.

PS: There is no distinction between domain name merchants. I just write whichever one comes to mind first. I have no particular preference. Like many of my friends, I will go wherever it is cheaper.

First, Namesilo

Although Namesilo domain name registrar didn’t start very early, it probably started a few years ago. So far, it only has domain name registration and some transaction services, and it does not involve hosting and other businesses. Of course, I don’t know their parent company. Are there other areas.

Namesilo gives people the impression that it is stable. Whether it is price or official promotion, you can hardly see it. For example, there are very few promotions on Black Friday every year, let alone normal times. The limited-time $5.99 newly registered domain name launched the day before yesterday is unprecedented. At least Snail rarely sees such a low-price event from their company.

The new registration price of Namesilo domain name is not very high, and renewal and transfer are similar. The so-called one-dollar discount code for new accounts is also optional. The better thing is that the privacy protection is a permanent gift, but it seems that the privacy protection cannot be forwarded. Email to our account email.

Second, Namecheap

Namecheap was originally an agent of enom, but its development to what it is today is down to persistence. Snail personally likes their online customer service. At least when I need to solve a problem a few times (sometimes to help netizens ask), their online customer service is basically online and can help solve the problem in a friendly manner, such as He said that he applied for a free SSL certificate some time ago and went directly to customer service for quick review and approval.

The price of Namecheap domain name is not very cheap for new registration or renewal, about 10+ US dollars. Even if there is a slight discount, it is still relatively small. Namecheap merchants currently do not support Alipay payment. Several charity events every year and Black Friday still have many highlights. This is of course due to the fact that merchants such as Godaddy basically have no promotional activities.

Third, Name.com

Name.com merchants are more low-key than Namesilo. You can’t see any so-called activities. You can only see some company activities on Weibo. They sometimes send out emails for promotional offers, but due to the time difference, The problem is that we are basically still sleeping, and the activities are over when we get up, so it basically has nothing to do with our Chinese webmasters.

The impression given by Name.com to Snail is that there is a free privacy protection offer for new registrations, and the transfer of .COM domain name is US$8.25. The transfer discount is quite good, and by the way, you can use privacy protection for free for the first year.

Fourth, Godaddy

Most of our netizens/webmasters at Godaddy should have used their domain names. Especially in the past few years, they were particularly arrogant. They often released promotions for newly registered domain names such as 0.99 and 1.99, which resulted in hoarding them for a while. Lots of useless domain names. I guess the root of my habit of buying, buying, buying, and wanting to buy when I see a bargain started from that time. No matter how low the activity is, it is still a waste to buy it without using it, even if it is just a few dollars.

In recent years, Godaddy merchants rarely have promotional activities. Even domain names with the previous price cannot be registered by Chinese webmasters normally. There is no promotion even on Black Friday. This has something to do with the change of management. At the same time, their The product line has also changed. It is not just games to attract new registered users. Hosts and cloud servers are also the main promotion. At present, Godaddy’s newly registered .COM domain name is about 55 yuan (tutorial). Virtual hosts and cloud hosts come with free domain names for annual payment. For example, Godaddy’s economic host comes with free domain names for 12 US dollars per year (tutorial). It can still be used for ordinary foreign trade websites. Yes, the Chinese site speed is not very good.

New registration and transfer of Godaddy domain names are okay, but renewals are relatively expensive and there are no discounts. We usually renew the domain name by transferring it out of the registrar, and then transfer it back the next year. If you don't mind the trouble, you can do this , but can save money.

To summarize, the above domain name registrars are usually paid attention to and used by Snail, as well as ENOM, DYNADOT, Domain and other merchants, but few are actually used.
