The Best Places to Buy Domain Names

So you want to buy a domain name, great that’s the first step.  Now you just have to decide which of the three hundred different sites should actually buy from.

The first place most people think of when it comes to buying a domain name would be GoDaddy.com.  And that’s fine they have paid a great deal of money to be the first name that pops in your mind, great marketing.  In truth, for 95% of the world, GoDaddy.com will be just fine, but we don’t necessarily recommend GoDaddy.com because they have some odd terms and conditions that basically say they have more rights to the domains than many business people and internet marketers think they should, including us.  Many internet marketers do not use GoDaddy.com because of the control issues in the terms and conditions.

We typically recommend just pickup up some free domains when you choose your actual web host!  Most web hosting plans now a days come with a few free domains as well, so why no do it all in one step and save 20 bucks or so in the process. We like Liquid Web which is a website that provides the option of buying both the domain and the hosting service, that actually makes your domain live.  On Liquid Web their lowest cost is $14.95 for 1 GB disk space, 120 GB transfer, and 2 free domains.  And from there, you can get more disk space, transfer, and domains for a high price.  Not bad considering that a domain itself is usually 7-10 bucks or so.

Another good place to buy domain names and get hosting is 1and1.com which as long as you do not have tons and tons of traffic, is a great place to purchase domain names and hosting companies.  They have pretty good deals and free domains like Liquid Web, click on the image below to see their deals.
