    crazydomains is selling the one i want for $6… if only it was $3!

    sorry OFT.

    • $6 is cheap. If you want it, maybe pony it up before someone else does?

  • +1

      Would be the normal price. Not the promotional price.

      • Which is about 9$ by the looks of it

  • do crazy domains do private registration?

    • They do. I think it's around $7.99 p/y

      I'm only interested when it has some content ;)

    • What if you aren't asn? Can you still buy these domains?

  • No transfers available?

    • +1

      Yep. Includes transfers. I just transferred 2 domains from GoDaddy to take advantage of the cheap price. You can transfer a *.com for 10 years for only $30! And after 60 days I guess you can transfer the domains to somewhere a little more reputable if you're that way inclined. Unfortunately, unlike GoDaddy, Crazydomains doesn't provide free e-mail forwarding (DNS package now $12/yr, normally ~$18, e-mail package from 50c/month?), so it'll take a little more effort if you just wanted to forward your e-mails from [email protected].

      Of course, I would rather invest in cheap shared hosting and/or an alternative registrar with free e-mail forwarding than pay for something so simple.

      • I personally use google to host my email for my domain.

        I just tried to port across a domain from godaddy and it keeps posting an error, not cool.

  • .tk are free however free domains always look a bit dodgy

  • Sorry, but i'm new to this… If I sign up for a domain through here, can I then link it to a Google Apps account? And if I have the personal google apps account, will that provide me unlimited emails at my @domain? Once again, sorry. Promise to pass the wisdom on once I learn.

      Q1. Yep. Just takes a bit of extra work. Sign up with free DNS services provider cloudflare.com and change your nameservers in your crazydomains account settings (as directed by cloudflare). Google Apps will make you verify your domain with an option for a TXT string you can create in cloudflare. Nameserver changes could take a day or two in theory but once they're set the TXT verification should take 5 minutes or so to be detected by Google. You will also have to change some MX records and enter an extra TXT string to get e-mail to work. Google cloudflare and Google Apps to make your life a lot easier.

      Q2. As far as I can see, the Google Apps signup page suggests a limit of 10 discrete inboxes (equivalent to "users") for the free account. You can have near-unlimited aliases deliver to the same discrete inbox as I understand it but I don't know if that would suit your needs (unless you wanted to fake a giant corporation :)). I've just signed-up myself so I'm clueless about the hacks that are out there.

  • From personal experience, crazydomains' customer service and reliability are very bad for hosting.
    But I guess this shouldn't be a problem for just a domain registration.

  • +1

    Seems that unlike many domain registrations it doesn't include DNS services :( This means that to actually make the address link to your own server you will need to pay an additional 18$/year.

    Correct me if I am wrong? I'm kind of new to this. But I signed up and expected to be able to just enter my IP address and create an A record, but apparently that costs extra?

    • Im confused about this also.
      Seem to be able to change nameserver and point a subdomain to a ip for free?

      Certainly feeling some buyers remorse about this

    • +1

      Yeah…I was confused upon reading the multiple reviews of Crazydomains as to whether an absence of "DNS services" would pose an issue and it appears it does in some cases. For example, I wanted to test out Google Sites and Google Apps e-mail and I couldn't setup either without DNS services it would appear (I could be wrong). For example, Google Sites requires domain ownership verification via TXT or CNAME string modifications and Google Apps mail forwarding requires MX modfications on top of CNAME re-mapping of "mail.'yourdomain'.com". Again, I could be wrong as I haven't investigated fully yet.

      So, as in your case (and mine) where you won't be using a straightforward webhosting service, maybe you can just look for a free DNS forwarding service for 60 days until you transfer out to a more generous domain provider (with the next deal that comes along :)). I've just signed up for free with Cloudflare and I hope to remember to update you if it works in 24 hours (after nameserver changes propagation). Cloudflare apparently has a lot of other advantages too (faster loading times via CDNs, near instant DNS re-propagation when your site's IP changes, etc, but I have no experience with it).

      I'd just exploit this deal if you have a domain you plan to last 10 years from now (10 years for 30 dollars) that you are just establishing but not depending on for the next few weeks. I had trouble logging in to their website today and have had other issues with automated domain transfers, so it's not just their hosting that's unreliable.

      • UPDATE: Cloudflare worked perfectly for DNS stuff needed for Google Sites.

        • And Google Apps e-mail works well after modifying MX and TXT records as per Google's (surprisingly useless) instructions.
