Namezero is offering me my domain for $4.95

[LastActionHero]

I got an email from NameZero offering me the domain I registered with them (my first name) for $4.95. Just thought I should let you guys know.

Are you sure it's not $14.95? With the "1"?

[stu]

yep, I got that $4.95 offer as well..

they keep sending me emails to renew my domain, and the price keeps changing. first it was $34.95, then $19.95, then $34.95, then $14.95, and now it's $4.95...

if it dips as low as $1.95, then I might renew it.. :biggrin2:

[alien]

$0.95 :D

[LeX]

Damn, I renewed it when it costed 10 bucks more. :mad:

[ashben]

So is it $4.95 for the first renewal or per year?

[Ashed]

Will the domain be yours after you pay or will it stay Namezero's?

[LastActionHero]

I think it's for the first year only. The domain will be mine if I renew it which I won't.

[sense]

5 $ is too low I don't think they will give the ownership to you at that price are your sure about it?

[stu]

yup, the email says the domain that if I renew at $4.95, the domain will be under my name..

however it also says: "You also have the chance to extend your registration term for 2 or 5 years at great prices". I doubt those renewals will be as cheap as $4.95...

[stu]

o wait. I forgot to read one part of the email..

"The domain will be yours through the end of its current registration period (our records show 05-JUL-02)."

So I guess it's not a complete year's renewal, but I guess it's cheap enough if I want to nab to domain and transfer it elsewhere..

[sense]

you are lucky than if you really want your domain :)

The issue is ownership joksky, you don't own that domain, they could redirect it somewhere else tomorrow and 'your' domain would be no more.

umm...no...:rolleyes: They are offering a renewal for 4.95...

I was tempted with the great offer and renewed my site 2 months before with them for $4.95, so far no problem at all. I used my Credit card to pay. Will they charge me more??

[LeX]

No, they won't - they shouldn't.

I suggest you transfer out as soon as the 60 day limit for domain transferring is up.

i suggest that u read the fine prints very carefully
if the price of a domain name is below $6, they won't b making any money
verisign, the company that controls .com .net and .org, charges all registrars $6 for each domain name that is sold...so in order for them to make any profit, it must be above $6

this $4.95 must be a limited time or 1st year only offer

[LeX]

It's pretty obvious that the $4.95 offer is only available for a limited time, and most likely for only a year's worth of registration. Who would want to stick with them after getting ownership of their domains anyway? You have absolutely no control over your domains there.

This is what I did when I got the same offer in the e-mail:
I paid them the $5 with a CC, and two days later, the domain was in my name. As soon as that was set, I transfered the domain to t35.com, although it literally took me hours to get everything I need in the netsol's site. Now, I'm a happy man :)
