That company looks too cheap. I wouldn't touch it with a twenty foot pole.

I just spoke with their customer support. They accept Checks, money orders, and credit cards, and do claim to be Icann accredited. I do not know myself, still.

Talked to customer support again:

Mike: ok we don't register at dot5hosting
Mike: but we registere the site at enom.com

So, I guess their previous statement stating that they were Icaan accredited was a lie, since they just use a different site to register domains.

$2.50? Sure? It seems a bit too cheap to be true... Even their web hosting is dirt cheap.

Well it could be for real but they're losing $3.50 on each domain they register even if they're a eNom reseller.

I would avoid this host and registar if I were you.

usually they buy 'domains' pre-paid and they are cheaper than one domain
