Domain Registration Transfers

[gamerdude]

I want to register three domain names, but use a hosting service that doesn't register them (they only do one on sign-up). I was thinking about using register.com or godaddy.com to get the domain name, then transfer it to a host. Is there extra fees in this?

I don't need the site right away, but I want to secure the domain name for a future company name.

Any suggestions on the best way to do this (lowest price, ease of transfer) appreciated!

send me a pm, we do it for just 10 bucks a year including registration fee, and when you decide your hosting partner we sort that out for free.

You don't need to worry about transferring your domain name per se - just follow the simple instructions of almost any web host and your domain will be correctly pointed in 24-48 hours, at no charge.

Godaddy holds about 120 of my domain names. Depending on the domain name/extension you want, it could be as low as $1.99 for the first year (.info).

I always use <a href="http://www.siaminet.com" target="_blank">http://www.siaminet.com</a>.

They register for 450 baht ..... very good support (the owner responds within a couple of hours). You can pay them by ATM. When the time is there, you can change your

DNS servers very fast and easy. No need to transfer your domain .....

A little more than 10 dollars but service next door ....

I've used some of the advice above and registered a couple of names.

I would hate to develop a product, then find out someone snagged the name when I was ready to start promoting it!

Thanks for the help!
