Top 2 Best and Cheap Domain Registrar

Top 2 Best and Cheap Domain RegistrarThere are so many advantages in having a domain name of your own. First of all it adds credibility to your blog and your effort. Having a domain name makes your blog look a bit more professional. Secondly it distinguishes you from the rest of the blog crowds. Thirdly it helps your audience, because it’s easy to remember it. Fourthly many search engines give emphasis and rates high the sites which are under their root domain. And finally, there is a hell lot of online application which requires you to own the domain name to use their service.

The plus point of using blogger is the custom domain option they provide. This takes away the worry of bandwidth and storage space as blogger will take care of those. The only thing you need to buy is a domain name. Domain names come very cheap nowadays and it should be a pity if you can’t own one. In this article I am introducing two domain name registrars who offer the most cheaply and reliable solution. The First One:

1) Netfirms

This is the cheapest option available in the market. It costs you $5.95 for the first year and $9.95 for the rest of the years. This is applicable of .com, .net and .org domains only. They have a limit of 5 domains which will be available for a single user for $5.95. Their package comes with a free private WHOIS feature, DNS management service and Email hosted on your domain. They also provide mail forwarding and you can have upto three custom email accounts for your account. For this price they provide 25MB of disk space and 1024MB of monthly bandwidth. Those who are going to use the blogger custom domain will never bother about it. Their only disadvantage compared to the other registrar I am mentioning here is that it takes a few hours before it gets updated in servers world wide. They have an excellent customer support and their technical support documents available on their site are more than sufficient.

2) Name

This is slightly costlier than Netfirms, come on $5.99 is always greater than $5.95. But then their renewals will cost you only $9.55 per year. They offer .info domain at $2.99 and .biz domains at $7.99. But their biggest USP will be that they provide you with a Google Apps account. They also provide good DNS management service and the personalized email is powered by google. They also offer free Private WHOIS feature and other google services like Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google web page creator. Their costumer service is also good and they do answer your mails properly. A Blogger user who is going to use the custom domain feature has to be careful in getting this one work: You need to delete the start.yourdomain.com CNAME first, and then only proceed to setup a CNAME in blogger. They do update the servers around the world much faster.
