Godaddy .info and .com renewal codes

There is no .info renewal code at this point in time but you can use this code ‘OYH1′ 10% off anything.  UPDATE aug 2007 on the .info you can renew with ‘lol73′ code for $5.99 a year for .infos at this current moment.

Best domain registrars

I have quite a few domains and have been using many registrars over the years.

For .co.uk I recommend http://www.ukreg.com. They are one of the cheapest (123-reg has a poor interface and don’t take paypal).

For .com ($8.88 http://www.namecheap.com ($8.88 you can get $1 off with a coupon or http://www.godaddy.com  (about the same or $6.95 +22cent ican fee with a coupon).  Renewals can be a pain in the ass as godaddy or namecheap don’t tend to give discounts. One trick I have used is to transfer domains between the two at a discounted rate and register the domain for a long period of time at the discounted rate. For example I transfereed a domain from namecheap (8.88 renewal fee) to godaddy (6.95 transfer fee) and registered the domain for 5 years saving me about $5.

For .info I use godaddy but there $10.22 renewal fee is a rip off. I am looking for a cheap renewal fee for .infos if anyone has any suggestions, please comment.

For .net www.moniker.com $5.49 an average interface but the 5.49 renewal and registration fee is the best about and they have a good reputation.

Go to domainnamecoupons.com or dncoupons.com to get discount vouchers for domains.

Domain name addiction

It has become apparent that I have a problem with registering too many domains, I just can’t stop registering them. I can go without registering domains for a few weeks and then I will have an idea for a website, I go check if the domain is available if it is I register it, if it isn’t then I think of another, check it and register it. 

The problem with this method is that the recurring fees for undeveloped domains can wipe out profits. The way I am going to approach this problem is to not register any domains for the next 2 months and try to develop or sell 50% of my registered domains (I have a few hundred at least).

Transferring domains away from register fly

If like me registerfly have screwed you e.g. stealing your money and not renewing your domain its time to transfer your domains away.

I decided to go for godaddy (this offer is on there homepage near the top) as they have a special offer which is $6 for a transfer and they add another year onto the domain. So for example if you have a domain that is due to expire in 9/26/06 and you transfer it to godaddy then it will expire in 9/26/07.

To transfer your domain from registerfly to any registrar you need your domain unlocked, your domain authorization code (also known as epp code) and privacy protection (also known as protect fly or whoisguard) disabled and the correct email address on the domain record.

1. Firstly login to the registerfly website
2. Click the manage domains button on the main menu
3. Select your domain name by clicking (the domain name is blue underlined)

To unlock the domain
4. A new page will load, with the domain details on. Check the domain status if it says unlocked you should be ok (if the whois says locked try locking then unlocking). If it says locked then click the locked link.

5. A new page will load click the unlock tick box (also known as a checkbox) if it is ticked and click the update button. The page should reload with the updated information.
6. You can use the drop down menu to quickly go to your other domains and unlock them

To get your domain authorization code (also known as epp code)
7. Carry out steps 1 to 3 above to get to your domain information page.
8. Click the + button, to expand the domain contact information panel (see diagram)

9. Click the configure button in the domain contact information panel
10. The configure page will load. Scroll down to the button of the page and click the configure button.

11. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to find your authorization code.

12. You can also update your email information on this page.
13. To quickly get the epp codes for your other domains use the drop down menu with the domain names in at the top of the page.
