A lot of places advertise the prices of domain name registration very cheaply, however once you go through the process of registration and onto checkout you may well find that the initial price has increased slightly, this is not uncommon and many of the big domain name registrars are known for this. In the majority of cases there are some legitimate reasons for this such as tax being added or V.A.T if you purchase your domain name registration in the UK. In other cases you may acquire the domain name for a very low price only to find other hidden costs after registration, these often include administration fees for changing the DNS records (Domain Name System). The DNS is a record, at the registry that converts IP addresses from numbers into names, i.e. 123.456.789.0 to www.yourdomain.com). This is needed when you come to host your site, the server that your site is hosted on will have a unique IP address, this address needs to be associated with your domain name in the nameservers section of the DNS setting. The most common hidden charges you will likely come across are the transfer out fees, this becomes relevant when you want to move your domain name to another company for whatever reason, this can be very excessive and I have seen cases where this fee is as high as $100.
What to look for when registering a domain name?
Not all companies have such hidden charges, there are some registrars that adhere to the price you see on the registration page, and there are many companies that will register domain names quite cheaply in the hope that you will take up some of their other services such as hosting or other additional services, this is fair practice, What you need to look out for when buying a cheap domain name registration is that you have complete control over it, a lot of companies will register your domain name and that is it the end of it, however there are companies that will give you a control panel where you have complete control over your domain name once registered, this is a vital feature as a domain name control panel will make it very easy for you to change the DNS settings, your registration and contact details, privacy options and a whole list of other services quite easy.
Finally you need to make sure that the domain name company is trustworthy, many of the top domain name companies will charge your credit card on a recurring basis, this is to be avoided, you really should have a registrar that reminds you of your domain name renewal and gives you the option on whether to renew the domain name or to leave it lapse. The resource box below will recommend a domain name registration company that ticks all the right boxes.
