Registering a domain name used to be a predictable process involving one registrar, one set of rules, and one price. Of course, as with any monopoly, there were never any bargains. Now there are many registrars, offering a wide variety of prices, customer service, and legal rights and restrictions. Because a domain name is such a very valuable asset, I consider the legal terms to be a far more important consideration than even the annual registration fee. Some bargain hunters, however, are unknowingly jeopardizing their domain name to save what amounts to a dollar or two a month. Here’s information to help you win when you play the domain name game.
Legal Restrictions to Watch For
* Some registrars reserve the right to revoke your domain name for any reason.
* Some registrars place restrictions or even prohibit you from transfering to a new registrar.
* Some registrars place restrictions on how you are allowed to use your domain.
Choosing a Registrar
* Browse the ICANN list of accredited registrars
* Visit the site of each registrar that interests you. Registrars are listed by location and language on the InterNIC site.
* Check price and carefully read the terms offered — there are often surprises.
