Can I purchase a domain with one website cheaper, then transfer it to another site?

Posted on Aug 03, 2009 under domain news and reports | 7 Comments

I can get the domain name at one site for $9.99 or $19.99 at another. Only thing is that the website that charges $19.99 for the domain name has other services I want. Can I buy it at one site and transfer it to the other and still keep the lower price?

  1. No. In order to transfer it to the other site you are going to have to pay them their registration fee. So if you did that you would pay the full price at both registrars. (Unless they have some sort of promotion that gives you a discount when you transfer. But that is unlikely and you would need to check with the specific registrar for that information.)

  2. I did a transfer of domain name from one company to another before but it has a lot of hassles and I wouldn’t recommend you to do it. Hence, I would recommend you to stick one web hosting company which register your domain name for you too.

  3. Don’t trust any cheap service, many of them don’t allow you to have full control on your domain name. If you’re going to buy domain names, refer to:

    GoldPuma is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($9.99 /year). They offer free extras with every domain name:

    Personalized Email Account

    Total DNS Control
    Change of Registration

    As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: http://www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

    If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
