A Cheap Domain Name? It’s Possible!
Purchasing a domain name is often the very first step when launching a brand-new website or blog. The main reason explaining this approach is that each domain name is completely unique. Indeed, since a domain name serves as a means of identifying your website amongst all the other sites present on the web, it requires its own individual name.
What Lies Behind the Price of a Domain?
Several factors contribute to the end cost of a domain name.
A domain name’s base price is determined by the registers depending, among other variables, on how long its extension is. Management fees are then added, particularly when the register doesn’t offer automatic communication and the processes must be carried out manually. Finally, some domain names are considered as ‘premium’, which also has a direct influence on prices.
How Can One Find a Cheap Domain Name?
Domain name prices may vary quite significantly based on how expensive the extension is from the register, whether or not it requires to be managed manually and if the name in question is considered as ‘premium’. It is therefore possible to slightly adjust a domain name to go from a premium price to a regular price or to choose an extension whose price is lower to bring down the overall cost of the domain name.
Extensiones
In 2007, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) launched a programme aiming to expand the domain name system. Thus, new domain name extensions came into effect as of 2013, allowing for the creation of many additional top-level domains.
Geographical extensions (such as ‘.fr’, ‘.co.uk’, ‘.de’, ‘.ie’, etc.) as well as more generic extensions (such as ‘.com’, ‘.net’, ‘.org’, etc.) now coexist with much more specific options. These new extensions, for instance, give more precise geographical information (such as ‘.paris’, ‘.nyc’, etc.) while others have to do with an industry (‘.radio’, ‘.hotel’, ‘.bank’, etc.). Companies and brands can even ask for their own name to be turned into a new, exclusively dedicated extension.
These extensions offer better online visibility and provide new opportunities to those wishing to adopt a more significant domain name.
It is worth noting that some extensions are more expensive than others and may have an influence on the overall price of a domain name.
