Cheapest Domain Names Deals. Be Ready to Run!

There are web hosting companies that offer some of the cheapest domain names deals that are hard to resist. In fact such deals at times runs as low as zero dollars.

In other words it costs you nothing! However, there are two big difference.

1.) Visitors just won’t get it.

When you use a free web hosting company, the domain names that they offer to you are in the form of third level domain names. There is a problem with that. It makes the domain name long and somewhat difficult to remember.

That problem is even compounded when someone tries to access the third level domain by typing in the full URL. Chances are, there will be typos and where there are typos – chances are that there will be missed traffic. Guess where it goes, most likely back to the main site.

There are three main levels for Internet domain names.

Top level such as .com

Second level. The name that comes after the .com, such as livinginternetl.com

Third level domain names such as rareorchids.livinginternet.com

Third level Internet domain names have been created by those people who own second level domains. It’s that “third level domain name” that one is likely to get for free for signing up with those “cheapest domain name deals” that you see floating around.

2.) Marketing nightmare

Wait until you start your link marketing campaign. At that moment you start to realize how really a long awkward looking sub domain name is hard to market. Don’t forget your marketing endeavors will also be creating value for the main domain (remember you don’t own it). Talk of working for someone else without pay.

For those two reason:

A person should really think thrice before signing up with any of the cheapest domain name deals that they come across. Instead one should consider buying his or her own domain name.

Cheap domain names are available today, it is very possible to get a really affordable domain name. Cheap domain names range anywhere from being $0 to about $9.95.

Before beginning the process of picking out a domain name, it would be a good idea to have a few choices ready in case your primary choice is taken. Read how not to lose your domain name.

What are the downsides to using cheap domain names?

If a cheap domain name company is unscrupulous, a person may not receive a domain name at all. The company may tell the customer to wait for a few days until the domain name becomes active.

However, the domain name will not work even at the end of the waiting period. Since the company doesn’t really care anyway, e-mailing customer service won’t work either.

How will you know that you are not using a fraudulent cheap domain name company?

First of all, you need to check and see if the company is an accredited registrar registered with the Better Business Bureau. This is an organization that makes sure that businesses are operating above board.

Second, you need to see if the company has normal contact information such as an address and a telephone number. Sometimes that does not even make a difference as the phone can ring and ring and ring and no one ever answers. If that happens, then tread carefully that might be a warning sign not to buy web domain names from them.

Third, they should see if the company has a bad reputation on message boards dedicated to webmasters. Of course, a person may not always get an opinion about a certain company, but if they do, they will know to steer clear of it.

Conclusion.

Next time you see an ad titled “cheapest domain names deals” tread carefully, much better stay away. Just in case you go ahead and click on the ad, find out for sure if their cheap domain name is actually a third level domain. If that is the case, best thing to do…run!
