I just registered a new domain name at NameCheap.com. The domain prices at NameCheap.com is $8.88 but if you enter the NameCheap.com coupon code found at this forum topic, you will get a discounted price at only $7.99. That’s the same price as RegisterFly.com.
I’m a bit fed up with RegisterFly.com. They have not refunded me my error charges even after multiple support email requests over a period of 1 week. I had no choice but to issue a chargeback request from my credit card company!
I just realised NameCheap.com also has a free “privacy protection” service when you register a domain. They also have an “instant name server” feature that allows you to add a domain to your web host immediately after purchasing a new domain. Maybe all web domain registrars allow this today? I am not so sure. The last time I purchased a domain at GoDaddy.com and other places, I had to wait 1 or 2 days to get my web domain “attached” to my web host.
I purchase domain names to appear unique when I am promoting affiliate programs in Google AdWords as Google does not allow duplicate domains names in their ad listings. Furthermore, it’s a good way to hide my affiliate ID from my competitors.
I will be posting more posts about affiliate program marketing at this blog from now on. I will create a network of “niche blogs” to cover different niche areas of internet marketing. I believe this would make my blogs more targeted, organized, and easier to digest for my readers.

You need to post more!!!
I enjoyed your adventures in affiliate advertising. Now it’s maybe 1 post every two weeks and not a lot of substance.

I’m looking for a decent domain registrar, so let us know if you have any problems with namecheap.com.
Most of the problems I’ve researched are with their support. Aparently all you get is an answering machine. Look’s like their the best one for value though.

Great post. GoodParrot.com is even cheaper at $7.85. We’ve been more than happy with them for a long time now.
