Default Domain Name registrar, register.com

I found register.com is charging $35 per year for .com, why their charges is too high?

I actually wonder that too, sometimes. They need to get into 21st century style. I might go and look at the archive of it (if its listed) to see if it has actually changed at all . Though they have been around for sometime so they must be a profitable company.

Yes I see that but how they are competing with top registrar those offering $8 to $9/year for .com.

Hi, how are you? No, I think it's pretty reasonable.

I have a few domains with them. They do have great rates. I don't pay that much. I pay $30 per year for the registration and $20 per month for the hosting.

I think you are paying too much I heard their supports are awful as well.

You'll be able to find good domain registrars with much cheaper rates and better service and support easily.

Well why don't you come and get an account at eUKhost like you keep saying you are then and pay a lot less. I doesn't make sense!!

What are the domains of your websites then? You told me a while back you didn't have a website or any domains and that is why you were here

Because they need 4 times less customers to make the same money - thats how they're doing it!

I am sure they have some strong USP and targeting a particular class of customers who are not price conscious in specific market segment.
