Domain name registration prices are a market that is pretty well balanced. There are higher and lower prices with various companies, but in general they are within a few dollars of one another. Where the prices of domain name registration can really be compared is within the area of number of domains, number of years, and the extentions. So here is a little bit about domain name registration prices compared based on the length of time, number of domains, and the extention the name has.

The first part of domain name registration prices compared is the number of domains that you are registering. With most any reputable registration company, you will get a better price per domain with more domain names registered at the same time. So in order to get the best price you will generally need to register hundreds of domains. You can expect to save as much as 11% if you register in bulk with your domain registrar.

An alternative to consider when domain name registration prices are compared is the number of years you register for at the same time. For instance, if you register for just one year you may only pay four dollars, but if you register your domain name for 10 years you could save quite a few dollars per year. That is not to say you should always register for several years, but that you should register for the most number of years that make sense for you. Consider how big of a commitment you want to make to the name and then how much you want to spend on the registration. Remember, even though you will pay more, you can always renew as your time frame for registration ends.

The third factor and one that many do not think about, when domain name registration prices are compared is the extention of the domain you take. There are in fact a number of extentions now existing on the internet, from the traditional .com to the less well known .ws and .tv extentions. Now not only do you have to be eligible for certain extentions, but also there are different prices connected with each one. As a common rule, .com, .net, and .org are the cheapest domains and are usually under $10 each. The most expensive is usually .ws or .us, which can run you up over $20 per year. However, you do have to remember that the other factors will affect the price as well. So if you look to register for 5-10 years you will find that sometimes those .tv or .ws extentions can be as little as one or two years with a .biz or .info Top Level Domain.

The tiny Polynesian island nation of Niue is beginning to think it’s been had. Frankly, it’s clear they didn’t do their homework before they did their agreement.

Ironically, it seems the buyer hadn’t really done his, either. Anyone who has been swamped by advertisements for ‘global domains’ can certainly understand that it’s a rapidly increasing business. The specter of purchasing a domain at a much better price than the more common ‘dot com’ or ‘dot net’ or ‘dot org’ is most attractive to most aspiring entrepeneurs on restricted budgets. This niche’s market leader is most likely Global Domains International (GDI), which has no doubt put Western Samoa on the mental map of many a cybernaut. The key aspect in that deal is that the Western Samoan government granted the rights to GDI in return for a percentage for every domain sold.

Niue’s name is consequent from the local language’s phrase for, “Look, a coconut!” It seems they should have used theirs more carefully before signing a domain deal with Bill Semich in 1998.

An American entrepreneur whose former station was editor for a computer magazine, Semich recognized the potential value in the marketability of unique domains. Apparently finding the ‘nu’ extension an eye-catching letter arrangement, he signed a contract with the Niue government that gave him the private rights to it.

It wasn’t a one-way deal. Semich guaranteed free wireless access for all 2000 of Niue’s people and he delivered, carrying out the system of an island-wide set-up of translator towers in 2003. The country’s leaders surely felt they had provided their population with a service for the new century which would positively ensconce their place in island history.

Semich, meanwhile, intended to hawk his bargain domains to Americans. He had no idea that his ideal clients were in Sweden, where ‘nu’ is the local word for ‘now.’

Clearly,’now’ is a hot advertising action term in any language, so Semich was pleasantly surprised to find the Swedes flocking to his cyber-property. As a translated example of why this works for them, ‘drive.now’ (which would be ‘köra.nu’) is a very compelling sales slogan which becomes an perfect URL for a Swedish driving school. To date, Semich has had 110,000 sales of ‘dot nu’ domains at $30 a year, which has considerably swollen the coffers of his ‘.NU Domain Ltd’ to the level that its website’s home page default language is now — or nu — in Swedish.

Moreover, Semich has cunningly taken advantage of this windfall to become the first domain provider to include a complete Unicode character set into its scripts, allowing users whose alphabets have unique characters — in Swedish, that would be the letters ‘å,’ ‘ä’ and ‘ö’ — to remain true to their language instead of settling for Anglicized versions, which often destroy their original meaning.
