For Internet startups, it is important to make every penny count. That means that when it comes to domain names, finding the cheapest one may be beneficial. There are many domain name registrars on the market. These providers are based from all parts of the world. In essence, there is no significant difference if you buy from one company or another because the domain name remains the same.

The distinction lies in the customer support you receive, whether the seller also offers web hosting, and follow-ups when your registration is about to expire. Below are some tips that will help you find the cheapest domain names:

Join domain reseller clubs
A great way to find cheap deals is to sign up for domain reseller clubs. Once you become a member, you can get one piece of domain at bulk rates. As a new webmaster, this resource will also give you a better inkling about the Internet industry in general. Take note that some reseller clubs may ask for sign-up fees; try to find a club that doesn’t require payment.

Get cheap top level domain (TLD)
TLD simply means domain name extensions. For example, instead of getting a .com extension for your site name, you can consider .info, .tv, or .cc among others. Some TLDs can cost as little as $1/yr or even less. Consider country-specific domain names as well.
