Find Cheap Domain Names at 1&1

There are many reasons why some domains are cheaper than others. The most obvious reason is like with any businesses that sell the same products; they compete against each other with differentiating prices. One type of business will speculate on high volume and therefore have lower profit margins, which in turn keep their prices down. Other businesses sell themselves as exclusive and high-end providers and charge the respective prices. As stated above, some providers package their domain prices with the affiliated services such as domain and website hosting. See for yourself! Another common reason for differentiating domain prices is the demand for domain extensions (.com, .net, .info…). The most demanded domain extension like .com would be more expensive because of the basic economic principles of supply and demand. The more demand for a domain, the less are available and the higher the price will be accordingly.

1&1 offers you a wide range of different domains. The most common domains are available at cheap prices. You will find generic top level domains (e.g. .com, .co.uk, .uk, .me.uk, .org...) and a lot of new top level domains as .london, .scot or .football.

The term premium domain refers to all domains which are already registered by another person or company who might currently not be interested in selling it. These domain names are usuallyshort, generic and thus easy to remember. Because of these characteristics, owners of such a premium domain can sometimes expect to make a lot of money when reselling them. Usually, premium domains are auctioned through marketplaces, like sedo.com and not very cheap to get your hands on.

At 1&1, we strive to always have competitive price levels for our products - for every customer. However, due to the sheer size of our portfolio, we cannot guarantee to have the best price available for all products, all the time. Instead, we focus on a selected range of domain extensions which are very frequently sought after by our customers, such as .com, and provide those domain names to you at a very cheap rate.

Many competitors have aggressive offers in their portfolio, too. For example: when a launch of a new domain extension is shortly to come, it is an industry standard to promote bundles of domains at a discounted rate. Thus, there are always many cheap domain names for sale in the marketplace. It is up to you to find the right registrar with the best offer for your need.

In case you are looking for a cheap domain name purchase, there are a couple of things you should keep in mind. The offers that are available to you will likely be different in a number of dimensions such as: 1st year price, setup fees, multiyear-registration options and discounts, opportunities for bundles, the level of support, additional services available to you, and eventually: the renewal rate.

Usually, a cheap domain name renewal price for the 2nd year is higher than the welcome offers you can get for the initial registration of a domain in the first year. Most domain deals also suggest that you will get an additional discount, the longer you commit yourself to the domain provider.
