Register.com Over Priced?

Register.com made me an offer today (email spam) which invited me to register a domain for 43% savings at $19.99  - They are kidding, right? That’s at least $10 more than you would have to pay at other places, like namecheap.com, godaddy, 1and1, etc.

Amazing that people still pay 50% more than they have to for a domain name! Here is register.com’s email:

Been thinking about registering new Domain name? Now’s the time - because for one week only you can get a new domain name for only $19.99 - a 43% savings. Register as many new domain names as you want - all for only $19.99 a year per domain.

e.g. mybrand.com
