When you have chosen your best possible domain its time to go for domain name registration, in this article, I will tell you about the most popular domain name registers and compare them by price and services.

And here comes the question – which domain name register would suit me best.

Let’s describe the main differences you will need to look at during that process.

1st is the initial price of course.

2nd is the renewal price. You are planning to keep your blog for years, right?

Many domain registers love to give you lower initial price but then charge a lot for renewal or transfer.

3rd is domain transfer price. It can happen that you might need to move from one domain registrar to another, and yes, they will charge you for transfer. And when they do, how much is it then?

Next difference is additional services which are included. The SSL should be free, if not, I would avoid this registrar straight away, free emails (if you will need of course), free privacy and so on.

Let’s compare some companies what can help you with domain name registration
