msaifuddin.com
It has been 3 years since I bought msaifuddin.com (19 June 2006) and tomorrow will be the expiration date for the domain's yearly contract.
Every year, I will transfer my domain to a new domain registrar to save a few bucks.
A week before the expiration date, I will spend some time to monitor the TLD (top level domain) market prices and compare them with different companies.
The first time I bought msaifuddin.com, I am still naive about all the domain+web related things and I did not care much about the prices. I just pay..pay..and pay.
As time goes by, I learn that I can save a few ringgit/dollars by choosing company that provides discount coupons on their domain/hosting packages.
There are hundreds of companies which provides this kind of offers. A few clicks on Go0gle could help you to find one.
Discount coupons can save a few bucks from its original prices. If you can find a reliable company, domain registration/renewal should only cost below USD$10 (RM35~) and with discount coupons, sometimes the price can drop until 50% from its usual price.
Besides coupons, currency exchange also can help you to save money.
Domain name in sold in USD by most US companies is cheaper than the price offered by most Malaysian-based companies.
An average price for a domain in USD is about USD$10 each (you can find many below $10), while a domain in Ringgit Malaysia is about RM40. USD$1 ~= RM3.50. You do the maths!
Anyway, there are millions of companies in the internet that offers a great deal for your money. Just be wise when buying them.
