Those feels when i found an expired domain with 27 educational and 7 governmental referring domains. And I bought it using internetbs because of this thread.
I mainly use Namecheap because of the free whois privacy. Godaddy are money grabbing idiots. I only use them for auctions. Their whois privacy is a rippoff and I'm not even able to make a fake profile for purchasing domains from auction.
So the registrars with free whois are:
Namecheap
Internetbs
Namesilo
Any others? Need to spread the registration around to take care of *** f********s.
Doesn't NameCheap start charging you for Whois after the first year? Verisign wants their $7.85 per .com no matter what, and registrars who offer those $0.99 coupons have to make up for the loss they take in the first year somehow.
