domain.com appears to be a good domain name registrar that appears to be in business for the past 14 years. Offering their services since 2000, they claim to offer domain names registration with Total DNS Management and Transfer Lock control. Apart from that, they also seem to offer web hosting, VPS hosting, Email, SSL certificates, web design, and online marketing services. Seems like they are including URL Forwarding, Email Forwarding services as well for free.

User Interface (UI)

As far as the order and checkout goes, the website looks good, but the UI for the checkout process is a bit different which left me with a different flavor. Here’s how the ordering system looks like:

Domain.com Review Conclusion

The total of $18.98/yr seems to be too pricey, considering that I always make sure to include Domain privacy with my order. So for example, if you want to register 10 domains, you will end up paying almost $90/yr, just for the privacy. This is a no-no. If you opt for just the domain name (not suggested), the cost would be $9.99/yr. This is just like any other domain name registrar. There’s nothing special about it which appeals to me and makes me want to go with it.
