$4.10 Free Credit at crazydomains
I use crazydomains.com and on the top right side where your name shows it said "free gift" to be honest It could have been there for a while I am not sure, but you fill out a little survey and they give you $4.10 instantly after you fill it out.
Now I have a question, I bought 5 year .info, I plan to renew 5 more years and the cost is $8 (woot savings lol) I want whois protection, is that $7 a year? I really hope not, but if so could I renew 5 years then transfer out?? do I have to wait 60 days to transfer?
Comments
where and when did you buy this domain?
@c1bl
Bought it at crazydomains.com for 5 years for $10 on December 9th, I know I have to wait until February to transfer it, but do you know if whois protection is $7 a year or $7 for domain life?
CMIIW but I think whois protection can not be transferred out.
@DalComp
I would not transfer out if it is confirmed to be $7 for the domain life (meaning as long as I keep renewing it I wont have to pay $7)
But if it is $7 a year I will have to transfer out :-/
@Stevie I never used their whois protection before.
You don't need to wait another 60 days if you renew the domain for another 5 years.
I believe whois protection is yearly, yes.
Remember that if you renew for 5 more years you won't be able to transfert out until there are 9 years remaining as you can't register a domain for more than 10 years (did read that, didn't test though).
Anyway, I did think that their .info promo was over, thanks for your thread I know see that they started it again, it's a great deal...
Please screenshot on where you see free gift cause I don't have it on mine
Just for a note for Crazydomains, their renewal price always fluctuate. If you had a chance, wait for 60 days, then transfer it to another registrar with free whois protection.
You can transfer out. You just won't get another extra year added on to your domain.
If you register, renew or transfer a domain you have to wait 60 days before you can transfer it to another registrar. That is pretty much the only restriction.
@Stevie: I would renew it for 10 years and 60 days later transfer out to namesilo or internetbs both of which provide free privacy for life.
@c1bl
Oh ok thanks.
@ben78
Yes I believe it was over too but I saw it recently, also it is $2 a year but I think if you pay for 1 year and then you buy 9 years at 20% discount (since I bought 5 years for $10 but if I extend it is only $8)
@Ruriko
@ErawanArifNugroho
Alright after 60 days I am transferring the domain - thanks.
@Abdussamad
Thanks so much, I think I will register 4 more years then when 60 days have past I will go with namesilo (but dang transfering a .info cost almost as much as a 5 year at crazydomain hehe. but I rather pay the $9 transfer then $7 A YEAR whois
aww the free gift isn't available on mine. Maybe it's country specific?
@Ruriko
Not sure but its possible, send a ticket and ask?
Maybe only for active user who have services/domain with them?
Crazydomains is a horrible registar.
Not sure if the free credit will actually benefit you, should you wish to hang on to the domain registered.
What's the problem with them? For people who register a domain there, why would it be important to try to transfer out quickly?
Thx
Thanks, didn't know that.
So maybe the best way would be to register for 1 year and then renew for 8 years, so a total of 9 years; then transfert to another registrar aftern the 60 days period...
Please let us know @Stevie if you have any problem transfering out...
Personally haven't had a problem with CrazyDomains, sometimes registering takes a long time but that was before recently. Haven't had a problem transferring out.
Same here. Transfer out takes 5 days. Only problem with CD is that sometimes they don't register domains automatically, every so often had to wait hours on end until they pushed the order through after some kind of manual verification process.
Ok, thanks guys.
Does anyone know how come they can get such low pricing for .info?
I try to purchase a domain today, and asked for address validation and scan of address.
Last time, they want me to send my scanned id. And in the end, it took 7 days to finish the process. So I just register the domain at another place and requested a refund
Got One. Thanks.
@ErawanArifNugroho
When I ordered and Paid I got the domain automatic, only problem was I got a email saying address was wrong so I emailed it back and 1 day later they said "my address is good now and sorry for the late response they are a bit backed up".
@Mahfuz_SS_EHL
Do you use crazydomains.com? I wonder if only the .com version is doing the free gift.
@ErawanArifNugroho - no luck. I had to ask to get the domain registred after a week, first time I did order. Then it seems like it's automated. My IP was residential & same country/area as the information I gave them though.
I use the .co.uk version and I can see the link, too.
I use crazydomains.in and can see the link to the Free Gift, too.
I use the .au version
@Ruriko
Email them and ask if you can get it since .com, .uk and .in have it and if you can get the free cash gift.
I use com.au version and I got one, I bought the domain internetlab |dot| info for two year.
@ScienceOnline then I guess you have an active domain while I don't
.com version and no credit.
@Ruriko
@TheLonely
You must have a active domain or service then I guess
