- A lot of companies offer a free domain name for the first year when you sign up for web hosting.
- Shop around. Namecheap is one of the cheapest places to get top-level domains, including renewals. It is also an established company that has been around since 2000, and has 24/7 support via live chat or email.
- Wait for sales. There are typically great sales on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Memorial Day Weekend, Veteran’s Day, etc.
- Use a coupon code. Just google the “domain name company + coupon code”, or look on Retail Me Not.
- Purchase a domain name for a longer period of time. It is often cheaper to get a domain name for a duration or 2 or 3 years than one.
