We save money on domain name registration, but maintain quality

    After studying a very useful post, I would like to insert my own, it seems to me, important 5 kopecks. And talk about how a small web studio can save 500% on 1 procedure.

    It is possible and even necessary to register domains for 100 rubles. The scheme is simple - you register a large number of domain names (for example, 40) with the cheapest registrar (for example, atname.ru or domain4ik.ru) for 99 rubles, for 90 rubles or even get them for free (affiliate programs, bonuses / gifts and etc.). It is important to remember here that the cost of registering a new domain name in the first year is always different from the cost of renewing registration for each subsequent year, so some companies expect to recover losses for the first year in a few years. But we are trickier.

    After registration and payment of domain names with a “cheap registrar”, you complete the procedure of transferring these domains to a “high-quality registrar" (for example, to R01). You can always transfer a domain name , regardless of whether you are an individual or a legal entity. Personal presence is not required. Transfer costs for legal entities persons - 100 rubles (sending a registered letter), transfer costs for individuals. persons - 500 rubles (100 rubles for sending a registered letter, 400 rubles for notarization of a signature on a letter). Therefore, it is recommended to transfer as many domain names as possible in 1 time (that is, within a single letter) in order to increase the percentage of savings.

    The transfer scheme is unified. If you are a jur. face, download from off. the site of the current domain registrar, a letter template for transferring domain names to the new Registrar, fill it in (list all domain names) and send it to the mailing address with the add-on package. documents (list on the same off site). Fiz. people also need to download a letter template, they also need to fill out and send it, but, plus everything, the signature on such a letter must be notarized (I could not find a notary who would render this service cheaper than 400 rubles).

    You can also inform the new registrar about the acceptance of domain names by letter (already without notarization, if an individual) or through your personal account (there is such a special section in the registration office in R01, so they don’t need to send letters to most other registrars, most likely, a similar section is also there).

    Now attention: when transferring domain names from one Registrar to another, the paid periods for registering a domain name are saved. That is, it is not necessary to pay for something again at the “new place”.

    What do we have in the end? Saving. Registered 40 domains per year for 99 rubles, total: 3,960 rubles. We transferred 40 domains to a “quality registrar” of domain names, which has all the necessary accreditations, certificates, extensive experience, the broadest possibilities and professional service. If 40 domains were initially registered with a “quality registrar” (R01 tariff is 590 rubles, the prices for other similar registrars are about the same), then it would cost us 23,600 rubles. 3,960 (we add here another 500 rubles per letter) and 23,600 - is there a difference? More than 500%. For the money saved, we buy a pretty iPhone secretary.

    And when the paid year will come to an end, then you can again find the Registrar with the cheapest renewal of domain registration, transfer them to it, renew and return to the “quality registrar”. Here the savings will be a little less, but also rather big.

    The average term for the transfer procedure is 1 week.

    Who will benefit from this? For those who regularly register a large number of domain names. For yourself or your customers. Cost optimization is more than significant.

    Yes, “quality registrars” are losing profits, but we are not breaking any rules and agreements. All within the framework of the law and within the framework of the offers. Just another loophole.

    PS Also in komtetAnd the question was asked regarding the liquidation of legal entities. faces and loss of domain names. Everything is very simple here - change the Domain Name Administrator. To an individual, then you can again transfer the name to any other jur. face (you can do the same). Suppose you are the general director of the LLC for which the domain is registered. And you are an individual who wants to get this domain. Write to any person you meet on the street (or sister, or brother, or neighbor, or company employee) a power of attorney to manage the organization’s domain names from LLC. And write 2 letters - transfer of domain names from legal entities. faces to physical. person (signed by a person with a power of attorney, you yourself can not) and the admission of physical. face of domain names from jur. persons (and you sign it yourself). It is not necessary to certify anything notarized (but if you transfer from an individual to a legal entity)

    PPS Many physical. and jur. the individuals received a “domain as a gift” from the hosting providers of their sites (for example, SWeb) without paying a dime for it. The domains of these domains are extremely limited in their capabilities, you are not their default administrators (it is impossible to configure auto-renewal of registration, apply for new domains, etc., etc., in general, you have no options at all except editing WHOIS information). The real owners are intermediary companies (those kind uncles who gave you a domain name). And it can be even worse, your debt with the hosting provider is several thousand rubles (for example, your LLC owed 8,000 rubles for renting a server and for the third month it has been unable / unwilling to give this money, but there is no longer any need for this server, you bought your or decided to close this or that project).

    The debt is several thousand and the deadline for renewing the domain registration has approached. You will not be able to do this without covering the debt for hosting (the balance is one). It would seem, but this is not so. Download from off. the domain registrar’s website (these are not intermediary companies for which you owe money, but other companies that you can find using the REG field in the WHOIS results) letter templates for transferring domain names to a “direct contract”, fill out (attach copies of constituent documents or passports) and send to the mailing addresses of these registrars. After 1 week, you will get full access to your domain names (although you did not pay for them, hehe), and the hosting providers who blackmail you with domain loss in case of debt default will be very surprised. Not physical. persons, no jur. persons do not need to notarize letters nothing is required to pay anyone else either, most importantly - remember the timing (1-1.5 weeks). Once I managed to take control of a “beautiful” domain 2 days before its theoretical loss. Got adrenaline.

    PPPS Ask questions. I will be glad if I help anyone.
