Uniregistry

It may seem  pretty obvious to people who spend every day working with domain names, but I bet  the vast majority of people have no idea what a domain name actually is. Uniregistry posted a quick 2 minute video about domain names. The video explains the basics about what domain names actually are, how to buy and renew them, and the difference between a registrar and registry.

The next time someone asks you “what is a domain name?” or “how does a domain name work?”, you can probably share this video with them and have it explain everything for them. I often encounter this when I tell people I am in the domain name business, and this video would be helpful.

I received my PayPal payment for PPC revenue from  Uniregistry, and I noticed a very small change when I logged in to my PayPal account. There was no fee taken out by PayPal, so my net payment was for the entire amount of the monthly PPC revenue earned.

Since Uniregistry  (Domain Name Sales / Internet Traffic)  opened and began taking on clients for its PPC platform, there was a small PayPal fee imposed on PayPal payments. I think this may have had something to do with the fact that Uniregistry was not based in the United States, but I am not entirely sure if this is the case. While the fee has been  relatively minimal, it was more of an annoyance having to log in to PayPal to see what the fee is to track it properly.

I am not sure when this changed, although in looking back I see that there was not a fee charged a month ago either. I am glad to see the change though. I would rather have the money in my pocket than in Paypal’s pocket. It will also take out one step in recording this income.

I received an email from  Uniregistry last night announcing a special offer on the occasion of the company’s third birthday. For the next three days, Uniregistry is offering its “lowest ever first year registration rate and transfer in rate” for .com, .net, and .org domain names. The registrar is offering a discount of 33% off of its standard  pricing.

I was told the pricing for .com, .net, and .org domain names is as follows for the next 3 days only:

• .COM for $7.29
• .NET for $9.29
• .ORG for $9.96

The special offer applies to inbound transfers to Uniregistry as well as new registrations. It does not look like renewals for domain names already registered at Uniregistry are included in this special offer. I was told that there is a cap of  50 domain names per account.

It’s been quite some time since I have seen the cost for .com registrations and transfers this low, although the registration/transfer costs are not high on my radar given the small domain portfolio (around 500 names) that my company owns.
