Saving Money for Domain Farmers

What the hell is a domain farmer

I don't know, I just made it up, but I'll give it a crack. A domain farmer is well... crops, livestock... domains, get it? You plant your seeds or raise your livestock, you draw from that, either seed or babies, to raise the next crop. Okay, now that that is settled, let's move on.

First off, Registrars.

I can only speak from my own experience here and right off the bat I am going to say show GoDaddy some live. GoDaddy is the only domain registrar that I have ever used that really and truly let's its users do whatever is needed, including transferring domain owenership very easily, unlike some other companies out there... (ahem... Network Solutions)

Bulk vs. Single Purchases

I prefer to buy my domains one at a time rather than joinding the bulk discount group with Godaddy, mostly because I am a bit lazy and more importantly impulsive. However, if you choose to go the same route I highly suggest you do a quick seach for Godaddy Promo codes before checking out. At this very moment I know you can use the following codes

OYH3 - $3 off / $6.95 any .COM
BTPS7 - 20% any order of $50 or more
OYH1 - 10% off whatever
OYH2 - $5 off a $30 purchase
BTPS4 - 10% off anything
chill1 - 10% off
chill2 - $5 off $30
chill3 - $6.95 .coms
hash1 - 10% off
hash2 - $5 off $30
hash3 - $6.95 .com registration
gdd1101c - 10% off any order of $40 or more

Next.. Hosting

This will take a bit longer to tackle I hope you'll settle for the short advice until I have the time to write a full article on it. Get more space than you need.
