Yahoo is having a $2.99 domain sale. I didn’t even realize that the $1.99 sale had ended, but $2.99 is still pretty good–especially since you can pay for 5 years at that price.

I’m not sure if they’re limiting it to 1 domain per Yahoo ID like last time, but I’m pretty sure they don’t limit how many Yahoo IDs you can have, if that turns out to be the case.

For those that are scared by the low price, I’ve dealt with them before and yes, you own the domain and you can host it where ever you want.  Once it’s activated, just login and point the nameservers where ever you want.

It looks like the old Namecheap coupon expired, but here’s a new one that seems to do the same thing: EVENLOWER

I just renewed a .com domain at $7.99 with it, instead of the usual $8.88, so it works.  Enjoy!

It appears that Dotster.com will have $1 domain registrations at 4:00 PM EST–for one hour. From what I’ve read, it looks like you can register multiple domains at that price, but only one at a time. Not sure if there are any catches/fine print, but I guess we’ll find out in a few hours.

UPDATE: Dotster is truly pathetic. I could not register a single domain within that hour. At first, the site wouldn’t load at all. When it finally did, pages would time out, there were javascript errors–you name it, it was a problem.

They were not prepared for this at all… and I can’t help but wonder if they knew that going into it. If the way their site responded is any indication of how reliable their hosting is (which was pushed on every page that actually loaded for me), then I’d say avoid hosting with Dotster.

Even if they ran that sale again, I wouldn’t waste my time with them.

If Godaddy.com is your registrar of choice, you can enter DIGG as the promo code to save 10%.  Or, you can enter Amazon-2 to save $2 on a .com registration.

If you register your domains through Namecheap.com, entering SAVE7993 as the coupon code will knock the registration fee down from $8.88 to $7.99. I just used it today on a .com registration, but I’m guessing that it will work with other TLDs as well. I think it also lowers the price of their email service, if you’re interested in that. I have no idea if there’s an expiration date, so enjoy it while it lasts!

This site, like many out there, is running WordPress. I’ve tried others like Mambo, Joomla, TextPattern and a few other CMS solutions–but I always come back to WordPress. One of the nice things about it is how easy it is to modify, whether it’s function with plugins, or appearance with themes and styles. It’s also easy to do minor code tweaks right through the theme editor.

Save $50 when you sign up for a web hosting account at Dreamhost by entering MIKESEILER as the promo code.

UPDATE: This used to be a $97 Dreamhost promo code, but they stopped offering $97 discounts on web hosting accounts.  The same promo code will still save you $50 when you sign up, which is still a pretty good deal.
