The Mexican History.
In Mexico there is a monopoly called NIC Mexico, the only .MX domain name registrar since the beginning of internet in Mexico. Since 1989, the number of .MX domain has grown to almost a 220,000 active domain names right now.

The price for a .MX domain name is set by NIC Mexico to $35.00 USD, a price that is really expensive compared with other countries. You can make a cheap domain name registration for less than $9.99 USD with many registrars and as low as $6.99 with GoDaddy.com, and in Argentina for example, the domain names .com.ar are totally free, so domain name prices in Mexico are not cheap in any way.

Almost a GoDaddy.com Slogan.
GoDaddy.com says “A domain name is a domain name everywhere. Why pay more?”, and that’s a fact. They have a comparative table announcing low prices against Register.com, Network Solutions.com and eNom.com, companies that sell domain names in $35.00 dollars.

GoDaddy.com is well known all over the globe for being a cheap domain name registration company, and frequently they offer .com domain names for as low as $1.99 USD buying some other extra services like web hosting, reseller accounts or dedicated servers.

What could have seen Godaddy.com in the .MX domain names?
GoDaddy.com will start to sell .MX domain names for a low price of $15.00 USD for the first year, but renewal prices will cost exactly the same price in Mexico, $35.00 USD, a good strategy is to register your domain name for 2 or more years, this way you save some money.

GoDaddy.com also offers to transfer any .com.MX domain name with them for $35.00 USD and you get an extra free year. GoDaddy.com will start to sell .MX domain names starting September 1 of this year, this is the domain name price list.

The Economic crisis problem.
NIC Mexico was selling the type of domain names “MyCompany.com.MX” but now they will start to sell again “MyCompany.MX” domain names. This will cause a big problema for all tiny companies because “crisis” is really a problem in Mexican economy. Now all companies that have .com.MX domain name will have to buy an extra .MX domain name if they want to preserve their names free of competitors or piracy, so the annual cost now will be increased to $70.00 USD for each domain name, a price out of reality, this fact converts to GoDaddy.com in a good option to buy .MX domain and some extra products to save money.

Marketing is the word for GoDaddy.com
GoDaddy.com is a big company with a big marketing strategy, GoDaddy.com is also well known because the promo codes they offer. GoDaddy.com uses pay per click advertising, you can find frequently promo codes in e-mail marketing strategies, more promo codes in GoDaddy.com blogs. Image sells, what to say about the GoDaddy.com Girls and half time commercials in the super bowl.

Yahoo Logo

I used to buy Yahoo domain names as cheap as $1.99 dollars for the first year registration, after that, the renewal price for a Yahoo domain name was an affordable $ 9.90 each year. But those days are gone away. Since this month Yahoo has increased the domain name prices to $34.95 dollars for one year renewal as you can see in red boxes that show $34.95 for renewals and $9.00 if you want a private registration.

I agree that prices can suffer an increment with the time, but change from $9.90 to $34.95 it’s a 353% increment. What is the strategy behind this movement? Recover what Microsoft offered for the company? That’s too much for a domain name.

GoDaddy Domain names King say, “A domain name is a domain name wherever you register it”, and that’s true. But what’s the difference of having a domain name with Yahoo?

Since my point of view, besides working with security and the Yahoo brand itself, what I like about Yahoo Domains is the control panel, it’s complete and you can change easily whatever you want with no pains, like forward your domain, manage advanced DNS settings, lock and unlock your domain, set up an email account and even create a starter web page. Other systems are complex and for an average user it could be a difficult task to change settings. The next image shows the Yahoo Domain Name Control Panel.

Domain name prices change from time to time, that’s logical. An example, GoDaddy domain names are also suffered a little increment in prices recently from $ 8.95 to $ 9.95, that’s a reasonable price and you can have several extras with your domain name, but administrating the system is not as easy as Yahoo control panel for an average user.

Domain names are the heart & soul of a web page, if your domain name goes, everything else disappear immediately, and I mean everything, e-mail accounts content, your whole website and your brand will suffer all the consequences. So be careful with your web page heart. Renew a domain name with anticipation and make it also for several years if you are planning to stay online for a while . If for some reason you lose it or forget to make the renewal, you have the priority over it and approximately 45 days to recover it before some else try to grab it.

If you are trying to register a domain name for the first time, take in count these 5 advices.

1.- Try to register a .com domain name
2.- Keep it short and understandable as possible. An example. www.eFlowers.com
3.- Search engines results are based in keywords, use them in your domain name with no abuse. Anothe example www.FloridaPorfessionalPainting.com
4.- Search engines also rank web pages based in your TLD country. If your company is based in the United States and you are trying to export to Europe grab a .EU domain name, you will have a mayor exposure.
5.- Do not use hyphens or numbers. It will more difficult to spell it or write it

Finally a YouTube video with some tech talk about domain names registration that can be useful.
