123 Domains is dedicated
to offering you as the Registrant (domain name owner) the lowest available
prices for domain name registrations. The formation of 123 Domains is
primarily a reaction to our distaste (as Registrant's ourselves) to
the past and present domain name industry circumstances as described
below.
Over the last several
years all domain name registrations have been controlled by a monopolistic
and slow moving InterNIC. In 1999 the federal Government after much
debate disbanded this outdated monopoly and allowed competition to enter
the market. Historically prices for domain name registration were set
between $70.00 and $119.00 US for two years of registration service.
Many companies charged fees up to $79.00 in addition to this just for
processing a registration application. Today companies are still charging
these rates even though there is no longer any governmental benchmark
price control to justify these prices. We found these practices and
pricing schedules to be astronomical and thus formed 123 Domains to
offer Registrant's real value when registering a domain name.
123 Domains was
formed specifically to bring the Registrant complete domain name registration
services at the best possible price. 123 Domains because our massive
buying power through an ICANN accredited Registrar is able to negotiate special agreements and offer discounted domain name registrations. We are proud
to offer such significant saving to the Registrant for the registration
of top level domain names.
We believe our
service to be of the highest standards and of the lowest prices consistent
with those standards. 123 Domains strives to offer you as the Registrant
the easiest, fastest and least expensive domain name registration services
that are globally available.
