Where are you getting domains for $2 per year?

GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 5 months agoYou can make QR codes that copy text to a clipboard right? Can’t you just make it a DOI search term? Or pay $2/yr for a redirect domain that you can point to where you want later

Namecheap xyz domains are less than $3 after tax for the first year. Subsequent years are around $10.

That’s not really $2 per year. Info domains used to be dirt cheap, but even those are pretty expensive after the first year now.

You can get word-vomit domains that are made for QR/imbedded links. No human is typing those out and they do nothing for SEO, so they’re a pittance.

.xyz Domains that are just numbers are $1 per year. and netcup has a deal a few times a year that prices .de domains at 1,30€ per year.

Sure, but that $2/yr company goes out of business after 10 years and the QR code stops working.
I guess making the number just copy into your clipboard would be a decent option, but you can also just copy/paste text from images now, so why go through the trouble of QR coding it when that only makes sense to a computer?

Even if your registrar goes out of business ICANN will help you restore the domain with a new registrar.
Source it happened to one of my customers.

A numerical .xyz domain costs less than a dollar a year and you can make as many links as you want.
Serinus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It costs less than a dollar for the first year. After that, who knows.
The plain text is much more reliable than any url.

This is from the registrar itself.
