Ask HN: Where should I look to get a domain?
I want a domain for person use, minor projects. I'd rather not pay a great deal for it. Whom do you recommend?
Renewals is where many registrars 'get' you. Prices can jump considerably.
I have had domains from many providers, the only one which ripped me off via 'dark patterns' was GoDaddy, which cost me $400 for a one year one page website and domain name.
