There may be hosting companies and/or registrars offering cheaper domain registrations, but I am not aware of any in the 32 counties.

Cheapest domains I've seen ever and from a fairly reliable well known company. .com's are currently $5 I think

Not so positive.

They're selling those domain names at a loss of a buck to pull in more business, which is really annoying for people that host with them. How many people that buy doms for a fiver are going to take a dedicated server? All they're doing is hurting their existing customers. Robert Marsh can shove his servers up his arse, I'm moving out of their at the first available opportunity.

(Did I mention that RackShack hosts StormFront?)

Not here - but I saw it elsewhere, plus I knew anyway.

Of course they are offering them at a loss in order to get more business, but in common with so much of the US market the prices involved are silly - so silly that it surprises me that they can pay ANY staff at all

Dont you offer .ie's at a loss nighty? Or are you just getting them at a better price than others?

I make a loss when I give a free domain with hosting, to be honest adam is right what 5 buck domain customer is going to buy a server from rackshack and actually keep it. The odd one or two. Robert Marsh has made some bad choices time and time again however you got to hand it to him on his pricing however for a new person starting out I would not send them to rackshack due to the lack of support if you have a steady hand with linux and read into their policys before making mistakes they can be a good decent host are for me however I am sorry I have so much which them at this point and I didnt keep things more local.

We don't get preferential prices from the IEDR, but we aren't making a loss either.

The IEDR charge €50 for a .ie domain, and the price decreases slightly with volume (ie: 1000 domains plus)

Yeah thats the price we are getting plus the VAT of coarse, I thought Mr Night was getting a better deal than all of us when I saw he had domains for 45 yoyos.

Was getting worried there.
