So my romance with exotic domains continues. First it was a .US domain. Which sadly i couldn’t register as one has to be a USA resident. O well i managed to get it anyways thanks to a friend…
Next up on my list was an .at domain, top level domain (ccTLD) for Austria.
The hunt for a affordable registrar started. Looking at the prices on the various registrars and converting them in INR gave me a mini heart attack. The range was as high as 72Euro to 7.99Euro! Some registrars allowed just one year of registration, which kinda sucks.
After going through a couple of registrars i finally narrowed down on eurodns.com. They have a offer running which gives you insane discount and an .at domain will set you back by just 7.99Euro. And to top it all it allows you to register it for upto 10 years!
Sadly my Visa card from two different banks didn’t work. I will have to call them and ask why. Luckily eurodns.com accepts American Express… and viola in less then 5 min i had registered my .at domain.
Some registrars you can check out
- Godadddy 59.99$
- Marcaria 31$
- 1domain 15Euro
- abaton 15Euro
- EuroDNS 7.99Euro [Special Promo Price]
- NTChosting 25$
- NIC 72Euro
You can also get a list of .at registrars from here
If i had not got such a good offer i don’t think i would have gone ahead and bought the domain. A bit of research/patience helps… and as i have said it previously, nothing like owning a fantastic domain!

Hey Kunal, Hows Bigrock for registering some domain? Do you think .in domain registration (minus hosting) for 5 yrs at Rs. 2200 is the correct amount or is it too expensive?

hmm its a good price! considering the way the value of a $ is going up, i would suggest go and book the domain now…
