Sellers

Consumers can purchase domain names from popular registrars such as GoDaddy.com or NameCheap.com. Additionally, some web hosts also provide domain registration services when the user registers for hosting. Network Solutions, for example, offers a free domain when the user purchases hosting. Individuals can sell domains they own and no longer want for prices lower than registrars charge.
Pricing
-
Domain name pricing varies by the actual domain and the domain extension --such as .com, .net or .org. Typically, the more popular the extension, the more expensive the price. As of September 2010, Go Daddy offered .net domains for just $6.99 per year while .com domains cost $9.99 annually. NameCheap offers both extensions for as low as $8.98 per year while Network Solutions sells domain names for $34.99.

Discounts
-
Consumers may be able to find discounts and coupons on coupon sites such as RetailMeNot.com or TechBargains.com or shopping communities such as FatWallet.com. Consumers may also know current customers who have coupon codes that can further reduce the price of domain registration. Registrars sometimes provide public discounts in an effort to appeal to more consumers or if a customer registers a domain for several years.
