Post your comments about using the free .tk address for your website...

Good for a site which your not that commited to, but for just $8 why not get a .com or something?

Unless your like me and mike and are 13, hardly got any money, and saving up for a server...

What happend to GawMir Forums... I liked posting in them...

Well my age doesn't really affect me, as I make enough money from one of my sites (that I don't want to name).

Oh and those forums, I just got rid of everything - it was too big a project.

The only thing about being under 18 is that you'll need a credit card to buy a domain, so you're parents have to be willing to let you use it

. Or else, you can find a registrar that accepts checks/MO.

Doesn't .tk put your site in a frame and display a popup banner? I find that really annoying

.. a TLD is definitely one of the best investments you can make for a site, and it's cheap too!

IMO, I think .tk is more for the 'newbie'-user. If you're serious about your site, even just a personal site, you should get a .com/.net/.org...etc.

I was 13 when I got my first domain. No problems. Didn't even have to use a CC or anything.

Now I'm 15, and I own a reseller account at eNom (currently not yet in use) and a namecheap account. I'm buying and selling domains all the time. And, without a CC

Well I turned 18 a few months ago, so I have a credit card now..

But I'm just interested in how you pay for your domains?

Also Kings, how much is it for a reseller account at eNom please?

**Kings** · 08-25-2003, 09:42 AM

I got it for free (no fees to setup). It's a $8.95 reseller account. It was completely free, however, to actually register domains, the account has to have a minimum $100 balance.

If you want a reseller account, go to NamePros and contact a member named biggie and he will set it up for you.

With money

I've got a PayPal account, registered under my parents name (they also use it, for eBay). eNom also accepts wire transfers and checks, fwiw.
