Cloudflare, the cheapest place to buy domains online
0:03
So I know I created a video a couple weeks back about Porkbun, where we're currently
0:07
purchasing our domains. And I plan to create videos about Cloudflare because up until recently, you could transfer
0:13
your domain to Cloudflare and they would charge you no fee on top of what the domain actually charged
0:19
So they receive no profit from letting you transfer your domain from wherever it was to Cloudflare
0:24
But to purchase a domain, it wasn't available with Cloudflare. At least that's what I thought
0:28
You might be familiar with Cloudflare when you go to a large website and you see a screen
0:32
like this come up. Basically, Cloudflare is making sure you're not a hacker or something else
0:37
It's safe to allow you to view whatever website it is. So we've been using SamCart for all of our sales pages for a couple of months now
0:44
And to set up a custom domain using SamCart, you see here's kind of a step by step process
0:48
Whatever domain you have, get set up with Cloudflare and use their free plan
0:52
So you can get extra security, the SSL certificate, things like that, all with a free plan with
0:58
Cloudflare to use for the DNS to connect your websites and things like that
1:02
So I got that all set up for SamCart. And that's where I found out that you could transfer your domains at no extra cost
1:08
And then I go to make this video. And lo and behold, they recently launched the ability to purchase domains as well
1:15
So this isn't something you're going to see advertised anywhere because they make zero dollars from it
1:19
So you can see, for example, here's the press release they put out when they first started
1:23
offering domains for their clients. You see fair pricing, transparency, security first
1:29
And here's kind of what the pricing looks like. So you can see this is quite a bit less than even Porkbun that we did the video about a
1:36
couple of weeks ago. So they always like to do stuff on their birthday week. So you can see this was September 27th
1:43
And then here, registrars for everyone on the 28th of this month
1:47
And so I didn't come across this until just today. And so I wanted to create this video showing you that this is a place where they're going
1:53
to charge you no fees. They're not making any money. This is what the domain cost for them
1:58
And that's we're going to charge you. So you can see here's talks a little bit about domains, where we started doing just transfer
2:05
as it wasn't enough and registering a new domain that they launched about a month ago
2:11
So here you can see the prices for a bunch of different types of domains
2:15
And then you can see what's next. So if the domain that you're looking for isn't currently available with Cloudflare, it's
2:22
probably coming soon. So there's 40 coming soon. In the next few months, there's going to be all these other ones
2:28
So just to show you how Cloudflare works. So if you go to their homepage, it's going to look something like this under solutions
2:34
You can see register or transfer a website. And then if you click on register now, so we already have an account
2:41
It may ask you to create account to even see the pricing, which is a little bit different
2:45
than most of the other domain registrars. But believe me, it's worth it because this is the cheapest place
2:51
You're not earning anything from doing this and then buy domains. And then if we put in the fig, go and hit enter, you can see the pricing for a bunch
3:01
of different domain options. And then down somewhere here is the dot com
3:06
Only $8.57 to purchase for the first year and all years into the future are going to
3:13
cost whatever it costs them to to purchase as a wholesaler. To give you the example of pork bun, the same thing, dot com, $9.13
3:24
Let's see what other one do we want to check out? Maybe there are .org
3:28
Yeah, .org. So renews at 1072. And what does it cost for .org
3:35
Just 1011 every year. The difference between this and pork bun, pork bun is making, I think, 56 cents for
3:42
dot com demands. It's not a ton of money. But hey, if you're looking for the cheapest option, check out Cloudflare
3:48
And again, in case you forgot how much more expensive an option like GoDaddy is
3:52
So 80 cents per month, not per year. OK, so you can see
4:00
Get it for a penny now. Interesting. If for the first year with a two year registration
4:05
Anyways, let's add this to the cart and you can see how much it really costs
4:09
So $19 because you see what will happen is if we go to just one year, it's going to renew
4:15
at essentially $19 plus privacy and things like that. Or both with pork bun and with Cloudflare
4:22
You don't pay anything for any of the privacy protection. So I'll put links down below in the description to purchasing domain with Cloudflare to some
4:29
of their press releases and kind of their view on why this shouldn't be something that
4:34
there should be so much kind of mystery and deception of how much is actually going to
4:38
cost and have the like cheap price year one and then raise the price for all the years
4:43
in the future. So if you want to learn more about building your website, we have a whole bunch of other
4:47
videos to help you with that. I'll link to the playlist right here. Hope to see you in those and future videos.
