I bought a domain today at 1and1.com for $0.99, but they basically forced me to make an "instant domain" account. If I wanted to add it onto my existing hosting, I would have had to pay the full $9.99.
It's pretty useless to me, since there's no hosting attached to it, and I can't change the dns records name servers, only the ANAME and point it to a specific ip address (127.0.0.1), which I don't have because my main 1and1 account is shared hosting not dedicated, EC2, static ip, or whatnot. I'm not upset, since I was going to let it more or less sit there for a good amount of time either way, but I guess I'll be transferring the domain from one account into the other, in 11 months. :shot: Anyway, even after being a loyal customer for about 5 years, they're still verifying the account I just added on to my old one, and the purchase of the domain is pending. lol
