Guys, I am looking for a good website where I could buy a couple domains for my future projects, so I am interested in the cheapest price and also can you give me tips on how to keep them properly so I wont lose them, I guess its called parking.
I am scrolling different registers rn and I don't understand what will be the price after the first year to renew them, so I am scared of crazy price changes.
 
you can find cheap prices here:

These days it's also Black Friday + Cyber Monday and most domain registrars and hosting companies offer great discounts, I'm pretty sure that whichever site you're going to buy domains from over the next 3-4 days you're going to get amazing deals... well, for the 1st year at least :D

And yeah, renewal costs are scary sometimes, I've fallen for this trick myself so you need to keep an eye on this :p ... Usually, though, the big domaining / hosting companies do have a "renewal and transfer prices" page somewhere, you just have to look it up on their site and consult it.

For example, for Namesilo (where I buy most of my domains), if you click on their pricing page (namesilo.com/pricing) and then you click on the renewal tab as shown in this image, you can see the renewal costs for your TLD:

I don't know what you mean by "keep them properly", though... Once you buy a domain (well, rent it, technically, since you never own that domain unless you keep renewing it) you can let it sit idle in your account for as long as you want. If you want to park it you can do that too, I suppose... Parking is meant to generate some revenue for your domains if you "park" them with certain companies, but in my experience parking is not worth it because the revenue is very low and you'd have to have great domain names in order to make good money with parking. I think it's much better to just use the domains, just put a website on them and promote it / SEO it and you can make more money than with parking
 
thank you m8, I have a couple more questions, so I decided to buy a domain via namecheap and it asks for my personal information (address, name, etc.).
If I'll use my details, they will keep my information private?
Or it could be seen on google by typing in my domain name who is the owner and all of the personal details.
I want to avoid it.

no company ever keeps your information private. If the FBI / government ask them to snitch on you they will, or else they get to jail / get beaten up. That's the world we live in...

They might keep your info private from other users / people, though. As long as it's not the authorities that want to see your info you might be safe...

This being said, I have never given my real information to any domaining / hosting company, so you can probably fill in bogus data and they won't care.

if you buy whois privacy (which is free in Namesilo, by the way), google might not be able to see who owns the domain. But - again - I'm saying "might" instead of "will not" because google's power is huge, and if they really want to see who owns a domain they have ways of finding out.

But, in what concerns google, you're a random nobody, they won't care about you, your domains, or your business, so don't stress too much about this type of privacy :)

I read about faking my identity and details and many people say that it's not smart for potentially big projects domains.
You can easily lose access to your domain with fake info, what do you think about this?

I've never lost access to my sites / domains, but then again I've never had big projects either, so I don't know what to say

Cheapest isn't always the best. Better pay some instead of facing difficulties in future. Namecheap is good, renowned registrar. Go with that ! Customer support is also good .

And domain parking is using your unused domains for advertising purpose and make money from it.

The Website is very good, thanks brother :)
 
rightnow you can get a lot of good deals for blackfriday for cheap domains i.e. at namecheap. however thats only for the first year, so you have to pay attention.
what can be the renewal price for namecheap for example?
Yes, they have a promo code rn -50%, but I am scared of big gaps in prices, for example if its 10$ for the first year - 50% with promo and then after the 1st year I am ready to pay 10-20$ again for it, but not 50-200$
I read scary stuff about renewal prices around 100-200$, like how...

Usually it should say renews at....
I use namecheap since 5 years now and they always have written it.

it depends on the TLD, but namechreap is open about it. you can see the renewal price there before purchase.

it doesnt show "renewal" but I can see "retail/yr" is it the same as renewal?
