Good domain offers

After doing some more research I found the following offers for new domain name registrations, just remember that ICANN rules forbids transfer of a newly registered domain for the first 60 days, so use those offers to register, set a calendar alarms 61 days ahead and then in two months transfer to your preferred domain registrar.

Some addresses appear to have some affiliation id included. Those are not mine, I found the links online and if someone here don't want to credit some unknown dude's account, feel free to experiment to edit those out. I didn't worry about it.

Register * com - free,
if you have a valid CC, you get one domain, one year, totally free. You just have to click the box asking if you have a small business. Price year two is $35, so remember to transfer away.
register * com/promo/acquisitions_8772090537.rcmx?trkID=SEMJ78Vw4W

Yahoo * com, $1.99
Yahoo Small business will give you one address for one year for only $1.99. One per Yahoo account, and only new customers, so you cannot have had an address with them before. Also note that price year 2 is 9.95, so remember to transfer away.
smallbusiness.yahoo * com/domains/?p=BESTDEAL&s_affiliate=dm_acq_dmlinks_20081101&AI D=10569672&PID=2394160&SID=google_yahoo_domain_spe cial

Netfirms * com, $5.95 with free private registration included
Netfirms have an offer which seems semi-permanent, you can register 5 domains, with free private registration, for the very attractive price $5.95 per domain and year. No bulk tool, but once your first name is entered and searched for, you just scroll down a bit and there have the ability to enter your next domain name, and then repeat the process. Renewal is $9.95 so also here, remember to transfer away. After purchase, you need to go into the control panel and for each domain choose to ENABLE domain privacy by hand, it is not on by default.

Godaddy * com, $6.99, with possible free private registration
The place where only fools pay the listed price, everyone else do a quick Google search as there are discount codes for almost everything. Register a minimum of five domains with the bulk tool and you can add free private registration at check out.

Then of course a lot of hosting companies offer free domains in combination with a hosting package but I decided to leave those out, as it would just complicate the matter. Anyways, I'm sure there are others which I have completely missed, I didn't have all day but feel that I have given it a thourough enough research to feel confident enough to post it here. So if it is any help to anyone, be my guest.
