Yeah, cheap but they’re a pain to deal with. They’ll require you to fill out forms and fax back to them. I’d rather pay Fabulous.com $6.75, than waste my time filling out forms, faxing them, and confirming that Exabyte’s received them.

For those who are curious, here’s the text:

“As part of our efford to prevent Internet Frauds and protect our online customers, kindly complete the attached CC Auth Form and fax this document together with both sides of your credit card and driving license to +604-6308288 or scan and email to billing@exabytes.com. For enquiries, please email billing@exabytes.com. If no response received within the next 48 Hours, your order will be voided automatically and the payment made will be refunded back to your Credit Card.”

Their admin console is buggy, too. I registered two domain names, but had to create one account for each. Not worth it I think.

Yes Wahlau.NET, a legit domain registration company will always allow you to transfer out the domain after 60 days.

Can we transfer them out after 1 year?

RM0.99 first year, RM55.99 the next year and I suppose it stays the same for the subsequent years.

Well, you can transfer the domain out to some other domain registras after the first 60 days (based on ICANN policy) with Exabytes, if you afraid the price skyrockets.

my concern as well, if they skyrocket the price in the 3rd year, there is nothing the subscriber could do…
