Surely you mean 10USD per year? If you are paying that per month just for the domain you are being ripped off :)

Correct, I meant per year

Sure, but that would add up to $1200 in a decade of hosting which is substantial and the timespan one'd likely run it for. People buy a $1k PC every 5 years and consider it a large expense, why not this?

I can find it for much lower though, like $8/year? Then again that's on namecheap who then raise rates when you go in to renew lol.

The site is already being hosted, I was only talking about a domain name, so at ~$10/year or whatever it is now, that's only $100 a decade over whatever he is paying now for hosting using a free domain.

That's 10 years of benefiting from a real domain name for the cost of... a very long list of pointless $100 goods and services.

It's a couple of cents per day.

I'm sure GP meant /year, not month. Pricing's always (as far as I've ever seen) per year for one thing, but also it's not 120 (or more) unless your name's Ford or something. (Damn it.)

A .com domain for US$10 per *month*? That doesn't round right, it's not even that per year.
