Every few months, it seems that Yahoo runs a intro-promo where your first domain is $1.99,
a great way to start if you're just doing one, or needing to cut costs off a bunch of 'em.
I was disappointed with their bundled services though -- advise avoidance with the extras...

there is a certain amount of CYA in the legalese mostly because they
don't want to be liable for __anything__.

That said,  I've moved my purchasing to Yahoo Small Business for new
domains as their prices are reasonable and I perceive them to be fair
and reliable. (modulo some idiocy with volunteering to help corrupt
chinese bureaucrats harass journalists and bloggers)
