Register.com is giving away domain names… well, one per person. I got an email this morning with the offer, and I was able to claim a name.
Why would Register.com do this? To get more customers of course. They could have done domain name front running like Network Solutions, but that would have given them a hefty legal bill for a class-action lawsuit as well. Register.com charges more per domain name than other registrars, and also offers many add-on services such as hosting. But not everybody shops solely on price, and Register.com may be the way to go for you, or at least for one domain name.
