It costs nothing and you only pay if they get the domain for you. . . yes godaddy and others do this but those 3 have the best success rates. Do all 3 too . If you do it at 1 and not the others the likelihood is that one of the others will get the domain and you're out of luck.

I've seen sites like Godaddy.com offer that up. @Eric & Randy – thanks for the clarification

I need this in order to re-purchase a domain that I accidentally let expire, and now it is in the 32-40 day holding period in which nobody can purchase it. I won't to know the minute it becomes available so I can buy it before anybody else snags it. I have yet to find a service that does what I described. Thanks.

(I'm one of the folks behind Domainr.) Agreed about the .nr reg process - it's probably one of the most un-user-friendly experiences I've ever had on the web. Wiring $ to Australia then sending a followup email was a tad frightening, but it all worked out - we heard back from them in < 24 hours. Get in touch with us via email or GetSatisfaction if you've got any questions/ideas for Domainr, we'd love to hear from you! Cheers, -Eric Thanks for the kind words, and for the linkage!

We’re working with them—as well as a bunch of other registrars—to improve the user experience. Showing pricing information for each TLD/SLD is something we’d like to do. @Geaks:

It would be better to make the pricing more prominent especially since most Internet users would not be knowledgeable about buying anything outside the usual .com/.net/.org domains. ps. That is an excellent pick for a domain :) @Geakz: Agree.

Just a follow up to my earlier post, as I received an email back from the Australian registrar. They pointed me to the following URL for their pricing: http://www.cenpac.net.nr/dns/index.html They assumed I had been pointed to that page. My initial point still stands; that a pricing link does not appear on every page of their site. They assumed I would follow a certain navigation route which would bring me to said pricing. But http://domai.nr sent me to a *different* registration page, circumnavigating the cost of goods. Pricing aside, would you not agree that the basics of an e-commerce site would be a common header showing a FAQ's page, site map and prominent links to pricing? Something obviously missing here. There of course is no obligation for me to purchase the domain name and I was told it was deleted. [This was not attempt to underscore another one of your excellent, resourceful articles, just an effort to point out my journey once I hyper-linked myself away from your site!] And by the way, the domain name I was attempting to register? "nobrai.nr" Irony at it's best *and* it's still available! Hi James. Just a follow up to my earlier post, as I received an email back from the Australian registrar.

Basic .com domains may cost 10 bucks, but even in Malaysia it costs USD40 for a .my domain. I did a quick search on Nauru (.nr domain) and prices ranged all the way from USD200 to Euro 500 - so while the price on Domai.nr is high, I don't think it is a rip off by any means. Domai.nr may not provide you the best deals, but as a domain discovery service, it works well. My recommendation would be to use Domai.nr to find the domain name, and then go shopping around for the best price/service. Thanks Rajeev and A Dawn.

In fact I located a domain name with the '.nr' ending that was available and I followed a link to register that name. After filling out and submitting a form (with no pricing for the process seen anywhere), I received an email saying the name chosen had been submitted for registration and that I should wire $500.00 US to a bank in Australia. "Whoa!" says me and I promptly emailed them back canceling my submission sighting the abnormally high industry pricing for a domain name. Anyone else gone through this?
