Been looking around for upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday Week deals on the Internet on various sites from different countries.

Found this nice Black Friday deal for .tech domains. For a payment for 49.99 USD you can get a .tech domain of your choice for 10 years! If you pre-register now you get additional 10% off.

I think WHOIS protection is free?! Not sure. Sale starts on Black Friday the 23rd November 2018.

Whoever doesn't need 10 years can get one year for just 2.99 USD . 5 years for 29.99 USD.

Is this a good domain that we can use for SEO? They have a free domain for students,
I have one in my hand and not using it for business purpose.

Actually, even without Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Indonesians can get .tech only $2 in first year, their website also support credit card and paypal.

Here it is: https://niagahoster.com
Niagahoster is actually a child of Hostinger Indonesia,
People will say Niagahoster is ugly, bad, etc, it's only their hosting and VPS services, but for domain, it should not be a problem. As you only need to set your NS, and you go.

Domains extensions really doesn't matter anymore. As long as you do proper internal and external seo plus quality content you can rank. You don't even have to have the main keyword in domain anymore. So these new extensions can make really catchy brand names and also you can use those to rank well in Google.

Only problem with these new extensions are the renewal fees.

Renewal can kick you in the gut, since theses extensions are new their renewal prices are oof. So I suggest stick with mainstream one unless either they go down in prices or just go with it if you have the money and doing a business. Although I suggest using two words extensions like .io .me and other to make it look modern and so

@Littlemaster I think it will do but ofcourse if you really go for SEO ranking better go famous .com domain.

@tiwil Though first year cost cheaper, the twist here is the renewal fee (this may differ from different registrar). If you do the math $49.99 for 10 years is really a good deal.

[tiwil]

@Vuluts,
Yep, agree.
Actually, I'm talking about outside Black Friday.
In the first year, you can get $2 (Rp 15.000 = $1), while in the next year, you should pay Rp 520.000, which is only $34.6 USD.

While outside Niagahoster, I find it's about $49 in Namecheap, $38 in Namesilo, Godady with $69.99, or inside get.tech itself, it's $49.99 (isn't it?).
So actually better to use Niagahoster for this .tech domain, as it also support Paypal, VISA, and Mastercard.

Domains with those expensive renewals! Never made them into some useful thing. They are good for testing things, not bad to pay around few cents for them.

[Vuluts]

@tiwil Buying the domain directly from registry cost cheaper than buying from registrar, but the advantage of buying from registrar is that they offer other services and can easily connect with your domain without hastle.
