Their domain names aren’t a particularly good value; even before factoring in the cost of WHOIS privacy protection, they charge more than places like Namesilo and Porkbun, who both include privacy protection in their base prices.

Ikea sells rebranded Eneloop Pros for only $6.99 for a 4-pack, so if you live near one, you can save 50% off this sale price. Even if you were to order from the Ikea website and pay $10 for shipping, you’d still come out ahead.
