1221220 2011-08-06 08:39:00 Godaddy who I usually get domains off is pricing them at $59.49 (USD), domainz.net.nz says 52.89... A random reseller called "Only Domains" is selling for 15.90???

Why such a massive difference in prices?

Is there a registrar you guys would recommend??

-------------------------------------------------

Slightly off topic, what is the legal status on registering a domain under a company whose name isn't registered yet?

For example, "Cato's Awesome Aqueduct Construction" - "cato-aqueduct.co.nz", however the company doesn't exist, but I plan register it in the coming months? Can I register this kinda of domain??

1221222 2011-08-06 09:13:00 You can register any .nz domain you want (except for protected suffixes like .govt.nz, .mil.nz etc.). You don't have to have a company, or anything like that. Right now, you could register "cato-pressf1.co.nz" for example if you wanted.

I've used:
DiscountDomains
Domains4Less
Hosting Direct
(in that order) for .nz domains before, and haven't found much difference between them.

That's more expensive than Only Domains at 19.90 + GST... Weird.

Having had a look...

Discount Domains = 27.95 + GST.
Domains4Less = 19.95 + GST

More strangeness. I think I will go for the cheapest one. :)

We don't need hosting.
