Cheapest domain names

Hi all,
Anyone know the cheapest way to register a .com domain name? I don't want to pay "business" or "premium" rates... Is there a cheap, legal and effective way to do this? I'm not interested in a web hosting package where content etc is offered, but rather I would just like to own a particular .com domain name and I may develop a website later....
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Chris

    register your .com with a US company would be the cheapest. just be careful about their renewal price.

    if you want a UK based company, i think there was a offer from https://www.1and1.co.uk on .com for £4.99/year. their normal price is £8.99.

    best website to find out who is doing what and who is good is https://www.webhostingtalk.com.

    1and1.co.uk is by far the cheapest for domains, but their webhosting isnt the cheapest around.
    I host with dataflame.co.uk - Highly recommended
