The renewal price warning is the most useful part, since some newer TLDs renew at several times the promo price and the first year discount is gone after twelve months. Checking whether WHOIS privacy and DNS hosting are included at renewal, not just in year one, helps too. Turning on transfer lock and auto renew right after purchase avoids losing a good name to an expired card.
