What factors should I consider before buying any one of their packages. Frankly I don't have enough money, Help me decide with your wise advice on this please. Thanks
None of those. I go with Gandi.net
Check them out. They are good people and give back. Never anything but great experiences with Gandi.
You'll get a free year of ssl certificate and 50% off hosting. But, to really do it on the cheap, get a BeagleBoard Black and a free micro instance with AWS to route traffic to the BBB, which you just run at home. One time cost of 35$ish plus domain registration costs.
Also worth noting, going with a company like Gandi over GoDaddy has many non-immediate and intangible bennifits. A simple Google search on customer problems and company practices of GoDaddy should provide lots of material. In the long run, you don't want to have to be dealing with headaches surrounding domain registration. At all. That should be fire-and-forget. Pay the extra $5 or $10, you'll save yourself plenty of frustration and extra admin time going with the right registrar.
My current strategy is to ping pong my domain names between GoDaddy and NameCheap, using coupon codes as much as possible. I don't particularly care for either company, and I think that both are still too expensive, but I don't have an alternative at the moment that I am aware of.

Not always the cheapest, but they're dependable, they're in the EU and they have a very, very broad selection. The latter is important because I have a fairly eclectic mix of domain names and I'm happy to pay a premium so I don't have to deal with 3 different registrars.
