I just saw that Godaddy now lowered their standard domain prices for com net org to 8.70$/year

but i think this seems to be a "sale" again ?

what the hell is that :

* Plus ICANN fee of 25 cents per domain name year. Certain TLD's only


:eek: :confused:

That tidbit you saw might have something to do with this (http://www.icann.org/financials/budget-fy04-05-06oct04.html) .

Sale, smhale! Everyone loves a sale! :D

Just wait 'til they find out what happens if they don't conform to
Go Daddy's standards...

$8.70* plus .25 ICANN fee = marketing ploy = normal price = $8.95

Wow! That was an interesting link to ICANN's budget, DaveZan. ICANN is almost doubling their budget from $8.3 MILLION dollars to $15.3 MILLION dollars!

You can't even get them to respond to an email, but they are spending almost $2.5 MILLION dollars on an outreach program for "Ensuring, on a global basis, an opportunity for participation in the ICANN process by all interested parties." :eek:

Talk about milking the masses and building another grandiose bureaucracy... :(

just a trick by godaddy to give the impression of lower prices. I imagine other registrars might try to copy them.

You're welcome, 4solutions. And oh, I meant sale, shmale! :)

Speaking of which, I once emailed ICANN about their new transfer
policies. Believe it or not, they replied after almost a month. :D

The sale price comes to the same price for a domain name with the 25 cent ICANN fee.

Yes, now they are selling domains with $.25 separated from the domain price. Apparently this will last till the end of November, then it will be again old price + ICANN fee. So hurry up if you want to save $.25 per domain year...;)

what a trick :D

there been always ICANN fees, why no one played this trick earlier heheit just got raised!
