    Renewal of a .org and .com domain = $36.42?!

    Hello,
    A year ago I have ordered two domains - one .org and one .com. As I heard that Godaddy was possibly the best ISP out there, I decided to go with them.
    So I bought these domains - I also added Private registration service for these too. The total spent was $11 IIRC - there was some kind of offer or whatever.

    I would like to renew, but I don't seem to understand why does the private service registration renewal adds on?! I thought it was only once-off thing for the domain, but it does not look like that.
    So here, I would be paying $18 for both domains to be renewed, but magically - I get extra private registrations added on - what's the deal? I can't remove them!!
    What should I do?
    I don't want to spend this much on an $18 or really - lower deal.
    Any help is appreciated, thank you!

    Sounds about right. $9.25 renewal, $6.99 privacy x 2 domains = $32.48. Look closely at you billing. You probably paid $8.95 for the privacy. That's not surprising since Godaddy are constantly changing that price.

    I reckon there should be an options in their control panel to cancel "additional services"

    Contact Godaddy support and tell them You dont want to have it any more.
    I guess they will then remove it or tell You how You can cancel it.

    If not You could also transfer Your domain to a different registrar.
