    oh yeah? even if they offer 99 cents per domain. i will not bite it. or ever recommend it. it's a bait especially if you're in other countries than US. they will just get your money and soon block you witout notice and support.

    I am sure some of their resellers are pissed. Undercutting their own resellers for their own benefit, typical godaddy

    Yeah, sounds like godaddy is lowering their pricing by a buck every other month. I don't see them going much lower though, and I bet this deal will last past April. They are just saying till the end of April due to marketing ploys.

    This doesn't sound good for everyone else selling domains . I might as well close my 7.95 enom account and start using godaddy. hehe

    When you renew it.
    People may also purchase other services from them.

    Why did their price drop again? Because they have been losing customers and want to keep their market share.

    Why? GD -> $6.95 (intro teaser) + $8.95 (1yr renewal) = $15.90
    Your $7.95 -> $7.95 (anytime) + $7.95 (renewal) = $15.90

    Doesn't compute in my book.

    I am inclined to agree with you. At 6.95 they are not making enough to cover a fraction of the advertising they spend. I do not know if they sell enough useless website tonights or domain snaps to cover the difference. I also notice they raise and lower their prices daily. One day their crappy homemade SSL services was 89.95 the next day it is 49.95. I does not matter anyway I will never use them again.

    Actually the dropped the buy rate for wholesalers to $6.25 (you can also sell domains for $6.95).
    So I'm not really sure what you are talking about.

    he meant the cost for godaddy resellers is $6.75 and they are undercutting their own resellers.

    But they lowered the prices for the GoDaddy resellers.
    At least they did for us.

    Our buy rate from GoDaddy is now $6.25 (for a limited time I guess).
    So I'm not really sure how they are underselling their resellers.

    Yes, they lowered the prices but they banned some countries , without noticing us.If that's the way things go...I buy the domain ,ok?Than I no longer can log into my account after I paid fopr their service.can I trust them anymore? Nope
    So I go with other registars that have the same price.

    i still think there great
    other people just hat them because they are just greedy and want the compations out of the way
    so far 45 domains with no problems for many years.

    I suppose you are from USA, no?Well, you will not have any problems, I guess.But I hate when I get baned, and almost loose my domains.Right?
    Before they did that I was also pleased with them. But this thing has beed discussed elsewhere so no need to repeat myself
    Good for them they lowered the price, right?
    As matter fo fact good for us
