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.

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

Your $7.95 -> $7.95 (anytime) + $7.95 (renewal) = $15.90
Doesn't compute in my book.

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 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?
