    Verisign raising prices ... again

    Had not read it yet here ...

    On July 1, 2010, VeriSign (the registry for .COM and .NET names) will increase prices for both .COM and .NET domain names - .COM will go up nearly 7%, and .NET, 10%. The increase will be passed to registrars like Go Daddy and then, unfortunately, to consumers. As of July 1, we will be forced to raise registration and renewal prices for these two popular top-level domains. If you wish to avoid this price increase, you can renew your domain names by June 30. You have the option of renewing for multiple years to lock in longer-term savings.

    Yyyup. Thank you ICANN for approving it...as if Verisign's costs for running the registries are actually going up. Puhleeze.

                    that's because gfy search sucks. I've personally posted in a few of them. And I definitely remember 2 or 3 people starting threads about the Godaddy email they got.

                    I guarantee you won't be the last

                            The thing is what is your price now ? with GoDaddy its 6.89 + (18cents ICANN Fee) = $.7.17 ..so with a 7 percent increase it will increase to around $.7.68 ?

                              *Money Saving tip *

                              If you want the lowest price at all times that Godaddy has to offer without looking for coupons/codes or searching..... simply bookmark www.DomainSalesTalk.com because the banners on the right are hosted by Godaddy and change/update automatically with the lowest price they have to offer....

                              Note : the discounted price doesnt show up until checkout !.

                              Hope that saves a few peeps some $$$$

                                GoDaddy front page says New .COMs $10.69* per year

                                our current prices are
                                .com is 7.99 + .18
                                .net 6.49 + .18

                                Not sure, but Godaddy price may be a initial sale price that goes up next year, or some other catch.. or might need to buy a product of some sort.. We have no catch.

                                Transfers, Renewals and New Registrations

                                We also might have a new sale I am not aware aboutyet , i have not seen the new sales of the month yet, been busy on another project.

                                  They dont advertise thier lowest price on the site ...thats why I gave the tip ..those banners update instantly within seconds of them setting the latest lowest deal....

                                  No catch...Nothing extra to purchase etc....

                                  Most of the main domain registrars dont put thier lowest price on site ...you have to ask or look for coupons etc......standard domain trade practice.

                                  Not trying to digg at you ..just pointing out what a lot of the regular domain buyers here know already.......

                                    Your site is a WildWestDomains reseller program, which is GoDaddy if you weren't aware. I know because I have one too at Supur.com. GoDaddy + coupons will almost always be cheaper than resellers.

                                      They also have some companies like China Domains etc within the group that purchases expired/dropping domains...GoDaddy are into everything ......

                                          They also have some companies like China Domains etc within the group that purchases expired/dropping domains...GoDaddy are into everything ......
                                          Note your term... DISCOUNT PROMOTIONS

                                          I do not have PROMOTIONS

                                            Prices are up 7% for .com and 10% for .net. You can renew and lock in price before June 30. That's interesting.

                                                Thanks for that ugh embarrasment...

                                                Everyone is a fucking reseller.. the phone companies are all resellers, the dsl companies are resellers..

                                                I said my normal prices, but you keep floating special promo prices, that change OVER TIME and are only for the first time payment, my prices are solid day in and day out..

                                                GET THE CLUES for a change and quit being Misses fucking know it all, you dont know shit, trust me and i know you and your banana came in here a year or two ago acting like king banana.. you aint shit and heres finger back at ya

                                                My clients deal in 500-2500 domains each and thats who I take care of and their needs.. i dont need your 2 .info domains in my account

                                                  As I said...I didnt mention that you are a reseller or anything other than discuss whats the lowest price available in the market ...I then replied to PornMD that I didnt want to discuss anything or comment on anything other than prices.....

                                                  Sorry if you took it any other way......it wasnt meant to cause you any embarassment or anything else......

                                                  Back the pricing issue...Godaddy always have a promo price so you may as well say its a standard price.....and over time and next yr you will find another promo price easy to renew the domain.......anyway ,no good discussing the price subject any more I think its all covered.

                                                  Ps And yes I am still the reigning King Banana .....

                                                    Domain owners have better things to do then look for daily renewal discounts to save a quarter every other week... All the domains dont expire on Jan 1st ya know

                                                              No offense but if I whois your domain I find its creation date of 2003. Also no offense, if WWD raises min retail rates to above your price, you'll have to eat your words of staying with the prices you gave. I don't even keep up with mine so I'm not sure if they've indicated already what their new min retail rates will be or not, but I'm pretty sure they'll be raising those rates. It makes no sense for them not to make money for themselves from their resellers.

                                                              Look, if you provide service above and beyond the WWD-provided customer service, that's great and you may very well be worth the money. However, you'll find that most people around here hate GoDaddy due to things they do that they would just as easily do through your WWD reseller (such as take down a domain after an unfounded complaint received...don't worry, they'll do it for you on your reseller).

                                                              Plus you shamelessly spammed the thread that had nothing to do with people asking where to register names, so yea...expect to take flack.

Also no offense, if WWD raises min retail rates to above your price, you'll have to eat your words of staying with the prices you gave. I don't even keep up with mine so I'm not sure if they've indicated already what their new min retail rates will be or not, but I'm pretty sure they'll be raising those rates. It makes no sense for them not to make money for themselves from their resellers.

Will look forward to those rates then. I said in plain English that I haven't been following what they're doing so gosh, you got me there.

                                                                    Originally posted by goodsites

You can go be the pimpest reseller ever in your sig, Buy/Sell, and threads asking for registrars to reg domains at. Here, I'll point you to a couple recent examples of those threads so you can go post in them now:
