Mutt · 01-22-2010, 12:37 PM

i just renewed a domain with privacy on for a year at godaddy - 18 bucks. that's ridiculous. what's a cheaper registrar that's solid?

baddog · 01-22-2010, 12:39 PM

I would call GoDaddy since that is not the normal rate they charge.

candyflip · 01-22-2010, 12:41 PM

$8 something with free privacy at Namecheap.

TeenCash · 01-22-2010, 12:44 PM

yeah candy beat me to it.. Namecheap is where I took all my domains..

Godaddy often offers the 1st year privacy free to renew it at full price, haven't found one myself which offers free privacy as long as you renew the domain

lagcam · 01-22-2010, 10:02 PM

If you use godaddy, NEVER renew or purchase a godaddy domain without searching "godaddy promo codes" in Yahoo or Google, and then keep trying new ones until you get a discount.

Never pay godaddy prices.

transfer to namecheap for 6.99 with privacy

Mutt · 01-22-2010, 10:10 PM

no wonder they can afford to advertise on the Super Bowl.

18 bucks - probably a 200% profit for them on that transaction.

epitome · 01-22-2010, 11:23 PM

I did an analysis once on what GoDaddy makes on their whois privacy and it's something like $27 or $45 million a year.

I remembered coming across the number of domains that had privacy and I did the math.

RIDICULOUS!

the privacy thing is PURE PROFIT for them, unless someone actually launches a complaint and email's the proxy service... oh but wait.. the first forward is free and then they charge you $25 for each additional message...

Brutal.

I might seriously look into moving my domains to namecheap if they do privacy free.

PornMD · 01-22-2010, 11:32 PM

If you can qualify for a Fabulous.com wholesale account, they're < $8 with free privacy. I'm on their best tier of pricing, so $7.49 .com's with free privacy, and they're not in the US so a lot more safe than a registrar like GoDaddy. Also, if you're transferring 500+, even with a new account without best tier pricing, if you do them all at once yuo'd get $7.16 per .com domain (cheaper than GoDaddy by a penny with free privacy always for any domain - you'll never have to pay for privacy).

privacy is free at namecheap with a new domain or transfer. Not free for renewal, but a 5 pack of privacy is less than 8 bucks. Very cheap.

I have 40 unused privacy guards sitting in my account tho, so it's not a big deal at all.

HerPimp · 01-22-2010, 11:36 PM

That cheap domain name registration is how they suck you in.

Agreed!

I got my domains on 1&1 now. Great pricing, free privacy. 1&1 is a huge web site hoster, so they have a solid backing and solid name.

1&1 domains and internet hosting

They are somewhat bureaucratic about identification when opening accounts, but their prices are excellent. They have good and cheap hosting packages, but I haven't tried the hosting yet.

You have to dig a little to get to the domain buying places, seems they are not too keen on selling domains. I just renewed some domains with privacy, no problem whatsoever ....

I know they were a pain to sign up for, they wanted scans of my ID etc. But once it works, it works fine. Do you know anything bad about them that I don't know?

* crappy support.
* known for billing people for renewals long after a domain has been transfered to another registrar.
* no instant whois/ns updates.
