$1.99 Domains from GoDaddy

[IMChick]

Domain sale time at GoDaddy.com, don't know how for how long ...

$1.99 Domain Name Registration with Coupon Code: 199BUYCOM (Exp Soon). Extra 20 cent surcharge makes final price $2.19.

[willbucks]

I don't care for Godaddy. I was doing some searching for domain names with their search feature and I found one I liked but went and looked at some options for about 10 minutes. When I came back it was gone already registered.

I did a little test and it happened about 4 more times. They are not an honest provider and will take it to you if pushed.

I recommend you go elsewhere no matter the cost.

[IMChick]

Crappy, schmappy. Save yourself the bucks by taking advantage of the sale and don't forget to push it to another registrar after 60 days.

[defy]

A $2 domain is a $2 domain. If you need a quick domain for a current campaign that may not be useful longterm, why not? If you want to start a long lasting brand name, maybe you should review your options. Either way, it's hard to hate on a $2.19 after Icann domain.

What type of domains are these for .... .coms's I'm guessing not.

Works with .com's

They had a deal similar to this a couple of months ago, I always take advantage of this.

If you are wanting to buy a domain, act fast because last time the coupon was used up fast/exired.

[rankinghero]

Is there any limit of the number of domain names?

[Andy Crofford]

MikeC,

Yes you can get a .com.

This code expires after 7,500 redemptions or on July 7, 2009 (whichever comes first). So if you want a cheap domain buy now.

[IMChick]

The coupon is good for a domain name in your order cart, including .com's. The redemption is ONE per CUSTOMER account, which is still a nice deal.

[Chris Faraday]

Thats the game. Good point but - demand once identified soon has a counterpoint.
Particularly if it's profitable easy & automated. Think about this... Once you found out it was taken you wanted it even more as you were in the flow. Check the domain first do a google then uspto.gov if your into it - consider commercial intent.. THen go for it.

[Chris Faraday]

I'm a little slow... l if I want about 30 names - is there a way???

OR is it a one name one time only per account period???

Thanks for the scoop : )

[RedMatrix]

You have to use a coupon code. I emailed my list (my godaddy sub list) about this with the coupon.

Also, DO NOT use a registrar TO SEARCH for domain ideas. They, (mostly GoDaddy) use what is called "Domain Tasting" where they see the searches people do, and if not registered, they register it and park it for 2 to 5 days. If it makes money, they keep it. If it doesn't, they "get a refund" or an "undo" from ICAAN.

It's a distasteful practice! (Re)Search/Brainstorm your domain ideas elsewhere, like PCnames.com. Then go and register it on your favorite registrar.

I got my $2 domain, btw. Sweet! Step1ne : Survey for newbies into the Internet Marketing world <-- I like it!

Tip No. 1: Go for Namecheap.com
Tip No. 2: Forget Go Daddy's URL

I absolutely despise GoDaddy because I believe they use horrible practice. If a domain expires they keep that domain themselves. They will sell it back to you at a crazy price. I understand its helpful if its a really really important site but usually you don't forget to renew sites that are that important to you.

Maybe you should try Strato if you do not like Godaddy

You can get the 1st year of a .com domain from GoDaddy any time for $1.99 if you also get hosting from them. I believe you can also always get a coupon code for a couple bucks off the regular price if you watch one of their promotional videos from their site.

I've used them for several years with a couple dozen domains and haven't had any of the problems others have mentioned (names you searched for already being taken when you buy them, etc.), but maybe I just got lucky?

Hi, Chris, you answered your own question here--the coupon code is for One name One Time for One Account.

If you want 30 names, I guess you have to pay 2.19 for the first one, get a coupon code for the second one, and then pay full price or a discounted wholesaler price for the remaining 28 names.

[IMChick]

UPDATE:

That 199BUYCOM code is still working, I just used it 2 minutes ago

[new guy]

I just used it as well on one domain, but then I went back for more and nope. I just read this thread though and it looks like it is only a 1 time deal anyhow, so I got mine.

[phantom76]

Yes, I just registered a $2 domain, which is going to make me millions in the next few months :-)

It is limited to one per customer. No PayPal. Only credit card or check. (Hint: How many credit cards do you have?)

[RedMatrix]

I have a PP credit card. I wonder if that works.

Do you know if this is a common practice in the domain registration industry? I've had the same thing happen to me a couple of times.

I found it weird because the domains I wanted to purchase were something obscure that I thought would definitely be available. Is there a way domain registration companies can see what domains people are searching for and snatch them up for themselves?

[penny_preston]

I'm a fan of GoDaddy. Have never had any problems with them.

[RedMatrix]

Yes, raymagnetic. See my earlier post in this thread. ( #12 )

[ZTsJourNeY]

There are always YES and NO for any kind of service. What I've been told is sometimes Godaddy can be really mean to you upon some premium domains.

I've never used Godaddy, I'm a big fan of Namecheap instead.

Didn't see your post earlier. That's a very sneaky practice that they have going.

The websites I was interested in buying were also magically parked at go daddy the next day.

Thanks for the advice on searching for domain names as well. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

If you mean they'd "sell" the domain name to you at $80 rather than renewal
price, that's because it's to "redeem" the domain name. Look up redemption
grace period in Google or so, and you'll also find other registrars do that since
it costs them more than their standard renewal fees.

But...believe whatever you want, even if it's not necessarily true and there's
a so-called reasonable explanation for it. And no, I'm not with Go Daddy.

[robinpike]

Very cool deal... I was going to buy a new domain tomorrow... might as well go ahead and buy it now with this great deal. Thanks for sharing.

[Stefan Vee]

Still works today.
Just bought a brand new domain.
Thanks for the tip.

[DominicTFY]

Does it come with a free WHOISGuard or WHOIS protection? If not, just purchase the .info domains from www.namecheap.com. It comes with free WHOIS Guard for a year.

I don't think that GoDaddy is offering Free Whois Guard.
Agree with you,Namecheap offers Free Whois Guard for your domains.

[Richard Odell]

Wouldn't even deal with them if they were giving them away for free - avoid this company at all costs

[Gabe77]

I'm still on godaddy. Not sure if I wanted to switch though. Everything's working fine with me.

[Sebulba]

Seems to still work -- only good for 1 domain though

[websitepopularityservices]

also .89 for a .info domain
i find .info does pretty much as well as .com seo-wise if you are working with external pop links like i do
besides, it is just kinda fun to buy anything at .89!!!

[THK]

Got mine. 4:30 pm CST, code is still working. Never tried Godaddy before, will see how their service is. Reaction of some people is not very exciting, so I was kind of reluctant to use their service.

What are external pop links?

[Nigel Greaves]

Thanks for posting the link IM Chick it will come in very handy!

[Sebulba]

I have used Godaddy for over 10 years and have had nothing but good experiences.

I only buy my domains there though I host elsewhere.

Seb

[braver55b]

Thanks IM chick,

I just got one roughcutmarketing coming soon (currently parked)

Is it limited to just one or can we buy more?

[spycraft]

Thanks so much! was waiting for these to come back!

[riverchase]

Per customer service Rep of Gooddaddy, $1.99 domain offered one per new customer, provided non-domain product or services purchased with it.
Renewal would be normal price of about $10/yr.

Always clear your cache if this is how you shop for domains. I've had this happen to, only to re-check days later and it wasn't registered. Odds are it's your OWN browser making this happen...

[Andrew Maule]

P.S. Used this same coupon code a week or so ago Glad to see it still working!

Wow that's pretty cheap.

If only the world today is very much the same, just like it was back in the 70's.

[netcash4u]

Hi IMChick,

Thanks for the coupon code! It still works! I just get a domain for $2.19! Thanks,

I didn't buy anything else, just the domain. I got the discount. Thats why the coupon code is there I guess.

But I did see that offer of "non domain product purchase" and I thought it was a different offer.

[Andy Hakeem]

Might use this..thanks alot for the info!

But I guess we just allowed to use credit card isn't?

[Croque]

Update: Code still works!

[Stefan Vee]

I already thanked IMChicked.
Great deal here!
