$1.99 .com/.net/.org and $0.99 domains at GoDaddy.com

Again, I understand that this is not a notebook deal, but this is something NBR members should know about - I am sure atleast one person will benefit from it.

For a limited time, you can register a .com/.net/.org (maybe other domains also - you will have to check) for $1.99 for the first year at GoDaddy.com. You must use the coupon code 199TEST at checkout. One use of this coupon per account only.

Also for a limited time, you can register a .info domain at GoDaddy.com for $0.99 for the first year. No coupon code is required. There are no limitations on how many .info domains you register for $0.99. ***If you plan on registering 5+, buy through their bulk service ( click here). You will get free domain privacy for all of those domains.

All GoDaddy.com domain registrations have a $0.20 ICANN fee applied. So it actually comes out to be $2.19 or $1.19 total depending on which deal you are talking about.

 

Cool, thanks a lot for that! I'm beginning to write my own personal website... this'll be perfect.

 

I wish these deals were for existing domain names. I have been trying to get my last name as a domain (kinda rare) but someone bought up them all and has just empty apache servers on them...grrr

I have always wanted my professional email to be [email protected]

 

Me too, but Johnson has already been taken.

 

lol, that's why I'm going to get my full name.. same last name as well

 

If anyone is wondering about the cheap hosting they have at godaddy, i have had it for 2 years and it is the best for the money. About 40 bucks a year is a steal compared to what others offer. I have them with the linux server...its rock solid.

 

I would have to disagree.

The cheapest plan:
$4.25x12 = $51 a year
If you google reviews on GoDaddy HOSTING, you will see they have sub-par reviews.

I recommend
Eboundhost.com
Inmotionhosting.com
While more expensive, I those two companies will give you better service.
I also have a few more sites I recommend to my clients - I have them all listed on my website if anyone is interested.

 

You can get coupon codes for the hosting. I pay around 40 for the year of hosting and domain name. I know some people have issues with them, but i have not ever. Plus they have upgraded the hosting side of the site 4 times in the last 2 years and also increased the bandwidth and storage for nothing. My site has only gone offline for 4 minutes this year according to my logs. I think thats pretty solid if you ask me.

 

Have you tried a dot "name" domain?

 

To his his own

I use Eboundhost for RationalWorks; Currently I have I think 5 domains hosted on that one account. Eboundhost technical support is quick and knowledgeable and the prices are fair for the features they offer you.

 

As far as I know, godaddy does not register .name domains.

 

Just a quick question - can I register a domain through goDaddy.com then host it via my own server? Would I have to pay them a monthly/recurring fee?

 

Yes you should be able too.

Huh, your right they don't offer .name domain name. That's odd as all of the other domain places do.

 

I transferred my domain to godaddy.com for like $8

They gave me 10gb webspace, 300gb/month bandwidth, POP email and other stuff for free.

$8 well spent.

 

Yes you should be able to.

For a domain you are charged on an annual basis. With this deal, you will be charged $1.99 for the first year. After that, I think it is something like $10 a year to keep your domain.

 

Orly?

As far as I knew, with transfers GoDaddy would let you keep the time you have leftregistered on your domain + give you one year free for like 7-8 dollars. I did not know they gave free hosting w/ transfers. Grats and thanks for letting us know.

 

Is there a way, even if not through goDaddy, to pay a reasonable one time fee and thats it to register a domain?

 

Not as far as I know.

 

Yes they let me keep the time i had left from my previous registrar.

The only catch is the webhost, they stick a godaddy ad on your pages. Though you can easily get rid of it by using a simple CSS style code.

Other than that, $8 got me very far. Quite happy with godaddy

Im still uploading my stuff to use up the webspace Still not sure on what to do for the website..

You have to pay annually, its a cheap fee.

Having a personal domain is alot better, you get 0 spam on emails.

You can also use it on MSN messenger and hook your domain name as a hotmail account.

 

Do they allow you legally to remove it?

Sounds like you got a great deal. Did they give you a 1 year free extension too? Because I think I am going to transfer my domain to GoDaddy soon and since I already have a host, I would prefer the 1 year free extension.
