GoDaddy .COM Domains @$2.95/domain, up to 3 domains, up to 10 years

Quote from Yura : I would buy godaddy domain for $1 only to transfer it out and cause losses to godaddy. That is all support godaddy can expect from me.

You are not supporting them if you buy domains < wholesale. Wholesale on .com is $7.85 [verisign.com], resulting in a $4.9 loss per domain per year. On 3 domains x 10 years, that is a maximum loss per transaction, amortized over 10 years, of $147.

Quote from Minjin : So did Visa and Mastercard and NFL and NBA and ABC and CBS and a whole host of other major companies. I hope you are boycotting all of them, too. edit: I scrolled through the OP too quickly. Looks like he was smart enough to already address this...

I prefer to consider such people ignorant instead of hypocrites, as in they are just not aware of all the other companies that, unlike GoDaddy, still support the bills. I can't see any of them giving up their favorite cash back credit cards, sports, songs, movies, books....

For me there is a simple fact that GoDaddy is losing money on each transaction, which makes it a slick deal. Selling an item at a loss means GoDaddy thinks I will be buying add-ons, which I am not obligated to nor do I have any intention to. For safety reasons I found it best to keep the domains with large and stable companies, then shop for hosting plans with a variety of other companies.

If the GoDaddy haters can't figure out common business, by understanding the other side and taking advantage of it, that is their problem. For everyone else, enjoy the deal.
