Got another spam promotional email from GoDaddy today, and they are offering 10% off for every order with the following promotion code. This offer expires February 28, 2006.

Be sure to use that code in your cart to get special discount. I believe it is not exclusive to domains, but also hosting and other things that GoDaddy tries to sign you up with during the check out process. That makes a new registration of an .com domain USD$8.28 (ICANN fees included).

However, I think I have figured out probably the cheapest way to register a domain through GoDaddy.

1. Go to their Online File Folder product page, and select their “Economy Edition” with 50Mb of storage for $4.95 per year.
2. Click on the big red button “Add to Cart“.
3. Scroll all the way down through the ads — you don’t need any of them. You are just interested in the domain, right? Click on “Continue” at the bottom of the page.
4. Now you are at the secure checkout. Add the domain you wish to register into your order. Now it would cost you only USD$2.24 to register that domain.
5. Put the 10% off promotion code above and click on “Apply Code“.
6. Now you have a domain, with 50Mb of on-line storage as bonus, for USD$6.69!

At the same time, you can always get USD$2.99 domain from Yahoo Small Business (if you are a new customer). They have just extend the deal to 8 March, and possibly indefinitely.
