I have not been blogging about domain deals, because, well I have not been buying domains for a while. I am certainly at a stage where I am having more domains than knowing what to do with them. However I was tempted again when I received GoDaddy‘s promotional email this morning, selling .net registration for USD$5.99/year (plus 25 cents ICANN fee).

I think it is selling slightly below cost as the popular TLD are usually having wholesale price at $6/domain per year. Moreover GoDaddy is now giving a way a big list of freebies with every domain registration, like ad-supported free hosting, email hosting, full DNS hosting, etc. This offer applies to new registration, transfer or renewal. Too bad I’ve renewed two of my .net domains with GoDaddy a few weeks ago with a lesser discount :(

Promotion expires on 16 September 2006.

Privacy guard is a bit expensive at $4.99 per domain (free if you register 3+ domains). You might wish to look at NameCheap who has been offering free “WhoIs Guard” with every domain registration at the moment, if this domain privacy thing is concerning you.
