3 steps to easily get $6.99 GoDaddy.com domains
Monday, June 15th, 2009 by Peter ZhangHere is 3 simple steps to get a $6.99 GoDaddy.com domain (valid as of date of writing, although I am pretty sure it is going to work for quite a while). While GoDaddy.com is surely not the best one (Slow backend interface, slow resolving, etc.), it is definitely one of the cheapest ones.
Step 1: Go on Google and search for “GoDaddy”… then click on it
You’re then going to see something like the image to the right. Click the link highlighted in light yellow. (Make sure it says $6.99 .COM Domains… if it doesn’t, search again until it does)
Step 2: Search for your desired domain and add to cart
Make sure that you see a yellow message just like the one in the image. If you don’t… go back to step 1 and try again
Step 3: Checkout
That’s it. You will notice that it will only cost you $6.99 (+$0.20 ICANN Fee) without any coupons. Checkout, and have fun!
By the way, it is strongly not recommended to get those “Free extras” as they do not provide that much of a benefit.

Or you can get $3.95/mo hosting with Bluehost ;)
Really I find Godaddy to be frustrating for most websites. CPanel is a much better solution to their proprietary control panel and does not make you wait 10 minutes before a database is set up and you can see what the host name is!

I never used Godaddy hosting, and I never will. I do agree on the fact that cPanel is the best solution there ever is.
However, it is a well known fact too that Godaddy domains are one of the cheapest online, and because of this, I have all my domains on Godaddy.
