How to get half-price domains at GoDaddy, without coupons.

by MarathonMan Posted: 13 years ago 17 replies

I just discovered a pretty nifty way to get cheap domains at GoDaddy, no coupons required - I'm feeling generous today (and it's my 100th post), so i thought I'd share it with you.

One thing that bugs me about Godaddy is that when they offer domains on "sale" - AKA, $10 .NETs, etc - you can't use a coupon on them. This actually makes the end price more expensive for those of us that frequently use coupons.

But, since GoDaddy must be Godaddy, they always offer upsells - if you have foo.net in your cart, they'll offer you foo.org for $4.99 (half the "discounted" price if you buy it outright.

So, you want foo.org? Put foo.net in your cart, take the upsell, then delete foo.net and keep foo.org for $4.99.

I haven't tried it myself, but it sounds like a shopping cart error they need to fix.

But hey, I can't blame you (or anyone else) of taking advantage of it while you can.

  I'd say it's just a result of Godaddy's obsession with upsells. Play the system.
  
  BTW, if anyone is buying a .COM, don't buy it through the regular site - go through a Google ad and get a new COM for $2.99 per year (for up to ten years).

I work for a big company and sometimes they forget who their customers are. It is all about the wallet to them and the stock holders. But wherever you found the AD for $2.99, please let me know and I am on it like white on rice.

This definitely does work grand! I got my domain name for my release in 2 weeks:

GPlacesGold.com

for $2.99 using that technique.

Woot!
