8 GoDaddy Discount Codes

Posted on 11 January 2014 by Andrei

Managed to find 8 coupons for you guys this week, 5 of them should work internationally (so not just for customers from the United States and Canada) and as far as the remaining 3 are concerned, I’m not sure.

Haven’t used any of them myself, so I can’t promise they’ll work.

NamesCon Can Already Be Considered a Smashing Hit

Posted on 10 January 2014 by Andrei

It seems I was right back in December, you can literally feel the excitement surrounding NamesCon. People (lots of people, I might add: the conference was sold out but they managed to find a way to let some more people attend, so there are still a few spots left if you want to make a last minute decision) are genuinely happy about attending, those who couldn’t make it this year are looking forward to reading the coverage and all in all, I’d say we can safely say that the conference is a success.

In my opinion, this is great for the industry as a whole.

I like Matthew Crowder’s guest posts, I’m sure my readers feel the same way and all in all, I’m happy with the results of my guest blogging experiment thus far.

Therefore, I’m thinking about accepting one more “regular” and the guidelines haven’t changed:

How Much Upside?

Posted on 08 January 2014 by Andrei

Now on the one hand, it’s obviously better to buy one good domain than 10 mediocre ones. I’m pretty sure most people agree, no need to explain why. On the other hand though, it it also better to buy one amazing domain than 10 good ones?

What If the Domain Market Would Stop Working for 5 Years?

Posted on 07 January 2014 by Andrei

Today, I’d like to ask you to imagine the following scenario: what if there would be a let’s say 5 year ban on domain sales? In other words, if you were not allowed to sell your domains to anyone (domainer or end user, doesn’t matter) as of today for 5 years?

Collusion in the Industry? [Guest Post]

Posted on 06 January 2014 by Andrei

One of the best-kept secrets in domaining is Go Daddy’s code promotion for $0.99 transfers. You save a ton, get an extra year added on your domain and GoDaddy then makes up the discount when you renew for future years.

But why don’t any other registrars have frequent codes to transfer domains to them for anywhere near that price? NameCheap has the lowest permanent transfer deal out there right now at $8.67 but that’s the same as GD renewals using a code. There are a few other companies that occasionally offer deals like the $0.99 GoDaddy transfers but nobody comes close to doing it as frequently.

What About Liquidity?

Posted on 05 January 2014 by Andrei

Most new domainers seem to underestimate the importance of liquidity and the irony of it all is that it’s exactly them who should be paying attention to this aspect.

Why?

Let me try to explain.

The State of the Reseller Market

Posted on 03 January 2014 by Andrei

This is of course just an opinion but since I’ve been following the reseller market (or the domainer to domainer market, as it can also be called) for many years, I’m in a reasonably good position to share my 2 cents and start the year with an assessment.

Why most people think backing up their data is something you don’t have to take seriously is beyond me. Today, I want to let you guys know what I do. Some of you might consider it excessive, maybe it is but I love redundancy.
