15 GoDaddy Discount Codes

Posted on 09 August 2014 by Andrei

I’ll be sharing 15 GoDaddy discount codes with you guys today, 5 of them should work worldwide as opposed to only for people from the US/Canada and as far as the remaining 10 are concerned, I’m not sure. Also, one of the codes should work for up to three domains, not just one.

Posted on 06 August 2014 by Andrei

I didn’t register any but if some of you guys did, feel free to let us know. The seven new gTLDs which entered the General Availability phase today were reasonably appealing but I for one didn’t find any available domains that were attractive enough to convince me to take action.

11 GoDaddy Discount Codes

Posted on 02 August 2014 by Andrei

This week’s coupon list isn’t huge but the good news for those of you who aren’t from the US or Canada is that most of them (8 out of 11 discount codes) should work internationally. As far as the remaining 3 are concerned, I’m not sure.
