<blockquote type="cite"><font face="Calibri">Bob Parsons left a long
time ago, and good riddance.</font></blockquote>
It's good to hear a positive report about GoDaddy. It has gotten
noticeably better since Parsons left the board in 2018, that's true,
but it was pretty disgusting back then. They are no longer actively
trying to prevent people from transferring out, that's good. Still
lots of nickel and dime-ing now, many add-ons cost a lot compared to
other domain registrars and hosts, and a lot of products are
advertised as being very cheap, you have to read the fine print to
see that that's just for the first year. For example:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.godaddy.com/domains">https://www.godaddy.com/domains</a><br>
.com pricing is show as $0.01, then in fine print "was $19.99" is
crossed out and "2-year purchase required. 2nd year billed at
$19.99*" below that. Most domains are shown as "starting at", .com
is one of only a few actually tell you the per year price. If you
click on the Check Availability button, it still doesn't tell you
the actual yearly price. I find that slimy and manipulative, and the
prices are comparatively high for anyone with a few domains. <br>
<blockquote type="cite"><font face="Calibri">If you buy the "bulk"
reseller account, domains are only about $9.50 a year,
depending.</font></blockquote>
Pricing is good for owners of hundreds of domains. The bulk domain
plans are $95/year for (for example) $11.99/year .com domains so
you'd need to own around 50 domains to get down below $14/year per
domain. The premium membership advertises an $8.85 .com price, but
membership is $239/year, so with 200 domains the price would be
around $10/domain. You can get comparable pricing from other
reseller programs without having to pay an upfront price. <br>

Select multiple domains and apply changes to all. Changes are

located in the midwest, I believe.</font></p>
