Domains by proxy is Godaddy's solution for domain privacy.
Since they have so many resellers, they also sell the servive "domains by proxy" which never lists anything about Godaddy but acts like a separate company.

The service is included for free the first year, if you register 6 or more domains at once. Then when you're up for renewal they will try to charge you $8.99 per year for each domain just for the domains by proxy service, plus another $10 or so in renewal fees for the domain itself.

If you have many doamins, cal your account representative and sweet talk them a bit and ask to have your account enabled with the discount for the domains by proxy service and they will check your current business with them and then make a decision wheter or not to allow you to buy it cheaper.

It generally akes no sense paying almost the double amount when you can get it fro free when you transfer your domains. So if they do not enable you for the cheaper price, then move to namecheap or elesewhere get free domapinprivacy there and then move back to get free domains by proxy service again.
