GoDaddy Stops Selling .Info Domains
You probably know and have already benefited from GoDaddy?s promotion for .info domains at the price of $0.99, which has been active for quite a while.
Well, if you had your share of cheap info domain names be happy: as of today, GoDaddy doesn?t sell info domain names anymore. Not only the promotional price is gone, but the .info extension is not available anymore at any price. As I intended to make another serious info domain names purchase this morning, I tried to find other registrars with promotions. Of course all GoDaddy resellers were affected, none of them offering .info domains anymore. The best deal I was still able to find was at Moniker, where you can still get the .info domain names for $4.94. All others I?ve checked offered .info domains at $8.75. There is a myth regarding .info domains, that they are not so credible for Google or other search engines, due to the fact that spammers use them a lot, because of their low price. I have to say that I do own some websites built on .info domain names which perform well in search engines, so I was quite happy with getting lots of domain names for $0.99 a piece (plus ICANN fee and VAT, but nevertheless, it was a good deal anyway). We surely learned our lesson from this: never postpone what you can do now. We could have done this extensive keyword research one week ago, and not yesterday. We could have bought this new batch of $0.99 info domains yesterday, and not today (when we had this surprise, and we are now facing the situation of paying at least 7 times more for the same purchase). It seems that Murphy is not sleeping: who would have thought that GoDaddy would stop selling info domains just a couple of hours before we wanted to buy about 100 such domains? http://www.ezmoneyon.net/godaddy-sto...-info-domains/ |

Damnit, I was going to pick up some throwaways cheap as well, then transfer them once they were up for renewal...

Errr... what about this bit at the end? Seems your copy-and-paste post may have been a little premature...
Later update: this lasted only for several hours, enough for us to publish the news everywhere. Now things are back to yesterday’s status, which means that you can still buy .info domains for $0.99 from GoDaddy and all its resellers |

I just purchased 50 domains.
Be aware that by default the rego period is 2 years, which means you'll be paying a bit more than $1.19 per domain unless you change it. Free domain privacy doesn't appear to be applicable on the first screen, but it shows up a couple of screens later where you can select between public and private info for $0.00 extra. This is for bulk registration, not sure if a single domain would differ. |
