High-priced registrars like Network Solutions® are trying to maintain their business on a flimsy foundation: that you must pay $35.00 to register your domain name with a quality outfit. Their president has even said that if you're value-conscious, you're not welcome with his company. How's that for attitude?
"It's true that there are many providers who offer domains at $8.00 or $10.00. They draw a lot of speculators, and our view is that they're welcome to them."
- Champ Mitchell, President Network Solutions, Inc.
Fact: Every day, thousands of sensible, informed buyers – individuals, families, businesses small and large; and yes, speculators – come to GoDaddy.com® for low prices and premium value.
"... Go Daddy® sells at an extremely low price point, and they do that to sell their software. They are really a software provider. They build their own software and use the domain as an acquisition device for customers."
- Champ Mitchell
Fact: Go Daddy is - first and foremost - a domain name registrar. When we became a registrar in November 2000, Go Daddy’s .COM domain name prices were $8.95 for one year (compared to Network Solutions' $70.00 for two years). Today, Go Daddy’s .COM prices are still $8.95 for one year. Network Solutions' one-year rate is $34.99.
"You get what you pay for."
- Champ Mitchell
Fact: Actually, Network Solutions provides its customers a suspect deal. Their prices are outrageous and their offerings seem to be short on features. Our customers register their domains for much less… and also enjoy:
"Customers who choose Network Solutions largely did so because they were uninformed about the options they have available. That's nothing new for Network Solutions. They've been taking advantage of the uninformed business owner for years."
Sure, you can spend $35.00 for a domain name - and get attitude in return for your 300 percent-plus premium.
Or, you can save money with GoDaddy.com - and enjoy all the benefits of our unbeatable value proposition. So why pay more to get less? Welcome to GoDaddy.com, the #1 registrar worldwide!
