Just noticed that my .com provider has pushed prices up to $14.99 from $11.50. I know there was a small increase in the base cost, but who are everyone else using and what are you paying?
Dynadot.com are a good outfit with good support, .com's are currently $9.99 on there, there's probably cheaper out there, but the support might not be as good.
Was just about to say this. Any time I need to renew a domain with Godaddy I find a code that let's me renew for in or around $8 which isn't too bad at all. Might take a couple of attempts with different codes but it only takes a few minutes to do.
I'm still with Godaddy despite loosing my Exec account status. Still honouring the 45% renewal discount - so hard pushed to leave. I do like (or should I say familiar with) the interface, Except when you want to cancel anything. (Then it's a performance , and time-consuming)
Lots of anomalies that you just have to get used to also over-time. Not sure they would be my first choice starting-out though
