I got curious about how much would a person spend to register one name in all of the available extensions.  I went to GoDaddy to see how much would a person spend.  I was surprised that GoDaddy had 58 extensions available.

Over the last several years GoDaddyhas garnered a substantial amount of success in the domaining business. Originally, GoDaddystarted back in 1997 as Jomax Technologies.  Two years later in 1999, Bob Parsons, the owner, changed the company’s name to GoDaddy and then in 2000, GoDaddy became an ICANN accredited domain name registrar.

 I am here to let everyone know that GoDaddyis not just about expensive parties, Super Bowl ads and hot girls. They are much more. GoDaddyis the #1 registrar in the world with nearly one registration or renewal every second which equates to over 31 million domain names per year. Their closest competitor eNom, is 22 million registrations shy of them. With web development, hosting, 2,000+ employees and ALL of their customer service done in-house within the United States, you’re looking at a company that is a powerhouse.

 Currently GoDaddy has 58 domain extensions in which to register domain names with. Below is a complete list of these extensions along with their origin and price. Sales prices are as of August 2^nd, 2009 and are subject to change at any time.

Now don’t be alarmed by the published pricing. Quite honestly, their average customer owns less than a handful of domain names. Because we are not the norm, but still an important customer, they have established a discount club for $89.99 per year. Being a part of their discount club http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/club/landing.asp)gives us .com domain names for $7.29, which is one of the lowest prices of all registrars. Don’t feel like paying the annual membership fee for the discount club? No worries, there are a ton of GoDaddy coupons on the net.  I’ll keep you updated with the codes on the site.

 Take note that if you’re looking to register any country extensions there are a lot to choose from at GoDaddy. Make sure to research what the requirements are first for the particular country extension you’re trying to register. Some of the countries have requirements such as them only being open to businesses that reside in that particular country. Others are open to anyone registering. Do your homework first!
