Venolus · 07-22-2005, 02:51 AM

I dont really know why they charge so much

Tippy · 07-22-2005, 03:28 AM

They are obviously after the non-domainer, no domainer in their right mind would use them, the general public needs to learn the ropes...

When people stop registering them there. These price cuts show how there business is doing. They are losing 14,000 domains per month.

nice to see an attempt, but I think it is a little too late. too many other companies doing a decent job at much cheaper prices godaddy,enom,namecheap,etc... I expect they will continue to lose domain customers, except for the newbies that have no idea on pricing. If you register for 5 years I guess it's not horrible, but not many people wanna register for that long especially if you are just trying to sell it in a few months.

Where'd you get that figure?

If they keep lowering their prices to the industry average, expect them not to
offer 24/7 toll-free phone support much longer.

They're taking advantage of less-notified people. They give a very professional look up front which tells the business, usually a small to medium sized one, to say, "Hey, what the heck; I'll register it."

It's a strategy, but I'm sure, sooner or later, they're going to have to reduce prices; you can never fool your customer for too long

Sorry it is more like 20,000 per month. All registar figures are available at webhosting.info.

So if they are losing 20k domains per week and GD is gaining 100k that makes quite a big gap.

If they want to have much of A impact,they will need to drop the one and two year regs some more.
