There have been recent reports of unexpected payments issued to GoDaddy customers. We’ve just received word that these payments were the result of a glitch in GoDaddy’s billing system, which has since been resolved.
Previously, GoDaddy had been charging its customers the ICANN fee on certain domain names that were not subject to it. For example, country code top-level domains (“ccTLD”) are not subject to the fee. As a result, GoDaddy has been refunding $0.18 on every domain name that was erroneously charged.
If you have purchased a domain name with a TLD other than those in the following list, it's possible you were improperly charged the ICANN fee on orders that were placed. If so, GoDaddy will be, or already has, refunded the erroneous charges.
