I just registered a .com domain and saw the "great" upselling deal that GD was offering in the other TLDs, so I checked the box for three other TLDs.
Well, when you reg a domain, GD automatically signs you up for two years. You can change the original .com term to 1 year (or 5 years, etc.), BUT you can't change the upsold domains to one year, so suddenly, that great deal turns into regular prices (which are HIGH) for the second year.
Quite frankly, this is ridiculous. The offer should be for all years in your cart, period, or the option to change to one year should be available; otherwise, it's deceptive advertising.
So GD lost a sale on the alternate extensions. I stayed with the .com and removed the other TLDs.
The lesson here: ignore all upselling attempts and reg any alternate TLDs separately, using coupons/codes--or go elsewhere.
I probably don't need those TLDs, anyway. The .com is not that compelling--it just fits with my area.
I plan to disable the upselling feature.
Be warned!
