GoDaddy Launches Discount Club

Domain Registrar GoDaddy launches discount membership club.
The world’s largest domain name registrar, GoDaddy, has launched a membership club called Discount Domain Club that offers reduced pricing. The club costs $89.95 per year and provides a number of discounted services. The fee might make sense for you if you are a GoDaddy customer who owns many domain names, or someone trying to consolidate domains that would prefer the security of GoDaddy compared to, say, RegisterFly.
The discounts include:
-Cheap domain registration. .Com domains are only $6.74, .net and .org $7.24 including ICANN fee. Discounts apply to other extensions as well. The .com price is about $.25 less than Moniker’s best pricing on .coms, but is more expensive on the other extensions. It baffles me that .net pricing is more than .com since .com has a higher wholesale price. When wholesale .com and .net prices increase later this year you might see these discounted prices go up as well.
-80% payout level in GoDaddy’s CashParking program.
-Free membership to TDNAM and discounts on listing fees.
-Discounted domain buying service. (If you are a sophisticated domain investor with a lot of domains I doubt you would actually use GoDaddy’s domain buying service.)
If you own a lot of .com domains that are already at GoDaddy, then this discount offer might make sense for you.
