While some domain registrars have increased prices faster than wholesale increases, robust competition means consumers can still register and renew domains for close to the wholesale cost.

it's ok. the response of people will simply be to reg or own less names. it's that simple because and especially harder times the logical response of a.human is to save by reduction. in short increasing their prices will always result in lower profits. ain't it funny how shit work huh

The article clearly highlights how insanely GoDaddy has increased .com prices. It increasingly focuses on audiences other than domain investors.

"In 2014, the company (GoDaddy, red.) charged $14.99 per year for a .com domain. It didn’t increase this until 2019, when it charged $17.99. It raised its price to $19.99 in 2022 and $21.99 this year. That’s a 47% increase in the past 10 years."

At the end of 2024, at @Porkbun you can still register a .com for about 50% of GoDaddy's price, without having to pay for any "Discount Club". You start saving from the first domain.

As the number of domain name registration of the first website, it seems that the price of the domain name of the godaddy is becoming more and more expensive. I haven't used it in years.

This is because they did allot of Marketing (brainwash) and end users prefer Godaddy, because they think it is some kind of Google, only for domains, they don't know about other registrars, simple as that.

It was the Amazon strategy, lose money or barely break even for years to gain market share and grow.

I can't tell you how many .99 .coms I registered through GoDaddy over the years. At least 100 before they started limiting coupons. And those limits appeared sometime after a 2.3 billion dollar sale wasn't it?
