Posted by andrew on October 29th, 2005

The famous domain name registrar. They are having a very cheap promotional period now, as you can see from here: www.GoDaddy.com . However, there is a catch. You need to make a non-domain purchase. But you may get as low as $4.19 for the first year, which is still very cheap compared to their normal $8.95 per year domain. Follow the steps below to get your $4.19 domain name:

1) Go to www.GoDaddy.com .
2) Choose the domain name you wanted (1-year) and proceed to checkout.
3) Insert the code “david” under promotional code.
4) Continue shopping, and choose SMTP relay (go to their main page at www.GoDaddy.com , go to the bottom of the page and choose Catalog, and look for SMTP relaying.
5) Proceed to checkout.
6) After payment, remember to cancel the SMTP relaying under your account!
7) That’s it!

Hope this analysis will help those who are interested in buying domain names.
