Domain Transfer

Monday, May 2. 2005

Just a brief entry to say that my domain transfer from Network Solutions to GoDaddy was quick and painless. It just wasn't worth it to continue to pay $35 a year when someone else provides the same service for $9 a year. The only downside was that GoDaddy's checkout process is full of offers for "accessories" that you don't need. But I passed on all of those and got a pretty good deal.

Network solutions is just as cheap per year if you order enough years at once. I think i have my domain until 2013...$10 a year or so.

They must have given you a deal. Last time I renewed with them, I did it for three years for a so-so discount. I found a comment I made about it on Slashdot in 2002:

Looking at the Network Solutions website today, the price/year for 10 years is $14.99. You have to renew for 100!!! years to get $9.99, still more expensive than GoDaddy. GoDaddy's 10 year renewal price is $6.95/year.

I can't yet speak for GoDaddy's service, but I had more than my share of trouble with the Network Solutions service over the years, so I'm looking forward to trying someone else.
