Every Godaddy Promo Code 2011 and Discount Code

GoDaddy was founded in 1997 under the name Jomax Technologies by Bob Parsons, a Marine who was wounded in Vietnam. For some inexplicable reason, in 1999 they decided to change the name to GoDaddy. I guess jomaxtechnolgies.com was already taken.

GoDaddy's primary business has always been domain name registration. It began growing rapidly soon after Network Solutions lost its monopoly on domain name registration due to their great prices made even better by always having a GoDaddy discount code or promo code available and savvy advertising. In 2005, they actually passed them and became the largest domain name registrar and are now over 3 times larger than there nearest competitor. They have an incredible 40 million domain names currently under management.

In the United States, GoDaddy has become a household name due to their somewhat risqué Super Bowl commercials. Perhaps the most famous one was in 2005 when they spoofed the now infamous Janet Jackson incident. The ad featured a well-endowed spokeswoman for GoDaddy sitting in front of a censorship committee full of stuffy old men and women trying to get her commercial approved. The girl experienced a wardrobe malfunction when one of the spaghetti straps on her shirt broke, much to the shock of the committee members. She then proceeded to stand up and dance, to the further shock of the committer members. This ad became the most memorable of the Super Bowl that year, and vaulted GoDaddy into the overwhelming leader in domain name registration. Since that time, the have continued to hire attractive female spokeswomen like Indy driver Danica Patrick and put on sexy Super Bowl commercials, when they could get them by the network's censorship committees.

As I said before, GoDaddy's primary business has always been domain name registration. Along with that, like most domain name registrars, they have created a massive web hosting business for customers to host their domain names on. They actually recently created a data center just for European sites so those sites across the pond should have seen a solid increase in speed.

Being that they are so large, they have also expanded into the other things that complement hosting well like all kinds of business solutions. They have site builders, shopping carts, and even less common things like incorporation services in case you need to incorporate.

One of the things that GoDaddy offers, which can be a great way to make or lose lots of money, is domain name auctions. You can bid on domain names that may already have a great deal of traffic or a good keyword filled name. If you are really smart, you can use GoDaddy's sophisticated search function, find a good domain name, register it cheap using one of our 2010 promo codes, and turn right around and auction it off. Although the reality of the auctions is that a large percentage of the listings are just by people trying to rip off people who don't do their research.

GoDaddy tends to offer discounts on most of their major products. From what little I know about the pricing in the industry, you can often find a promo code that is at or below cost. They do this by trying to up sell you at every turn and then going back to the normal price after the first year, but you can still save a lot of money with some great deals this way.

The most popular coupon code from GoDaddy is always whatever discount they are offering on their core business, .com domain name registration. A lot of times, for the reasons mentioned above, the savings are better than you can find anywhere else. Their margins on .com domain names are razor thin and you should definitely take advantage of that.

The other mainstay of the GoDaddy discount code world are promotional prices for new domain name extensions. Whenever a new domain name extension is made available, GoDaddy usually releases a new promo code that brings the price to very near cost. This gets them the lucrative business of the people who bulk register huge numbers of popular domain names in the first few days after release. If you do this, I hate you and you are making life miserable for the rest of us, but you should definitely take advantage of one of these promos.

GoDaddy also tends to release discount codes for some of the other popular domain names like .org, .net, and .mobi, as well as major country specific extensions. These come and go so even if you didn't see a promo code last time you registered a domain name, check back here again because there might be a new one.

Finally, GoDaddy is always releasing new promo codes for random products. A discount on Godaddy hosting is almost always available but you can save money even on some products that I wouldn't think would be that popular. So basically, no matter what you are buying at GoDaddy, you should visit your pals at Hive Save and see if there is a discount code available.

The truth is, a lot of people hate GoDaddy because of the blatant attempts to squeeze every last dollar out of their customers. However, if you can manage to ignore the almost desperate attempts to up sell, and you have a GoDaddy discount code, you will find that they offer prices that anyone not as big as them would have a hard time matching.
