If you are a fan of Godaddy and want a free domain, use the above code to register a new .CO domain name for free. Usually A$34.99 a year (on sale currently for A$9.99). You can turn auto-renew off after registration so you have the opportunity to manually renew the domain or not.

Terms: Valid for the first year of one new .CO registration per customer; not valid for renewals or transfers. Offer expires April 1, 2014. After initial year, domain will automatically renew at the then-current renewal rate until cancelled. You may cancel automatic renewal by visiting your GoDaddy Account or by contacting GoDaddy customer service.

Mod: Referral links not allowed for 1st time posters.

Edit - Looks like GoDaddy has decided to end this promo early. Here's a link to an image of the actual promo flyer: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiT0Fi3CYAAKS2g.jpg

    Good deal. Just registered my surname.co. Autorenew is automatically set to off. No CC details required.

  • Scrooge McDuck on 13/03/2014 - 09:12

    Good deal.

  • dtox on 13/03/2014 - 09:29

    Has anyone had any trouble verifying payment details? I tried both PayPal and cc

    • SnowDragon on 13/03/2014 - 14:51

      I've tried both as well, not working.

      Kind of annoyed. Hopefully it will work later.

      EDIT

      had to activate email to purchase the address

    • OzJD on 13/03/2014 - 16:22

      I got:

      There was a problem authorizing your credit. Please verify your payment information or use an alternate form of payment.

      Called them on the number provided and if was sorted within seconds.

    This coupon sucks, it wouldn't work for ta.co

      co.co was no go also.

  • idog8818 on 13/03/2014 - 10:11

    nice…Reg one.

  • alphaomega on 13/03/2014 - 10:15

    Just worked. Didn't really need it but who knows.

    The problem with .co domains is the renewal cost. It's around $29.99 now.

    • ryang on 13/03/2014 - 10:29

      Yep. And a domain for one year is pretty limited in its usage..

    • alphaomega on 13/03/2014 - 11:03

      $30 isn't much if you're using it commercially.

      • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2014 - 14:51

        it is compared to a much more useful .com address which is going to be cheaper.

        • alphaomega on 13/03/2014 - 15:00

          Except when the .com address isn't available, which is often the case.

        • whodidthat on 13/03/2014 - 19:58

          There are cheaper options

  • 2046smh on 13/03/2014 - 10:30

    Does it cost anything to transfer away from go daddy afterwards?

    • whodidthat on 13/03/2014 - 10:37

      It shouldn't but even with another company .co renewal is pricey.

      • rack on 13/03/2014 - 10:39

        Ventraip charges $30 for transfer i think.

    • Wolfy on 13/03/2014 - 19:22

      Most Registrars charge a minimum of 1 year renewal fee when transferring a domain to them.
      The extra year is then added to your domain expiry, so you are really just paying the renewal fee at the new company, and GoDaddy should not charge anything to transfer the domain away.

    I thought the consensus was that GoDaddy was Satan… Has something changed?

    • alphaomega on 13/03/2014 - 11:03

      GoDaddy isn't Satan. It's just that they've both been on the same team.

      Awww come on guys, we can't do a deal with Satan no matter how cheap it is! GoDaddy are the ones who are constantly lobbying the government to implement SOPA/CISPA like laws every year.

  • phobaphobic on 13/03/2014 - 11:32

    Godaddy. They will scope out which domains are popular after a year, and steal them.

  • chewbot on 13/03/2014 - 13:06

    I notice that it's trying to sell me "privacy protection" for $9.11.

    Is that a concern?
    (I've never had a domain before).

    • AJW on 13/03/2014 - 13:23

      You will get spammed via email and postal from domain name 'renewal' companies (transfer requests disguised as a renewal). I get about 1 per domain per month, so not really. Unless you have a concern about your name and address being made public of course - but you can use an alias, who is going to know :)

      • chewbot on 13/03/2014 - 13:25

        Thanks AJW.

        Is there any real reason not to use a fake address your aware of?

        • AJW on 13/03/2014 - 13:45

          I use our company address on clients behalf, so half the trips I make to the post office (when I get an email saying 'You Have Mail') are only for these stupid spam letters. The AU Registry sends reminders that by law we need to keep details correct and up to date for .au domains, but there seems no laws governing the .com / .com ones

          I've never had anything legitimate sent to the domain address apart from offers (spam) regarding selling, buying or renewing (transferring) the domain name, so as long as your email is real (for renewal and management purposes) the address doesn't appear to matter.

    • alphaomega on 13/03/2014 - 14:55

      Without Privacy Protection your details are listed with the domain, if someone cares to look. This occasionally leads to other registrars sending you renewal letters wanting you to pay them, but I don't think that's a big problem anymore. If you want to keep your name, address, phone number etc private then you can pay for Privacy Protection. In doing so GoDaddy will list its info instead of yours, so your details aren't listed. If you choose not to pay for Privacy Protection you can always log in and update your details - however if you list false info your domain can be technically be taken from you, but I don't know of that happening.

  • TomGum on 13/03/2014 - 13:44

    got myself myhd.co not sure what i will do with it now.

    Good try GoDaddy. But sorry - I am not coming back.

  • TomGum on 13/03/2014 - 14:07

    also got mydb.co hmmm i think thats it for me.

    • alphaomega on 13/03/2014 - 14:44

      Did you get both .co domains using the same account or using separate ones? It says 1 per customer above so I'm checking whether that's the case or not.

      • TomGum on 13/03/2014 - 20:23

        Two accounts. I had two accounts with them already.

  • Gdsamp on 13/03/2014 - 21:32

    Free website. I'm not complaining.

  • andy911 on 17/03/2014 - 19:46

    Why is it that I think GD are scamming people six ways to Sunday. Will they switch on auto-renew later on, have some ridiculous transfer fee… who knows.
    Watch out for the endless pages automatically adding on extra$ that you have to deselect.
