Nope, no taxes.
If you use their Australian site they already include taxes however. The payment even know shown and charged in Australian dollars will be processed offshore so you may have to pay some fees from your banking institution.
Been this price for ages hasn't it?
They claim it is 41% off.
41% off what?
Off their standard pricing.
Guugle.com.au is available, just so everyone knows
Gettin' a free upvote for "don't say you weren't warned".
Seconded.
CAREFUL if you try a name and its available and you dont take it dont be surprised if its snatched for ransom prices
DO NOT check to see urls available at godaddy you are feeding them names that are desired
use katz global to check url availability I never lost a name doing so
the one time I used godaddy their ransom reseller bought both urls I checked very soon afterwards
I didnt buy them since they were obscure and never bought before now unused for over a decade by these resellers
Every variant of OzBargainSucks is available, so let's see if anything happens, all are currently normal prices. The bargain is OzBargainSucks.club at $1.52. The *sucks.club URL is great.
I wonder if haters.club is still free. Dang, a grand? And $32k + $21k/yr for haters.co? What the?
Mine was obscure yet intelligent or at least snatch worthy
Try some other ones especially if never ever bought before and sounds useful
I was thinking *sucks might trigger something, remove the 'sucks' and see if the website exists. Gotta make the haters pay.
I'll see if I can think of something else.
KoalaBait, CatFurniture (bar .com), RedneckHell are all available, RedneckHeaven is missing .com & .net.
I'll check on them later.
@D C: Nothing so far, maybe they've stopped or figure they've already got enough held to ransom. Maybe I've missed their trigger words.
Well, still nothing.
The only thing of note is that OzBargainSucks.club is now up to $2.
Maybe GoDaddy have stopped hijacking interesting domain, or the ones I checked weren't deemed to be interesting.
@D C:
I lost my 2 domains around 15 years or more ago so I suppose back then as it was earlier days of internet there was a bigger rush to buy and hold names for exorbitant resale.
Both URLs I wanted were never ever used or sold before and suddenly they were in the hands of resellers. I enquired about one and was quoted several thousand dollars. Now 15 years later both URLs have never been used at all but float under control of these resellers.
Possibility is some hackers had a backdoor or it was some insiders doing this by scraping domain URL searches which people generally only search for URLs that are wanted.
Never had that issue with them.
Bought a domain without their 'privacy protection' addon and had three weeks of non-stop spam phone calls and emails offering me web services from Asia and India immediately afterwards.
Super annoying (but seems to have died down now).
Having to pay extra for a 'feature' other hoists provide automatically is bullshit.
Go elsewhere. The price difference is negligible/non-existent.
Unfortunately this will happen with any registrar you may choose if you don't opt to use WHOIS Privacy to protect your details unfortunately WHOIS Privacy is not allowed on .AU domain names. This has nothing to do with the registrars companies are scraping the WHOIS System, for this information automatically on new registrations.
I paid $20 (I forgot if AUD or USD) for 2 years at uniregistry. No spam or marketing phonecalls unlike godaddy in the past. I think the extra in conversion rate is probably worth it.
I've moved mine away from godaddy (just don't mention that elephant in the room). I still get spam and robocalls from them. F'ers.
In this case you're probably just better off buying it here locally from VentraIP. Specially now Uniregistry will have to charge GST as well so you will have that to pay as well as the foreign conversion fees if your banking institution charges those.
Managed to snare <my surname>.net several years ago; use it for mail redirect. Works a treat. I haven't had a lot of spam, but we have had it for years so maybe people aren't so interested anymore.
nahhh, there just waiting for something significant to go through while they sit on you macs sniffing your public ports… 8)
Any recommendations for domain names apart from godaddy?
For .au? I like Only Domains (owned by Instra who are NZ based). VentraIP are honest too. The rest of them are owned by MelbourneIT now so stay away.
For .com; Gandi, DNSimple, NameCheap.
VentraIP, OR find a good reliable Synergy Wholesale Reseller. For example Net Virtue or Netorigin. and stay away from anything owned by Melbourne IT or Dreamscape Networks https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/wh_company_structure
If you shop around you can get .com.au for $10 for the first 2 years. New registrations only.
Wholesale pricing on all .au domain names are $19.25 AUD https://www.auda.org.au/industry-information/registrars/regi… because Go Daddy is directly accredited no wholesale provider in between they can sell it pretty close to wholesale rate and only make a few sense of profit.
ANS, on the other hand has a wholesale provider in between and would have to sell domain names at a loss to match that price. Because their wholesale price is nowhere near that.
where can i get this $10 price?
Taxes on top I think?
