My home mail box. :| I get a third party ad today asking me if I would like to promote my website for $35 a year. Fvck no. I want to use my own bandwidth.

Before someone asks: I know it was them because I changed my domain entry and they where the only ones with my name like that.

Are you referring to the name/addy you used as the registrant of your domain?

I got a letter (real, snail mail, USPS letter) from some place that wanted like $40/yr to renew a domain I own that expires in November. WTF?

2 years for $80 (recommended)
5 years for $180 (best value)

WTF?

Yep, that's how they get it.

Sorry it's not really GoDaddy's fault.
