Seems like that is the trend, lots of first year reg coupons at Godaddy, but the renewal type coupons are fading.
They ran $5.99 domain names for .ca last month but this was only due to CIRA making the wholesale offer. The typical $1 .com deals are run by the registrars themselves as loss-leader offers to attract customers, and the companies actually pay Verisign the full price even when customers pay far less.
Sorry, that's what I'm trying to say.
CIRA should institute a PERMANENT wholesale rate of 5 or 6 $ (instead of 8) for the registrars for NEW reg's.
Then, Joe the Plumber can evaluate his new .ca (as opposed to that cheaper, but definitely weaker quality, .com) website, for a few bucks less, but he'll pay the regular future renewal amount just like the .com's are doing.
(CIRA is now pulling in 16,000,000 a year. Even more incentive to boost that budget for more and better junkets, Byron)
