[QUOTE="newviewit, post: 2259351, member: 106184"] Just found this out and thought some of you might not know... Godaddy is making some serious money overcharging on foreign exchange if you're getting billed in any currency other than $US. Currently I'm getting billed in Canadian $ and godaddy's foreign exchange rates are horrible compared to what I would get if charged with the actual advertised $US rate. For example: .co = $37 Canadian but it shows $25 US That's a foreign exchange of 1.48 Canadian to one $US which is insane! It should be at 1.29... End result is for each $10US billed we're being charged $15 Canadian, when it should be $13. I'm sure this is the same if you're from OZ, UK, NZ, etc. Contacted my vip account rep and it's a known issue, and there's nothing that can be done. But if enough of us threaten/or actually cancel our Godaddy accounts this might get fixed... please email your account reps if you are reading this as this is criminal and should be stopped asap. I'm currently looking into another registrar. From what I can see Namesilo seems to be the cheapest.... What's your thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
