Im upset about this latest update I got about my godaddy domain!

[NewHere]

At the end of 2018 ,godaddy said one price for the renewal of my domain & now 9 months later, I see they've Increased the price by R50 (that's 50 Rands, Not rupees! It's alot for my unemployed self...!) When my website posts it leads to, doesNt get even/have even 70 views (let alone 100 !) SO In cases like mine, Godaddy should Never increase the domain renewal price/cost ! 😞

Hello NewHere, I hope you are fine. Thank you for posting in GoDaddy community. You are right. You are right. But every year businesses increase or decrease and its all depends on the worldwide economic situation. I think after a year the increment of Rs. 50 is not a big change. It's affordable. This increment is for all customers not the single one. As you pay taxes in your country and every resident of that country follow GOV laws and policies. Same GoDaddy is a worldwide domain and hosting provider. Everyone follow their rules and policies.

Hi @NewHere,

Welcome to the Community!

We're sorry to hear that our price increase has caused you dismay. However, as the Registries (that provide the domains) increase their prices, so must GoDaddy increase them to the customer. The only way to lock in a price is to renew for multiple years, so you don't have to bear yearly required increases. We don't base our prices on a sliding scale for use of domains (like royalty-use on views), but for global acquisition.
