Since the 1990s, buying and selling domain names has been a lucrative way to make money online, turning thousands of people into part-time and full-time Domain Investors.
For the past 15 years, Discount Domain Club has stood by Domain Investors, delivering leading discounts on registrations, renewals, and transfers. But pricing is only one piece of the puzzle. To truly succeed, professional investors need the right tools, features, and services, too.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new Discount Domain Club tier designed specifically for Domain Investors: Domain Pro.
Why Domain Pro?
Domain investing has evolved. Today, it’s about more than grabbing the best price; it’s about having an edge with the right education, tools, and services to monetize.
Over the last few years, we’ve added powerful investor features to Discount Domain Club, from Domain Academy’s education platform to Self-Brokerage at Afternic. Now, with Domain Pro, we’re bringing it all together under one membership built for pros.
Domain Pro is our investor-focused membership, placing best-in-class education, tools, exclusive features, and GoDaddy’s lowest pricing all in one place. And we’re just getting started: expect even more investor-centric features and offers to be delivered exclusively through Domain Pro.
What does Domain Pro offer?
Pricing
We’re kicking off Domain Pro with an introductory $10.26 new .com registration price for all Domain Pro members! **
Beyond this, Domain Pro offers the lowest pricing available --up to 60% off, for every domain extension GoDaddy offers.
As a Domain Pro member, you’ll also access exclusive flash sales for deeper discounts.
Total Aftermarket Access
GoDaddy’s domain name aftermarket is the leading hub for buying and selling domain names, powering the success of thousands of Domain Investors worldwide.
