So call me cheap, but if they charge $8.95/year and spend millions on Superbowl adds and podcast advertizing I should be able to get a better price from a company who doesn't bombard me with so many ads. Kinda like the onesuite thing. They can offer the best phone card rates because they don't rely on mega advertizing, so their overhead is low and the savings are passed along to the customers. Also, I was highly unimpressed with Godaddy's accessibility from text-based browsers when trying to register domains through their system. Basically, it seems impossible, unless I missed something somewhere. Links (l i n k s) seems not to be able to handle the javascript even in the availability search, and elinks tells me Javascript is disabled even when it's enabled.
