GoDaddy Now Registering .me Domains: Does Anyone Care?

Jul 23, 2008 by Matt | Posted in Domains 2 Comments

GoDaddy, one of everyone’s least favorite registrars, has started registering .me domains. At $40 for a two-year registration, they’re not the cheapest domains on the block, but there certainly are some interesting possibilities. Such as

  • Kick.me
  • la.me
  • Digg.me
  • throwabrickat.me
  • Aweso.me
  • give.me/some_money

Could be fun, right? Too bad, GoDaddy doesn’t like it when you have fun.

GoDaddy has already taken most of the “good” ones and put them up for auction. And then there are issues with multiple people trying to register a domain, all of them being charged and recieving reciepts, but only one getting the domain in the end (asssuming GoDaddy doesn’t just sit on the domain).

So… We have a new TLD with potentially cool naming possibilities, but GoDaddy screws it up.

    Many people seem to care if the rush for them is any indication. I got three good ones myself: adapt.me, horrify.me, and streamline.me.

    I also got a few good ones. You Should use PROMO CODE CHH 2 at Godaddy Check out and it will save you $5 on each .Me Domain.I think its amazing how Godaddy had 20k registrants in the first 24 hours of the .Me launch last week.There is still a lot of great options available in the .Me world. I wouldn’t underestimate .Me’s yet. I rather be the guy saying “I told you so” than be the one saying “I should Of”
