It wasn't the first registrar I heard about, but it was the first register I heard about besides Network Solutions, which used to be a monopoly, and charged (IIRC) $70 per domain. GoDaddy was pretty damn customer-friendly by comparison.
- dangrossman 15y agoIt was $70 for a minimum 2 year registration, $35/year, a price they still charge to this day.
- cookiecaper 15y agoYeah, GoDaddy made its name as one of the first registrars to offer domains around the $10 price point right after NS's monopoly was removed. They've basically just ridden that wave since then and have tried to capitalize on the brand recognition when the only thing a small business owner knows is that you have to use GoDaddy to get a website.
