Dear Marcos Menendez,

On July 1, 2010, VeriSign®, the registry for .COM and .NET, will increase prices – .COM will go up 7%, and .NET by 10%.

The increase will be passed to registrars like Go Daddy and then, unfortunately, to consumers like you.

As of July 1, we will be forced to raise registration and renewal* prices for these two popular top-level domains.

If you wish to avoid this price increase, you can renew your domain names by June 30 and add another year to your current expiration dates. You have the option to register or renew for multiple years and lock in long-term savings. Of course, should you have any questions, please give us a call at 1-480-505-8821.

Thanks as always for being a Go Daddy customer.

Bob Parsons
CEO and Founder

Lesson: Every cloud has a silver lining.  You may be “forced” to raise prices or transfer over costs but there is no reason why you can not turn it in to limited time/act now and save email marketing offer. Smart GoDaddy.com… I don’t like it, but smart.

MDC launched “Educators Lead the Way” a monthly eNewsletter dedicated to helping educators help their students make the decision to go to college by providing advise, answers and tips on how to get high school students to decide on college.

The inaugural issue was met with the kind of response that brings a tear to our marketing eye. “This newsletter is perfect for MDC. I have been waiting for this —–for a long time. I got it and immediately sent it out to all my seniors and parents. Many other CAP Advisors in MDCPS are also getting all their students on e-mail. You can definitely reach more students this way!!!!!!!!!-“ College Assistance Program Advisor

You can beat reviews like that.
