Godaddy, web hosting for domainer
Some bloggers blog just for domain flipping. They will choose nice and valuable domain name and then they will add the value to the domain by blogging. Once the domain is matured in term of Alexa and page rank, they will go to sedo.com or sitepoint.com to sell the domain.
Usually, domains buyer is most likely to buy a domain that register at international registrar such as Godaddy. This is because they also have other domains that are already register with Godaddy, thus they do not need to change registrar if you register your domain with Godaddy too.
Two things that makes domain buyer hates to move registrar is that the domain need to be renew again. For example, your domain still has 5 month till expired but you need to renew it like a new domain when changing registrar.
However, that is just a small factor. One thing that always become an issue is that your domain will lose its pagerank once the registrar company or whois information is changed. You must always remember that many people buy domain because of its pagerank, so there is no point for them to buy it if there is a risk for the pagerank to lose.
Godaddy promotion
Godaddy is having $1.99 promotion right now. If you decided to buy domain names, you can buy at Godaddy now. However, the promotion prices is for the first year only.
Don’t wait for the last day
GoDaddy sends notices at 60 days before domain expiration, 30 days, etc. but they also have a policy that *any* change in your domain contacts (including privacy settings) starts a 60 day no-transfer period. So if you wait for the alert that you are 60 days from expiration, you’ve missed your chance to transfer away from GoDaddy before renewing the domain with GoDaddy.
As you can see above, Godaddy has a policy that doesn’t let you change registrar if your domain is in 60 days of expiration. So of course you need to renew the domain at Godaddy or it will become expired. The best way is move your domain before the 60 days of expiration. Of course you will lose 60 days, but this is better than losing one year fee for renewing.
