Is Bob seeking to associate GoDaddy with the .tv extension?

Bob initially slashed the price of .tv domain names to $19.99 per year, a price seen only once before when eNom sought to increase the number of .tv registrations (eNom’s parent company is Demand Media, which is responsible for the marketing of the .tv extension and Channelme.tv).  As I reported yesterday…

Currently, GoDaddy is advertising .tv pricing at $14.99 per year.  If you EVER thought about registering some .tv names or renewing other non premium names, now is the time.  It would be difficult to believe that this will be available for the long term.

Indeed, I said renewals too!  Drop me an email, IM, or PM if you have more than just a couple of .tv names that you want to renew and I will get you in touch with a GoDaddy representative who can streamline the process of obtaining this once-in-a-lifetime discount.  I noticed that the reason some people have not taken advantage of this discounted renewal pricing is that they do not want to move away from the tools offered by eNom.  One solution is to renew as many years as you can through GoDaddy and then return to eNom by paying for one year renewal there.

This should probably be reserved for those domains not already on the Channelme.tv network since nobody knows what happens when you leave eNom and return.  There is a chance you lose all of your posts, videos, forums, etc.  That would be bad if you invested a significant amount of time on developed your channel.

GoDaddy dropped its sale price by $5 to $19.99 for new .tv registrations recently.  The low price only applies to new registrations, not renewals.  Obviously, the price does not apply to names considered premium names by Verisign; such names can only be sold by eNom.  If you were going to jump into the .tv game or register new .tv names, now is the time.  Prices have never been better than this.

Here is by no means an exhaustive list of registrars I found offering .tv names (not classified as premium names by Verisign) for the least amount of dough.  Prices are annual prices and I do not endorse or get paid by any of these registrars for mentioning them:

eNom.tv: $24.95 and it comes with ChannelMe.tv toolkit and social networking tools
dotfrog.com: $25.99 with reseller account(I am told its free); $26.75 normally
whiz.in: $25.99
Moniker.com: $27.49 client discount price; $32.99 normally
Idotz.net: $29.95 discount price today; $34.95 normally
GoDaddy: $29.99 discount price today; $39.99 normally

Keep in mind…
