GoDaddy plans fresh domain investor tier of Domain Discount Club
Fresh tier will include domain investor tools that other users don’t need.
GoDaddy is introducing a fresh tier to its Domain Discount Club (DDC), a program that offers discounts and additional features.
DDC right now has over 100,000 members. Many of these are domain investors, but others are bulk clients and agencies.
These other groups probably aren’t interested in features like Afternic self-brokering and Domain Academy. So, GoDaddy is moving these features into a fresh domain investor tier.
The registrar states it’s developing fresh features, perks, and events for this tier beyond what is right now offered.
GoDaddy will automatically move DDC accounts operated by investors into this fresh tier.
A question that’s likely on top of everyone’s mind: Will it cost more?
It won’t cost more at first, anyway. The firm confirmed to Reglike that investor clients will get a complimentary upgrade to the fresh tier. It also stated that upgraded members will not see a price change anytime soon.
This suggests to me that perhaps fresh DDC members who choose the investor tier will pay more. So it might be worth signing up ahead of the change if you’re contemplating joining.
