Offer $5.00 .com domain names on Black Friday — GoDaddy to

Firm repeats $5.00 offer starting this Friday.

Domain Name Registrar GoDaddy.com will be offering $5.00 .com domain names starting on Black Friday and running through CyberMonday (the following Monday). The firm ran a similar promotion last year.

The deal appears to be an affiliate only offer, so I’m going to have to use an affiliate link to send you to it. The link will not give you the $5.00 price until Friday.

The price does not include ICANN’s 18 cent fee.

Update: I’ve also learned that Domain.com is right now offering $3.99 .COMs. This offer is good now and ends Monday, November 28. Clients may purchase up to 10 per account. No coupon is required and the price is automatically reduced at checkout.

Does anyone know of other domain name registrars jumping on the holiday shopping bandwagon with special Black Friday discounts?
