They always find ways to beat out the others, he's right about people buying from them, they are already very safe and a well known company, I may even buy from them later.
$10 is too high there are other companies offering domains with privacy for $7-$8 (namecheap for one) i also dont understand why they would need to partner with godaddy they are quite capable of operating alone
google name draws the crowd ...six months down the line ...we all will be waiting in line to buy from them .
I think you hit the nail on the head. I dont think selling $10 domains will do much for their bottom line. Perhaps they want to dominate hosting, but I think what you said is more probable.
Google really are starting to push the boundaries, but I guess that the 'net is so big that they still have a long way to go before their anti-competitive actions will be seriously reigned in, but which time it will be too late -- Are Google the new Microsoft?
