Not to take this discussion too far off topic, but I can't recommend GoDaddy
for domain registration.  Do a google search for GoDaddy complaints and
you'll see what I mean, but basically, they have a long history of not
following ICAN rules (ICAN is the organization that manages the internet
domain name system for the .com domains and
others) and they will also do all they can to lock you into their service,
again in violation of ICAN policies.  Yes, they are cheap, but there are
other places to register domains that are just as cheap, and you don't have
to put up with all the ridiculousness.

Don't GoDaddy!
