by Michael H. Berkens

I have received notices from several registrars and it appears that the retail price of .Co domain name registration fees are dropping in conjunction with the big Super Bowl Ad.

Dotster.com announced today that as of 7:30pm EST tonight they are beginning a 7 day sale for .Co registrations for just $11.99

The current price on Dotster,com for a .Co registration is $29.99

For all registrars that use a Logic Boxes back end the .CO sale begins around 8Pm

I heard through the GrapeVine that Godaddy.com will drop its price as of midnight tonight for .Co registrations also to $11.99 and run that promo price for one week in conjunction with the Super Bowl Promotion.

Also Dotster.com has .Co as it default extension on its site for new registrations already

You might well see .Co again show up as the default extension on drop down menus on many registrar sites for before tomorrow big game

The $11.99 price is for new registration and is not in effect for renewals.

    I LLove the very end, where she pulls on her g-strap. hahahah!

    That was just great!

    It’s as much of a shocker as the very first Godaddy commercial.

    Worst commercial I’ve ever seen.

    Seriously, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. (sorry, it was THAT bad)

    Total lack of excitement. Even the play on the lack of excitement equalled…well, just that. It was awkward, and creepy. I would have much preferred if they’d gone the traditional route and had Jenny McCarthy or some other hottie up there that would have at least pumped up the crowd a little bit.

    A digitally-rendered, genetically-engineered version of Joan Rivers? You have got to be kidding me.

    Love you Bob Parsons, and I have 155+ .COs, but that was an **Epic Fail.**

    It was great.

    The girl doesn’t and shouldn’t draw attention away from the real message.

    And it was appetizing enough for you to want to know more.

    Anything Joan Rivers, you want to know more so this had that affect.

    No, I think it was all Joan Rivers.

    Great commercial!

    @ Robert

    You’re entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine. So your statement that “it was great” is nothing more than that, a very biased opinion, seen through the lens of unbridled enthusiasm and distorted reality.

    I really think you’re more into the arguments themselves, rather than what you’re actually arguing about. Any one of us could say something, and you’d argue the other viewpoint, just to throw your two cents in there.

    It’s okay that we don’t see eye to eye. I don’t instantly say that everything in life is “great,” just because. I’m thrilled that you’re living in some sort of happy bubble, but out here in the real world, there’s a collective “WTF” echoing through the halls about that commercial.

    @Nadia

    That’s exactly the effect they were going for: for you to stay WTF!

    and get you chopping like you are right now.

    Let’s say if it was Gwenthyn Paltrow.

    Everyone would just look at her and say “Oh that’s nice” and forget all about it.

    Pretty is a dime a dozen. People forget those.

    But on the other hand.

    No one will forget Joan Rivers commercial. Yah I say the same thing, exactly:

    WTF!!

    I think that the commercial was interesting. The first thing that crossed my mind is, “Is Joan Rivers really that hot. LOL. That would have been a whole lot of plastic surgery.

    Also, since that commercial I have been picking up some .co names and I might hold on to them unless I am offered a decent price.

    I just picked up:

    MALPRACTICELAWSUITS.CO

    I am probably going to pick up blacklove.co and marinara.co as well. There are a few .co’s out there that may have some value to them.

    I’m usually a fan of GoDaddy because of their auction area and domain controls, but I can’t stand their commercials. Time to change it up.
