Its 8.99 with a non-domain purchase....in other words bundled with another one of their services.

What is the domain for? Are you going to set up a website? If so, most hosting companies include the domain with hosting. Or you can get godaddy hosting and then the domain will be 8.99.

My site is hosted on a friend's server so I don't really have the option of getting a domain thru there.

Unless your living in a box I don't see why you're looking for a cheaper price, it's $20.

Go to Google and search for "godaddy coupon". Last time I purchased a domain name instead of $12 or so, it was $2 with a coupon code I found!

Damn it wish I knew that!

Spent $9 on the domain this morning. That site confuses the hell out of me when you check out. They throw so many more other items to add to your cart when checking out it's insane.

Oh well, got the domain for $9 now. Thanks for the help
