How to Get the Lowest Prices at GoDaddy

GoDaddy has a bunch of pricing tiers and discounts. The best deal depends a lot on the size of your domain name portfolio.

If you’re a domainer, you shouldn’t be paying list price for domain name registrations at GoDaddy (or any registrar, for that matter).
Since a lot of readers use GoDaddy, I thought it worthwhile to run down the various discount options at the registrar.
Price is one of the most important considerations when choosing a domain name registrar, according to last year’s Domain Name Wire survey.
GoDaddy doesn’t always win on pricing, but below are some of the ways to make sure you’re not overpaying.

Coupons
There are a many coupon-clipping domainers out there, and good GoDaddy coupons are plentiful. For example, right now if you search Google for “GoDaddy”, you should get an ad link for a $.99 .com.
But these coupons come with catches. They usually only work for one registration and you rarely find big discounts on renewals.
Yes, you can game the system. There’s even a guy selling a guide on eBay about how to get up to 5 domains at GoDaddy for just $4.31 each (72 copies sold!).
But let’s be honest. This is a real pain, and not scalable if you have a big portfolio. I bought the above mentioned guide to learn more, and the time spent reading it and following the process is worth more than the money saved.
Think about the opportunity cost of wasting time chasing these coupons and deals. Unless you get some ego boost from being able to game the system, it’s not worth doing this unless you’re just trying to register a name or two.

Bulk Pricing
GoDaddy offers all customers bulk discounts when they buy or renew more than 5 domains at a time. Pricing for .com registrations and renewals drops to $8.29 at the 100 domain mark…that’s 100 in a single transaction.
This is a great price that matches other GoDaddy discount programs, but the bulk thresholds can be tough to meet. Unless you register or renew domains in large batches, the standard bulk discounts won’t save you as much as other GoDaddy programs.

Premier Services
GoDaddy’s Premier Services program provides a lot of benefits, including personalized account management, added security and discounted pricing.
To qualify at the Gold level, you need 250 domains under management and you have to spend $5,000 a year at GoDaddy. At this level you get .com domains for $9.09, but you have to reach out to your account manager to perform transactions in order to get the discount.
There’s also the Platinum level, which doesn’t have a fixed requirement but is reserved for large portfolios and important accounts. These customers will soon get Domain Discount Club (see below) pricing for free. This means they get lower pricing and can take care of transactions themselves through the website.

Domain Discount Club
Domain Discount Club is a paid program that gives you discounts on domain name purchases at GoDaddy. GoDaddy recently changed the pricing on its Domain Discount Club to $120/year.
The program gives discounts on .com and basically all domain names, including new TLDs.
.Com domains are $8.29 a year with the program (plus the 18 cent ICANN fee, of course). That matches bulk pricing at the 100+ domain level, but you get the pricing even on a single domain name.
Discounts on new TLDs can be substantial given their high regular registration prices. GoDaddy isn’t known for having the lowest prices on new TLDs, but the Domain Discount Club pricing looks good. I spot checked some of the domains against registrars that traditionally have lower prices on new TLDs and found that GoDaddy’s pricing with the membership beat them.
The discount program also includes a free GoDaddy Auctions membership ($5 value) and the highest level of rev share with GoDaddy’s parking, for what it’s worth.

Which is best?
Obviously, the best deal is to qualify for GoDaddy’s Platinum level of Premier Services, which gives you the Discount Domain Club pricing for free. But most people won’t qualify for this. If you have a sizable portfolio, and even if you qualify for Gold Premier Service, you can make a pretty good business case for paying $120 a year for the Domain Discount Club.
Update: as many commenters pointed out you can use your coupon prowess to get a discount on Domain Discount Club annual fees, which makes it an even better deal.

HOME OFFICE DESIGNS

Having a well-planned office structure in the home and equipped with all the required facilities may result in better work performance and relaxing mindset even when you are not in the office. It is very important to have a home office that sooth the mind to make it always fresh and relaxed to have a focused approach in work. It is very common practice in today’s word having an office at home or so call home office.

When planning of establishing an office at home, everything needs to be in a manner including modular furniture, desk, home office equipment, storage, phone service.  We will talk about this one by one so as to build a perfect home office.

Home Office furniture

The most important aspect of your home office is the furniture. That include a lot of things like regular home office furniture, Designer home office furniture or modular home office furniture. All type of furniture is basically for various type of business requirement.

For a normal IT home office, a regular office furniture like a regular home office desk with only 1 or slabs will work.

On the other hand, home office of a lawyer may have modular Home office furniture that may include not only a good bench or Sofa set with chairs but also will involve a large number of bookshelves to carry a lot of books.

But on a different note, the furniture in the home office for clothing collections or wearables may be found in form of designer home office furniture with some high design sofa set with a designer table and chairs. It may have some beautiful and soothing mirrors to check trials.

Home Office Décor

Home office décor depends on both the nature of work as well as the nature of the person who will be using the home office. Nature of work provides the area and suitable position in the home for a home office whereas nature of person decides the style of décor like the color theme, design, location.

For small size work (or like an IT Home office), a very space would be required and could be adjusted even in the corner of any room or a small separate room but for the specific business requirement, the home office space needs to be good and dedicated one and separated from other living areas. Décor also involves the supporting theme of home offices like curtains, lights fan, AC etc and taste varies person to person. Some prefer single color whereas other prefer contrast.

It is very important to have a relaxing décor for the home office.

Home Office Storage

Another major aspect of a home office is storage. Home office storage is extremely important. There should be enough storage available in the home office. While planning the home office, one should consider storage requirements upfront since it is very difficult or a painful task to add storage later due to risk that additional storage may or may not match the existing theme or color scheme. So it is always recommended to choose the storage style and capacity at the time of planning of home office. Home office storage comes in various designs and styles. The best planning of home office considers having the storage capable furniture so as to have the optimal use of space. Storage can be set up along with the attached Almira’s along with walls or as separate storage units. There are a lot of hanging storage spaces available in the market that have a very good storage capacity but take the least space. So it is all about the requirement of the business and home office that decided the storage. But again to remind, always plan the storage much before actual setup to avoid a regret or setup change later.

Home office equipment:

Now when the basic home office is set up the next step is setting up the required equipment. The general rule for Home office is to have as less equipment as possible so as to make the office easily manageable and use as fewer resources as possible and less maintenance cost. Basic home office equipment includes the below:

1) Computer: The basic requirement for almost all type of home office is a computer. It can be a desktop based system or laptop based on need. Any Home office is almost impossible to run without a computer.

2) High-Speed Internet: To run any business smoothly it is required that the Home office is connected with the main office and that creates the need for High-speed internet. It can be a Dongle based or broadband but is almost mandatory for any Home office.

3) Home office Phone: Telephone is another essential requirement for any home office. Home Office phone service can be a single line or multi-line service based on the need of the Home office.

4) Home office Desk: Now this is the main platform where the person spends most of the time while working in a home office. So the Home office desk should be designed or built as per the requirement with sufficient storage, and working capacity. The desk should have a measured dimensions “height, length and width” to make the work as comfortable as possible. A study has revealed that an improper desk leads to many backs or joint related problems in long run.

5) Surge Protector: This is very important to have all the electric equipment’s in Home office to be placed only on surge protected extension cables too as to save it from electricity fluctuation.

6) Printer/Fax: Some home office required a fax machine or printer during their work so it is always advisable to buy the same after good planning. In the case of fewer prints, an ink jet printer is good but in the case of a lot or prints all day, it should be a laser printer.

7) Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS): For the Home office where continuous work is required, the equipment’s should be supplemented with UPS so as to save the ongoing work in case of power Outage.

So overall, a Home office design should be well planned in advance in term of all the things mentioned in the article and this will surely result in saving a lot of costs and repeated work thereafter. 

10 PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES

This is well-known fact these days that the Project Management is the backbone of the project. Be its planning of resources, be its effort and cost estimation, be it anything related to project, efficient Project Management is most important and crucial factor in the success of the project.

In the article, we will discuss the most commonly tools and techniques being used by successful leaders. We will talk about the techniques first followed by the Tool:

Techniques:

1) Brainstorming

This is a most common technique used at the very early stage of everything. This is basically having an open discussion with all stakeholders involved and narrow down to the specific path. This is the easiest way to start a new activity or decision-making process.

2) Critical path (Flow diagram):

This technique helps a Manager to get a quickest and the slowest timelines of the project. In this, all the major milestones act as intermediate destinations that create a path from start to end of the project. Then with help of proper stakeholders, Manager conclude a set of mandatory destination for the project and a way leading through Mandatory destinations is called critical path. This gives Managers a flexibility of delay for the destinations that are not on critical path.
