I've had domains there since 1998. They were not the only game in town back in the late 90's, early new millennium, but they had the best UI (other than the shitty upsell attempts) and "deals". In the past few years, as long I found coupon codes to bring the price down within range to other registrars, I didn't feel compelled to transfer domains outta there. But GD has eliminated almost all discount codes related to renewals. In the past few months, the cheapest I had found was $5 off the $14.99 renewal ($9.99 renewal) and GD is still charging the whopping $9.99 amount for privacy. GD is also trying to sell their discount domain club which is supposed to give members renewal discounts, but the fee to "join" is a joke (meaning outrageous) factored against the discount.
