Buy the $.99 and $1.99 domains from godaddy, and then when they come up for renewal, pay the $8-$10 to transfer them to another registrar (I use Namecheap) to get a 1 year renewal and free privacy. Do a little research on their renewal fees or promo codes before the transfer. I have completely moved away from Godaddy except for when I'm buying new domains. Take advantage of them rather than allowing them to take advantage of you.
