Most domainers stop at the registration duration screen to switch to a 1 year registration when registering a domain name with Godaddy - but perhaps less experienced users don’t.
In any case, as has been covered by other bloggers here and here, Godaddy have changed their default registration duration to 5 years - instead of the previous 2 - to increase revenue.
Ok, ok.... I have remianed very patient about this problem hoping that a fix would come soon but this is terrible! My PC, once it has been sitting for any period of time and all of the sleep and hibernation functions have kicked in it simply does NOT wake up! EVER! I have to hard boot this thing every single morning and go through the whole "Reboot Normally", etc... This is so annoying, I can not possibly be the only person having this issue. Seriously - how do you release an O.S. with so many issues?!?! Suffice to say, although I am sure to remain a loyal windows customer, this Vista thing has been very very disappointing. 5 years later and you made the buttons look better, wow - nice work!
