Wow $89.99 annual fee, you gotta sell a lot of domains to make that work.

Have about 250 or so with them and about 600 overall..
Yahoo when they were giving them for 2.99
And the next major one is HostWay.com

With 250 if I save $0.50 per year per domain their annual fee is paid.
And I don't have to search for coupon codes on the forums.

n The price they offer for a Domain Club member is cheaper then the coupon price.
n I paid the membership fee for 3 years which gets a 20% discount on 89.99

Not a bad investment considering the # of domains I have.
