It's one thing if you're a huge-volume customer or have unique needs, but companies that have two price lists -- one for the far more efficient (for BOTH parties) online sales channel, and a lower one for the human-intervention sales channel, just disgust me.

There is the explanation. That is the point. GoDaddy ram their cheap price down the public's throat by TV, magazine and online advertising.

If people see an advert and decide they might want the product at that price then look at some other site to compare and see a higher price, most won't ask.
