During a special Super Bowl commercial television show that aired on CBS last night, GoDaddy’s 2017 Super Bowl commercial was debuted. GoDaddy’s commercial doesn’t discuss domain names, but it does feature GoDaddy’s new GoCentral website builder tool.

Here is a description of the Super Bowl commercial, as shared by GoDaddy:

The new GoDaddy Super Bowl ad is called “Good Morning” and introduces a new character who personifies the Internet …… with the idea that no one knows the Internet like GoDaddy.

The :30 spot is packed with humorous Internet references designed to appeal to women and men of all ages. At the heart of the long-term campaign launch is a promotion for GoDaddy’s innovative new website building service: GoCentral.

GoDaddy’s 2017 Super Bowl commercial will air

My GoDaddy representative emailed me (and other clients) to let us know about a price increase for .net domain name registrations, renewals, and transfers. The price increase is a result of the registry’s price increase that is being passed along to customers. The $1 price increase goes into effect on February 1, 2017.

I presume other domain registrars are going to also increase the prices for .net domain names. It is possible that some registrars will increase their prices by more than $1/per name, and it is also possible that some registrars (that have higher prices) will not pass the increase to its customers. I would think it would make sense to try and renew or transfer .net domain names prior to February 1 to save some money if your registrar is also increasing the cost of .net domain names

The content of the email that was sent to me from GoDaddy is shared below. Check with your registrar for details:
