Domain prices are increased last two years and now price of any domain fluctuates in between 12.95$-15$.

Xidomains.com  - 12.95$+ service tax (Enom)
Gossimer.com  - 13$+80 cents+ tax (enom)
Gandi.net  -15$
namecheap.com  - 11$+ TLD (enom)

There's one twist here that most of us need to know; godaddy has many resellers so make sure you check if the reseller is using GD services or not.

Godaddy! Actually, please don't!

Specifically, GoDaddy appears to be returning incomplete WHOIS information to Namecheap, delaying the transfer process. This practice is against ICANN rules.

***Update 12:45 PT – GoDaddy has confirmed they have finally unblocked our queries. The transfer queue is being cleared and all transfers should go smoothly from here on. Many thanks to our customers and supporters for bringing this issue the attention it deserved!

And.... The first sentence in the comments...

Thanks for the update and transparency guys!

Says worlds about the company there.

That's just so douchey on GoDaddy's end...
