Never liked GoDaddy's service. There are several reasons why. So moved to namecheap.
But the point here is GoDaddy by default puts all your services on auto-renewal. I am a bit paranoid over what goes on in my accounts ( especially PayPal) so i had disabled the auto renew when i saw it.
Talking about price hike, thats a marketing strategy. You usually don't get coupon codes for renewals ( if you do get, those are usually for bulk renewals ).
These service providers always lure you to register at special prices so you stick with them forever and in this case it auto renewed :\
About the cert. expiration, that seems a bit odd but better talk to GoDaddy Support, they would help you out.
