    GoDaddy is a terrible registrar

    Every time again when I buy a domain from someone who uses GoDaddy there are problems - the transfer is denied, something else goes wrong, you name it... Then their horrendous interface... Whoever's still using them: abandon this misbehavior as quickly as possible, do your peers a favor and move to a decent registrar!

        We use them, and have no problems . . . of course, once we buy a domain it stays ours.

          I have 200 domains at BlueRazor (same as Godaddy) and never had a problem with sale/transfer.

                  GoDaddy sucks balls like no other registrar.

                  I detest buying domains registered there but sometimes I just deal with it and transfer them to Moniker right away.

                      Go daddy sucks

                      I regged there to have someone internally transfer a domain there.

                      I've been trying to move that domain out for 4 months now. really bites!

                        1. Their interface is shitty
                        2. Managing domains takes too much time

                              Ok, well the 1st two are of opinion, so I can't argue with what you think, but what makes a domain less safe on GD?

                                I rotate domains on a near daily basis with them (buy and sell). I have yet to have a single problem the past several years.

                                I hope I don't jinx myself.

                                    yeah, i have heard true horror stories about their hosting service...most of the domain troubles I have heard are from people that did something wrong, and then bitch when they get a domain snagged from them....but yeah, their hosting service is terrible from what I hear

                                      We been with godaddy for 4 years now and never had a problem that includes transferring domains, changing dns, adding nameservers, change password, etc. Not one problem with them.

Today I bought several new ones and they were "live" in less than 6 hours on my server...

                                                                                                  If you look at all the people with issues with godaddy its the same scenario. They get F'd over, and can get no support.

                                                                                                  I've sent 22 emails to godaddy requesting some level of resolve from them and gotton NOT ONE response...

                                                                                                  willysbirthday 'at' gmail.com if you are one of the godaddy reps here that are spending your resources trying to have clean PR rather than fixing actual issues.
