so i registered a domain name along with 3 others a few days ago 20.sept, my card was charged for $6, so i thought it is for the .com domain which i registered 1st, and the other 2 .net will be charged , too. the next morning i got a f-ing suprise, typed the 1st address in my browser, the domain i tried to register was registered with somedy else on 21. sept - a day i registered it through 1and1.com some link farm link, so i freaked out and checked with godaddy the other 2 were still not processed, I just registered the domains with godaddy and the they were processed in a few minutes and i could already start using them. at least i did not lose them.. after a few hrs(24hrs since the registration) i got a mail from the security staff that my card could not be charged and all that shit....
that my accnt was not activated and nothing will be charged if i don't dont send them a passport copy and so on, but why the hell was my accnt charged for $6 then?? just doesn't make sense. so it turns out like this - they stole one of my domains, charged me some mystical fee altough they said that my accnt is not even activated and will not be charged, i could easilly lose the other 2 domains if i did not register them with godaddy as they were still free 24hrs after registration and any of their agents or anyone else could grab it, so all i can say is, stay away!!

It is a big company and after I saw their ad on PC magazine Februarry 2007 edition, I never had any doubt that they are a trustworthy business.
But turns out that they are not, after the problem yesterday I
found 100s of complaints about their ways of business just searching google a few minutes - also about charging people for no reason, charging
people for no reason months after they have stopped to use their service and many more...

I am sure the net is full of 1000s and 1000s of more
