    FUCK godaddy

    Fucking scumbags. Been with them for years and they never emailed me when 2 of my domain names expired. Now they want an $80 "restoration" fee. Fucking extortion. Either pay the fee or hope like hell no one back ordered your domain. Fucking crooks. Hey godaddy you too Bob Parsons.

              They got a "spam complaint" on one of my domains. I don't bulk mail and do not allow affiliates to do it.

              They extorted $100 out of me or they would steal my domain from me.

              Godaddy ARE scumbags. Lots of warnings here on this forum.

              Don't use them guys on anything other than throw away domains.

                  The reason they are extorting all over the place is because alot of people regsiter their domains with all those promo's. If you search you can can register .coms there for as low as 4.5$/pop.

                    I always get my domain expiring warnings from them.

                    Dont get pissed because your flawed admin skills allowed for this to happen.

                      I really don't possibly see how a totally automatic system somehow skipped you and only you. I get notices every day. You either deleted the email on accident or somehow the email got lost in cyber-space (it does happen).

                        I have a godaddy account (actually http://rebatedomains.com) as well, and I keep getting emails when the expiry date is 90 days out. I keep getting emails with a 60 day, 30 day, 15 day, 7 day notices - don't know if that changes to daily as I always renew before that.

                        They even called me and offered to lower the monthly rate to just $6.95 for

                          Flawed admin skills? Because I didn't get an email, I have flawed admin skills? If you can't contribute usefull information then

                            Off the top of my head, they send out a 90 day, 60 day, 30 day, 7 day, and a 3 day (I could be wrong on the 3), then I believe they send an email out the day it happens, PLUS they send out an email several times afterwards to remind you that your domain expired and it needs to be renewed immediately. If you didn't receive ANY of those, something must be wrong with your email.

                              That would make since, except all the other ones I got from them came thru. No godaddy email is deleted, it's all sent to the same folder. However I have no emails on these 2 particular domain names.

                                    Agreed, I don't use GoDaddy much either, but for the domain I do have with them I get all my renewal emails.

                                    Sounds like YOU'RE the problem.

                                          Never emailed you? Uhm, no, highly doubtful. They send reminder emails 90 days, 60 days, 30 days, 15 days, and 7 days, before your domain expires.

If you didn't receive ANY of those, something must be wrong with your email.
                                                Yup, I always receive plenty of notice from them.

                                                  Well I double checked. No emails on these 2 domains.

                                                    I just lost the domain to my personal site which sucked major ass since thats where alot of my e-mail was going. I told Dotster to go fuck themselves and I went over to another service and backordered my own domain. Cost me $60 but it did work -- thank god.

                                                    But I learned my lesson. Never rely on the registrars to send you an e-mail, e-mail is unreliable at best and down right worthless when put into more realistic terms, now days I signin to all registrar accounts once monthly to look for expiring domains and renew as needed.

                                                    Cant rely on others to do your thinking or legwork for you.

                                                        Dont get pissed because your flawed admin skills allowed for this to happen.

                                                        Take responsibility for your own actions, in other words.

                                                        Bingo. Try auto-renewals, they work like a champ for anyone serious about this as a business.

                                                        GoDaddy is probably the best registrar we have ever dealt with.

                                                        100's of domains, and never had one extorted from us. You must have had a really great URL for them to want it so badly.

                                                          Highly doubtful every one of them got lost in Cyberspace. They send warnings at several different intervals, like 60, 30, 10 and 5 days . . . or something like that.

                                                                                    Double check that a) your email address they have is correct, and b) that your spam filters are not filtering the address (add godaddy to your friends list/whitelist)

I got over 300 domains with them, so I always got 8+ ready for renewal at any given time ...

                                                                                              How could you miss the dozens of mails they send prior to the expire day plus the "extra benefit days"?

                                                                                              yeah fuck godaddy cause you don't care about your domains, that makes sense ;)

                                                                                                Whenever I log into my GoDaddy account to purchase a domain or one of their services, they will always add the expiring domains to the order form. Of course, there is auto-renewal and that would take away all your worries about renewing. You can set that auto-renewal option when you purchase the domain name. I only set the domain names which I do not need to the Do Not Renew option and leave the rest to renew or either just load it up for 10 years because it is a lot cheaper that way.
