1st fucked up experience with Godaddy
I know I was warned on this board, but today I had my 1st bad experience with godaddy. I must get 50 emails a week from godaddy...about renewals etc. Well the last time I spoke to my account rep he said I have multiple chances to renew my domains even after they have expired. Well today when I went to renew one that I had originally decided to let expire, it was no longer in my account...although I am still in the whois database.
Now they tell me their poilcy is that you have 18 days to renew....why the fuck did they not specify this when I had spoken to my account rep several times. My reps big thing was trying to get me to give him my cc # and a list of domains that he would renew for me...at a discount. But the discount was no better then the coupon discounts...and I don't trust any fucker with my cc#.
The domain in question had expired on April 12th, 2009, but I was unable to renew now, but I have at least 100 that I am still able to renew that have expired even longer ago. So after digging deeper and searching online...it seems that if someone has backordered the domain...then they stick to their 18 day policy...but if no one back orders it or shows interest the domain sticks around in your account...and they send you another 100 emails to renew it. So the rep on the phone says oh I can still get the domain for you, but it would be $80 since it is in the redeption period now. I said fuck you, it ant work that much to me.
What does moniker do in situations like this...since most here told me to use them for my domain portfolio.
