    Domain Security with Godaddy

    After reading a lot of bs on these boards and a lot of negative propaganda about Godaddy on the internet. No matter what Godaddy is a Monster in the domain industry and the largest in the world. People will find bad and good with any product, but the 24/7 phone support is killer.

    Well I did become a little paranoid about my domains with godaddy...not because of what I promote but for security reasons. Since someone can crack your free email account and then request the password and then transfer out all your domains. Well these are some of the stories out there...bla, bla, bla

    So I figured the best way to secure your domains was to edit your registration information, once you do this you cannot transfer to another register or transfer to another Godaddy account for 60 days. Then just edit again, and again. My VIP rep did tell me that he can transfer a domain for me if I really needed to transfer a domain to another buyer...but I would need to contact him specifically.

    Also using http://www.domaintools.com/monitor/to watch your domains for any changes.

      Godaddy is great to register a domain. Hosting not so much but I feel a warm and comfy feeling knowing my domains sit with the largest registrar out there.

                no problems with godaddy. 24/7 phone support and a personal account rep does it for me. I would suggest not using a free email address though. I have about 400 with them and the rest at Fabulous which has a bit stronger security but I'm in the process of consolidating them all to godaddy.

                  Godaddy is fine, their e-mail support is getting much better (was complete mess 2-3 years ago).

                  They have 4,99$ coupon for .COM, .NET .ORG at this moment.

                  But if you want real 100% security, try Moniker Maxlock:

                      Vague claims? Godaddy will pull your shit on you in an instant if there's even so much as the tiniest complaint sent to them. They shoot first and ask questions later. I'm never letting my domains rest with them ever again.

                      Of course it's all just personal preference in the end. many have had bad experiences with them. THAT IS WHY YOU HEAR SO MANY NAYSAYERS. Whatever the case, if you're comfortable with them and like their setup, that's your business and you shouldn't be listening to random complaints on the internet anyways...

                            You could prove this to him by having him give you some domains to complain about and then seeing what they do about it. I like his tip, but I agree with you that they are fucked up when it comes to consistency and "actual" support for a real issue. They don't know their ass from a keyhole, but if you know you're stuff you can force their hand. I still use them though, but I'm collecting other hosts and domain providers along the way.
