Godaddy steals one of my domains

10-12-2010, 05:56 PM

So I was told not to have Godaddy as a registrar, and I didn't heed the advice. Last year, someone hacked my godaddy account and changed my DNS to their servers (all traffic redirected), and godaddy gave me some shit about "We have no idae how that happened and we don't keep logs of who logs into your account blah blah blah".

That should have been my first clue.

Today I get a notice they have stolen an adult domain of mine because it was against their rules. Was nothing but a single page that redirected to an affiliate program (totemcash I think).

What was I thinking leaving my domains at Godaddy?!?!?! They are scammers, but I'm a idiot - which is worse???

Yes true. But Godaddy hasn't told their side. They just took the domain.

I started with Moniker.com but didn't move all my domains. I didn't really care about the domain, since it was just parked. I am more flabberghasted that they would steal it.

My suspiscion is that someone wanted to snipe the domain, so they made a complaint about it to get the ball rolling on getting it deleted. If I wanted to steal a domain, that's what I would do.

anybody but godaddy

Moniker, name.com, namecheap, dynadot and internet.bs are all good registrars.

That has happened in the past and I've warned about it on here multiple times. Also, one spam complaint and godaddy holds your domain for a $200 or so ransom. No one seems to really listen until it happens to them.

Yes of course. elizabethnobriga.com - a model I met years ago that wanted a site. We never really did anything with it and I just pointed it to totemcash.

Godaddy is horrible! I lost a couple of domains a few years back because of their shitty system.

I would highly recommend Moniker

They didn't say why. I just replied "What do I do now?" and see if there is recourse, or if they just really steal them. Tomorrow I move all my domains to Moniker.

I agree with that other guy - we never move and never listen until it is too late. Like smoking or wearing your seatbelt or using a condom or whatever - once you got the herpes, it's here to stay.

At least it wasn't on a domain that was of real value.

I am pointing my finger at myself and saying "I told me so!!"

namecheap did a promo a while ago where you got a free SSL cert with every domain registration or transfer.

godaddy certs look like 49.99 per domain and namecheap rapidssl is 10.95

I'd agree with you if I considered the domains I had at Network Solutions. Unfortunately, I lost that three sided argument. Turned out to be a lot more productive to buy new domains and have all my trade partners redirect their links.

With Directnic, I have no problems.

sorry but i dont belive they did this...must be different reasons than they just stealing you redirect domain - they earn millions and million and things like this could cost them thousands of dollar more if it was true than taking your sites..

I don't post much, but must have posted half a dozen times advising people not to use godaddy.

They are scum.

Then all the usual people chime in... "well, I've been with them years and they are fine blah blah"...

BS!

Namecheap ARE the best.... Fuck godaddy.

I just use my hosting company, the planet, to purchase my domains as well. It's pretty easy all being there in one place. Guess I'm just lazy.

I have my domains spread out, however Godaddy in 7 years has never given me any problems at all. To be honest the live support is much better than the competition.

I want to buy contextual links on quality blogs
