    STOP recommending GoDaddy.com

    Go read their Terms. All it takes is one complaint and they will hold your domain randsom.

    100 dollars per spam complaint. 29 dollars charged to transfer the domain out (instead of paying 100).

    Just read the terms...

              Its funny I have never had a problem with them..

              The only registrar I had a problem with is network solutions who wouldnt let me transfer a domain because it was expired by 1 day..

              Instead of paying godaddy the 7 bucks I had to pay network solutions (renew) 70 bucks to get it back

                      Sosa, I gave you a warning...

                      Make sure you post when you get hit with a spam complaint...

                      With godaddy, you're guilty until proven innocent...

                                                  godaddy sucks balls, i just switched to joker.com and I like it way better.

                                                  Often times I wonder why
                                                  There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                                  When sickness comes I must decide:
                                                  When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                                          I'm with ya there. Directnic kicks ass.. never any problems at all with them. $15/year for a domain isn't bad and they won't fuck you over.

I love their domains by proxy service, and 1-800 support is available 24 hours a day. I don?t do email marketing so maybe that is why I don?t have a problem with them.

Only had one problem and it was promptly handled during a transfer from another registrar and one domain got lost in the process. They promptly found it and fixed the reg on it for me.

                                                                                                                                                                              I also have a personal account manager there because of the size of my business I do with them so I get personal attention. That usually makes things much easier when you have a direct connection to someone who can take care of any probs for you instantly.
