You champion network solutions then laugh? Oh dear. It gets funnier so please don't stop now :)


Oh and...50 dodgy domain companies.

Because it is NOT the registrars place to be able to tell you what you can and cannot do with your domain.

They sell domains, you buy domains, it is your domain.


The registrar cannot tell you what you can and cannot publish, that is ICANN's job.

OAEN, thanks for your kind words. I'll look into contacting ICANN.

Godaddy changing your DNS for violating TOS is shitty, but at least you can transfer your domains out. I dont think they would sell or keep your domains on a first offence, so theres nothing to worry about.

http://www.icann.org are the people ho REALLY own the internet, they control every domain, or every tld. Registrars are actually like used car salesmen.

You guys are incredibly naive. How do you explain all this OAEN?

You are quite simply wrong. Get your heads out of your asses people.

Erm because I run a webhost that registers domain names and have since early 1997 maybe.

How about you go visit Icann.org once and read it eh :)

Bullshit! Bullshit I say. ICANN is what ICANN is, obviously. But once you click "I agree" when you register your domain, you have agreed to the registrars Terms of Service.

If anything this thread has helped clear my mind and focus on a plan of action. Pay the $29, transfer out on the domain in question. Look into transferring out all my other domains over time and don't use Godaddy ever again.

You agree that Go Daddy, in its sole discretion and without liability to You, may refuse to accept the registration of any domain name. Go Daddy also may in its sole discretion and without liability to You delete the registration of any domain name during the first thirty (30) days after registration has taken place.

GoDaddy are known fuckups. Here's just one example:

Best advice -- whether its domains, hosting, mail server, just about anything: use someone with an adult industry connection -- Domain Name Systems, CW Nic, Direct Nic, Nat Names, etc. ... you will never go wrong, always be able to get a hold of them, they respond to board postings, and someone you know (if not yourself) will know them well.

wtf? Man, I'm registered there as well...wouldn't want any of this grief...I liked the price, but every fuckin' time you call them on the phone they always try to sell ya some bullshit, and won't take 2 minutes to help you with the problem that you called about in the first place....hmmm? Time to move eh?
:thumbsup

I hate godaddy, they suck ass! I[ve always used Dotster...for many years notw and never had a problem.

Alot of people will say " gee i have never had a problem " but when a problem arises , it then becomes a major problem.

Dont wait around until you get screwed over , TRANSFER your domain ASAP regardless of cost. You will end up paying more in the end.

I had a $4000 / month domain that got pulled from godaddy because of an error. It took 7 days to figure it out plus $200 in phone bills.

Total losses $1200 for a $7.95 domain. No "were sorry" no " we will re-imburse you the costs " . " nothing "

Template driven responses from tech support, imbeciles running the phone support and totally shitty service as a whole

Redirect his link code to godaddy.com then he is not driving traffic to your site or you're not making profit from his SPAM. Then Godaddy is infact the one getting traffic to it's site and profiting from it, so shouldn't that mean they are breaking their own TOS? :winkwink:

I don't need to say anything else !

you joke but thats going to be the wave of the future for people wanting to fuck over other people...just spam for them and let the anti-spammers rain down hell and damnation upon your enemies for you.

GoDaddy did the same to wegcash few months ago

Tell them you work for TechTV and you'll break them just like you made them. :)

That is fucking insane. I think every affiliate program operator should be aware of this, and avoid GoDaddy like the fucking plague.

Finally, some people who get it.

Godaddy stole over 100 my domains over 1 year ago.
They just stopped working. I called them, they say it's problem with my dnses.
Anyway I don't work with them anymore

[wow this it my 100th post :))) ]

godaddy like the cock

UPDATE:

I've opened an account with Directnic, and I've authorized the $29 butt rape with godaddy... transferring out.

Yea, my domain is with GoDaddy, but I've been thinking of switching to Network Solutions of DirectNic...now I am REALLY thinking about transferring...

Fuck me. People still use godaddy ? Idiots.

Move or be royally fucked. They are crooks.

Simple solution
use the registrar so many of the big adult corps do: (I think its obvious they have to deal with the spam issue constantly)

what Dravyk said is right on the money, go with someone thats had ties to adult as Domain Name Systems does. And he's also correct when he says either you or someone you know, knows him personally. I along with countless others have trusted and used Gord's service forever.

edited to add - NO I DO NOT WORK FOR THEM :P

Network solutions?!?!?!

imho you don't know what fu*ked IS until you'v had to deal with that kinda mess

Anyone ever had problems with namecheap.com? I have quite a few domains at godaddy and I am considering moving them all to namecheap.com, I have alot at dotster.com too which I love but damn $15 these days is way to high to pay for a domain when there are others out there at half the price.

Anyone suggest an under $9 per domain registar?
