STOP recommending GoDaddy.com - GoFuckYourself.com

lawked · 01-06-2004, 09:47 AM

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...

Mojo Rizin · 01-06-2004, 10:03 AM

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...

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.

Essentially that means you have 100 more chances of losing 100 dollars.

Why you would give that power to anyone is beyond me when there are choices.

PetMyKitty · 01-06-2004, 02:28 PM

sold a few domains and had zero problems tranferring to their new owners. good admin interface too.

I have around 100 names with them, and never had a problem. 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.

digifan · 01-06-2004, 03:34 PM

What are some of the "finer points" with having GoDaddy holding you randsom.

post some of your domains if you're so confident that GoDaddy will respect your "finer points".

Ok, you're the *first* person. I guess you lucked out.

Just read the terms and if you're willing to accept them.. fine.

Just remember AC and what they did.

mryellow · 01-06-2004, 04:49 PM

Checkout how the wholesale domain market works. You'll quickly
see that Godaddy passes on domains at almost the same price
they buy them at. They DO NOT make money selling domains!
They make money on value added services and when their
customers don't buy enough extra services they just use their
terms to screw their customers out of domains.

If you want a domain, buy a domain, pay a price that the
company can actually profit on. Buying a domain from a company
that makes their money stealing domains from customers just
isn't smart.

-Ben

AOJ Brian · 01-06-2004, 05:05 PM

I agree about Godaddy.. they have some really dumb motherfuckers answering tech support there.

You know.. the kind where you write a long email detailing what was wrong.. they obviously DON'T read it and tell you to do something you already said you tried in the email.

... then they kick it up a level and you wait 2 weeks for someone with a brain to get back to you.

I use http://www.namecheap.com exclusively now. 8.88, nice backend, and you can pay by paypal.

KRL · 01-07-2004, 10:38 AM

I use GoDaddy. 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.

I'm a very satisfied customer with GoDaddy.

My account manager also gives me special extra discounts.
