Another godaddy.com horror story!
I paid Godaddy to renew 5 domains last month. While routinely checking domain expiry dates this month, we discovered that while we had been billed for all 5 domains, one of them was in "redemption period". Not only that, they had charged an additional "administration fee" to our card!
We're still trying to find out what's going on. GoDaddy doesn't seem to know. |

I will add to that. Bought a valueble domain with traffic on day of deletion. Then godaddy said oops! wasn't available we'll refund you! So I call them and explain that I lost more than reg. fee - I lost the value of the domain...how can you refund me that? Felt like I was kinda in the Sex.com story.

Why do you people still bother with godaddy? its just totally sucks. You cant push domains easily, you get spammed to pieces, you get partial paypal.
http://NameCheap.com Try that.

Godaddy fucks everyone over, and there isn't much you can do about it unless you would like to lose your domains. Basically, once you've developed a name and have traffic flowing to it, you're hostage to godaddy's shitty policies, unless you want your account terminated over a $5-10 fee.
Go to a better registrar like namecheap, or if you want better pricing, get yourself an enom reseller account.

I've never had a problem with them, and most of the horror stories I've heard were preventable on the part of the webmaster.

In the UK we dont have as many channels as you..... Even on cable
So I signed for this great service www.everyshowsucks.com its $5 a month and I get all the new shows etc on BBand. Last month GoDaddy shut them down.... its a really dodgy service that is full of legal crap.... but even PayPal support them so If GoDaddy shut you down and PayPal keep you going you know something is wrong. |

Is namecheap really the best? It seems every registrar I've heard of has their share of nightmare stories.

They register domain names and nothing more. Even PayPal wont shut these domains down and they have every right to, and have a habbit of shutting everything suspect down. You want to register with these guys then feel free..... If I want to call them right wing c-unts then I will. |

I have over 300 domains with Go Daddy. No problems. They even gave me an account manager to bitch at whenever I need something.

Groovy. Steve has been there for quite a while, and they are always fast for me.
I guess their SuperBowl commercial paid off! |

I've never had a problem with GoDaddy! Until now. You just wait, your time will come. In the meantime, all our domains are being moved to another registrar. |

I don't understand this. One problem and you run for the hills? You don't even wait for an explanation and to see how they resolve it? How a company resolves its problems is very telling in what kind of company they really are.
If I dropped every company that ever made one mistake... man, I don't think I'd be doing business with anyone.
