GoDaddy is a terrible registrar - GoFuckYourself.com

Rhesus · 12-14-2005, 02:38 PM

Every time again when I buy a domain from someone who uses GoDaddy there are problems - the transfer is denied, something else goes wrong, you name it... Then their horrendous interface... Whoever's still using them: abandon this misbehavior as quickly as possible, do your peers a favor and move to a decent registrar!

slapass · 12-14-2005, 02:42 PM

i have everything there. And yep it can be a total pain to deal with them.

Harmon · 12-14-2005, 02:43 PM

GoDaddy is terrible? Is this actually news to anyone here?

baddog · 12-14-2005, 02:44 PM

We use them, and have no problems . . . of course, once we buy a domain it stays ours.

Expo_Vids · 12-14-2005, 02:45 PM

I have 200 domains at BlueRazor (same as Godaddy) and never had a problem with sale/transfer.

GoDaddy sucks balls like no other registrar.

I detest buying domains registered there but sometimes I just deal with it and transfer them to Moniker right away.

Ok, well the 1st two are of opinion, so I can't argue with what you think, but what makes a domain less safe on GD?

Furious_Male · 12-14-2005, 03:27 PM

I rotate domains on a near daily basis with them (buy and sell). I have yet to have a single problem the past several years.

I hope I don't jinx myself.

Amnesic · 12-14-2005, 03:29 PM

I never had problems with godaddy, even with password loss, transfer

dont use their hosting tough

3500 per box

yeah, i have heard true horror stories about their hosting service...most of the domain troubles I have heard are from people that did something wrong, and then bitch when they get a domain snagged from them....but yeah, their hosting service is terrible from what I hear

Gnus · 12-14-2005, 04:22 PM

We been with godaddy for 4 years now and never had a problem that includes transferring domains, changing dns, adding nameservers, change password, etc. Not one problem with them.

Gary

12-14-2005, 04:24 PM

Rhesus ............. check out directnic.com please, dealing with them since 1996 and although we have only 138 domains there, no problems at all ( knock on wood )

xmas13 · 12-14-2005, 04:28 PM

i had a few minor problems but i was guilty.

sickkittens · 12-14-2005, 04:44 PM

I've never had problems w/ them. *knock on wood*

davecummings · 12-14-2005, 07:10 PM

669 of my 670 registered domains are with them----I like Go-Daddy:-)!!!!

JamesK2 · 12-14-2005, 07:13 PM

Godaddy sucks... I lost a very valuable domain because of them.

Doctor Dre · 12-14-2005, 07:16 PM

Basic_man · 12-14-2005, 07:25 PM

I don't own many domains (about 15) and they are all under Godaddy.com .. and I never had any problem..

graphicspimp · 12-14-2005, 07:26 PM

www.domainnamesystems.com

HIGHLY recommended - been with them for 6 years and have many domains

cykoe6 · 12-14-2005, 07:28 PM

I have never had any problem with godaddy and I have been with them for 4 years. Never a single glitch.

BIGTYMER · 12-14-2005, 07:31 PM

I own tons of domains and NEVER had one problem with GoDaddy.

Martin · 12-14-2005, 07:35 PM

Never had any problems, then again like baddog I've never sold a domain.

Marshal · 12-14-2005, 07:37 PM

I second that. No probs here ever. Just don't use godaddy to purchase domains you're going to sell.

phonesex · 12-15-2005, 01:51 AM

no problems here with godaddy. You guys must be doin something wrong.

sickbeatz · 12-15-2005, 01:52 AM

i've had no problems with go daddy

Gunni · 12-15-2005, 01:53 AM

had my first problem with them yesterday, for some reason I couldn't change the DNS on one of my domains

I usually wait a while after they have been registered to check them. I am sure sometimes it is a lot quicker than an hour, but just hedging the bet to be sure I am accurate.

jade_dragon · 12-15-2005, 02:00 AM

only have mainstream non adult, non business domains hosted there. No problems. Are you guys hosting adult sites there?

I've seen it in under 20 min.

fitzmulti · 12-15-2005, 02:21 AM

I use them for all of our domains - well over 200 - when I get new ones, they are active and even online on my server in WAY less than 24 - 48 hours. Today I bought several new ones and they were "live" in less than 6 hours on my server...

I email my rep for renewals and new purchases, and it's all SO damn simple.

willysbirthday · 12-19-2005, 11:25 AM

Saying you have not had a problem with godaddy is like having a heart murmur and telling your friends " i havent had a heart attack YET, so i'm fine"

If you look at all the people with issues with godaddy its the same scenario. They get F'd over, and can get no support.

I've sent 22 emails to godaddy requesting some level of resolve from them and gotton NOT ONE response...

willysbirthday 'at' gmail.com if you are one of the godaddy reps here that are spending your resources trying to have clean PR rather than fixing actual issues.
