      I've had good domains yanked from GoDaddy for link spam, of course they never sent me any proof, just yanked 'em... cunts. This was years ago, I bet they're even more anal now.

                    anyone in the pornbiz needs to know this
                    and blacklist at least these 2 registars
                    godaddy.com
                    domainnamesystems.com

                    both registrars should not be used at any cost.
                    Not in my experience. I have a couple of hundred domains there and an account for 7 years. Any problems I have had have been swiftly and professionally dealt with. Even have had domains expire that have given back to me 2 weeks after they expired.

                    WiredGuy - sorry to hear this man, must be very stressful. I seem to remember godaddy 'reclaiming' a paysite domain from one program a few years back because an affiliate spammed it. For them to just terminate you and not explain anything is very shitty indeed.

                      Well I've never had any trouble with Godaddy but this scares me.
                      But whatever you do don't go with DirectNic. At least Godaddy gave you the chance
                      to move. DirectNic stole my domain because of a complaint.
                      They locked it down and still have it. I guess I could have hired a lawyer but I really
                      couldn't afford to do that. So consider yourself lucky that you had the opportunity to
                      transfer your domain. I wish Directnic would have let me do that.

                          Wiredguy.... Lots of us have been saying this for years. Godaddy are scum sucking pieces of shit. They did the EXACT same thing to me years ago on a domain that made me mid 5 figures a year...

                          GODADDY ARE SCUM... and it winds me up when I try to tell people that they are scum and then you get those nobs jump the thread saying "I've never had any problems"... You fucking retards, you WON'T have any problems until you DO have a problem... Get your domains out of there and spread the word.

                          Use namecheap.

                          Guys, don't wait for this shit to happen to you! Spread the word! Every opportunity you get, TELL people about this. I have been for years.

What gives? Some guy sends a complaint about my domain and they can disrupt my entire business? And now they want $100 to transfer the domain to another registrar or $199 to fight the complaint? This is complete bullshit! Since when has GoDaddy been doing this? Eugh, what a great way to disrupt all my sales and traffic!!

                              And of all domains, they have to do this to my tracking server! What the hell!!

                              They have been doing it for >1 year, which is why nobody with any brains is using them. Get out, move all domains you have on them and never go back.

                                You'll have the same problem at the next place you move that domain to I think. Who ever it was that complained, will notice that you've moved and complain again and you'll be back in the same boat yet again. GoDaddy and any other company is going to protect "their" ass quick and put you out.

                                          WRONG... Other domain regsitrars don't act like Nazis.

                                          Don't make out this is common practise amongst all registrars. This is something that in my experience GODADDY do... Nobody else. It's an underhanded, blackmailing, ransom taking mofos to increase their margins... and is total BS!!!!!!!!

                                                Didn't juicy have the same thread a few years ago? I'm pretty sure I remember that since then I've been telling people godaddy sucks and have seen many thread on gfy about ppl having problems with them

                                                I used regfly until it went to shit it was chaos...now I use mostly namecheap and also have a little bit of domains on moniker too....

                                                    GoDaddy is fine until they get a complaint, legit or not, and then the hell begins. They've been hijacking domains this way for years, get out asap.

I just got a complaint notice from GoDaddy that they are terminating my service for a complaint they received against my domain and they don't seem to be providing any links, proof or anything? What gives? Some guy sends a complaint about my domain and they can disrupt my entire business? And now they want $100 to transfer the domain to another registrar or $199 to fight the complaint? This is complete bullshit! Since when has GoDaddy been doing this? Eugh, what a great way to disrupt all my sales and traffic!!

                                                        And of all domains, they have to do this to my tracking server! What the hell!!

                                                        Godaddy has always been like that. That's why you never use godaddy. You are lucky they only want $100 to unlock it. I've heard as high as $400 before.

                                                                          It's happened to me once and I transfered anything that mattered out of godaddy. I think I still have 4 domains with them that I will be transferring out over the course of the next year. As others have said it can take a lot longer then 24 hours to transfer the domains with all the confirmation emails they seem to send out. I even had them sending the emails on one domain to an old address that hadn't been in the contact field for a few years; that was a bitch to straighten out.

                                                                          Wouldn't you like to get your hands on whoever did this to you and slowly feed them their own teeth?

However namecheap has been a pretty good service, but because of them being connected to Enom I'm skeptical of them. I had a lot of issues with Enom during the RegistryFly fiasco.

It came to a point where I called them and had them WALK me through it. They walked me through it, and they messed up on the instructions, and it locked the domain for 3 months. They said they were sorry about it, but they couldn't unlock it, even though it was THEIR fuckup. Talk about selling a domain and having to wait a year~ to finally transfer it. Was a pain in the ass.
