STOP recommending GoDaddy.com
 
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...

Bump this thread so people can find out for free :)

don't spam then

dunefield 01-06-2004 09:59 AM

spammers go to hell :(

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...

Trax 01-06-2004 10:22 AM

Remember, guilty until proven innocent and just imagine what talent they have investigating the spam complaints...

I used to recommend them . They were easy to use and cheap . But they really jacked around alot of people i know. Go with directnic.

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.

Godaddy rocks. With around 100 domains, I've had zero problems!

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

http://www.10-domains.com
$10 domains

I guess you just proved the point that some newbies really don't understand some of the "finer points" on having a presence on the net!

Vitasoy 01-06-2004 03:18 PM

I use godaddy never had a problem with them, but I better jump ship...

Ben-MensNiche 01-06-2004 03:27 PM

hmm, who do I know that uses GoDaddy that I don't like?...

Feel free to post your enemies that use GoDaddy :thumbsup

Kingfish 01-06-2004 03:31 PM

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

I have friends who have had bad experience with them.

scooby doo as scooby does 01-06-2004 03:48 PM

Godaddy are crooks. Get out while you can.

Thanks for the heads up...

That's just plain bullshit.
I got a spam complaint with them and sorted the problem with
just one email.

I gave you a fair warning...

:1orglaugh What are some of the "finer points" with having GoDaddy holding you randsom.

:321GFY 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.

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.

yes but normally who report the spam or anything like it don't provide any prove and to close or suspend a domain just because some one has reported he got an e-mail is funny.

lawked 01-07-2004 02:54 AM

Joy, bump it up bump it up and pain

www.theregister.co.uk had a none-too-flattering story on godaddy not long ago

Odin88 01-07-2004 04:20 AM

namecheap is good, except they seem to take forever to change dns.
