I hope you guys learned a lesson from my godaddy experience.
 

1. Spread your shit across many domains.

2. Spread your shit across several domains and hosts

3. Godaddy are a bunch of queefs

4. read 1 ,2 and 3


thank god i did or else i would really be in abind right now

What exactly did they do?

jDoG

they changed my name servers to :

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM
NS2.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM

without telling me

few weeks ago i was getting about afew hundred undeliverable emails a hour. A spammer was using @ juicylinks.com as the return address.

Eventually it stopped but i guess people muct have complained or something

I only have 2 domains at godaddy I just got the 3 month renewal notice for one of them... it will soon be moved to one of my accounts on either directNIC or registerfly ... probally directNic as I allready have a ton on registerfly

they are gonna queef me for 80 bucks it seems to unfreeze it. Lesson learned

I'm suprised that u just found out GO-DADDY is a bunch of SHIT fuckers!!!

I'm a newb and even I know this

this is sad!!!!

I have 30 domains there. $8 a year = $240. $15 a year elsewhere = $450. For $210 a year I'll risk having to sling them $80 if someone spams using my domain. My domains aren't as sensitive to being down a few days as yours are though.

This makes no sense. How can a registar know if you were spamming or not? Just having a bunch of emails with "juicylinks.com" in the from field is absolutely meaningless, since this can be so easily spoofed. Were you hosting with them?

registerfly.com nuff said

ive been saying it for 2 years now. godaddy fucking sucks.
they sold a few of my domains to some domain broker who tried to sell them back to me for thousands of dollars.

Yeah, I'd trust my first born with those backwards fucks.

Not

Unreal.
Pay it by c/c, transfer the domain, and charge the $80 back. Isn't what they are doing extortion?

My important domains are outta there ASAP. Damn! :(

enom, rackshack, namebargain...

poor juicy.. :321GFY

Enom all the way :thumbsup

I was using RegisterFly before, but after they fucked up big time when I was going to move some domains it was bye bye for them.

DirectNic

I have 50 domains with them. I love them.

My general train of thought on registrars is to spread yourself out over at least 3 registrars. One username/password becomes compromised and you can lose every site you own within that registrar. Makes sense to spread them out a little bit at the very least.

WG

yea, i hate when they queef you :mad:

DirectNic

Juicy, those things don't happen at DirectNIC. We understand how business should be done.

:thumbsup

but if you have domains with 3 registrars... you just increased your chances by 3 of someone getting your username/pass for one of them .... :2 cents:

just moved all go daddy names.


:thumbsup


Sry to here about that Juicy

but if it does happen the damage will only be one third :2 cents:

I'll be moving to directnic this week. I've never had a problem with GoDaddy but this is one war story too many.

were you polite with them on the phone like you were with jupiter host?

Ya gets what ya pay for. But even though Directnic is a bit more than some registars you get hosting included if you wish, the banner is only for their hosting service so it is not competing for your adult dollar. You can only post images on the free service but it is fast and reliable.

Their bannerfree hosting is a bit steep for galleries, $15 for 2 gigs (or 1 year, whichever comes first) but that's good to host a front page and link stuff hosted elsewhere. I use that for a couple of low graphic portal pages and host content of any size on my main hosting account.

They don't have a POP account but you can set it up to forward [email protected] and set your regular mail client to send as that:)

Its fucking ridiculous how godaddy trys to police its customers for spam, especially the drastic measures they take after only 1 or 2 complaints. It should be the job of the webhost to stop its clients from spamming.

I wish directnic would lower its prices to compete with godaddy.

I'd rather that than putting all my eggs in one basket.

I use http://www.domainnamesystems.com - never had any hassle with them :thumbsup

Not entire accurate, policing is a public service, if that were the case a few more registrars would have similar policies or at least some how reproach customers for abuse in this matter. In my opinion the reason they are doing this is simply to free domains and have users shell out the $80 to unfreeze them. Think about it, with the under $10 they charge per domain name thats 8 years you have to be with them before they see $80 of revenue, which isn't even profit, or they can freeze your domain and get $80 from you, $79 of which is profit, not have to care about your ass for eight years and even if you transfer off. How many domains are even eight years old vs 1, 2, 3 or 4 years, certainly a very very tiny portion.

Its all in the $$$.

you better keep your fucking mind on your business you troll

I only use and trust Directnic, and for domains I sell or dont use as much I use mydomain.com, or dotster

I am quite happy with http://www.mydomain.com :thumbsup

www.web.com $5.95 a domain

wow that sucks I use them for all my domains (only 5) damn:( what is the best registar to move too?

Shit... people steal nbdesign's headers all the time to spam... I have not been shut down.

Face it... you spammed and got busted... :2 cents:

That's fucked up and probably illegal. You can send emails with anyone's return address on it; they should at the very least check the smtp server and see where it was sent from. So all anyone has to do to shut down competitors is spam with their address? lame.
www.bbb.org

Just tell them it was can spam... that is totally legal. Infact, got my 1st spam the other day with the "Can Spam" Shit at the bottom and the american flag.

So great... we have legal fucking spam now.


:BangBang: SPAMMERS!!! :321GFY

Problem here is most of you guys don't read TOS's. These registrars, ISPs, hosting companies, all have the power to turn you off for spamming.

And when someone uses one of your domains for spamming you need to immediately contact everyone connected to that domain from your hosting company, to your registrar, to your ISP, that someone is illegally using your domain for spamming.
