wow

Wow, I was actually thinking about buying a partner account

More extortion money for godaddy. Yay

Yeah they did the same shit to one of my sites about 4-5 years ago, demanded a good deal of money to allow my to transfer it to another registrar. Haven't been a big fan of Godaddy since.

Any serious site using godaddy is fucked.

Damnit, SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM is registered.
How fucking cool would that have been if it wasn't.

:2 cents: yep

Wow that really blows but why in the world would you keep any big domains at godaddy these days?

any idea what www.name.com is?

is it godaddy's company?

Wow that sucks. I think they lost their domain...
If that is true... one can be out of biz witin a blink of an eye...

What kind of site was it?Free site,tgp,tube?

All the people on gfy defending godaddy, this is the biggest complaint I have against them :2 cents:

1 report of spam to godaddy, and your domain is locked. Godaddy suspends domains for many, many reasons. Just because you haven't had problems with them, doesn't mean that it will continue forever.

more like linklist

Lets see those GoDaddy Coupon codes again! NEVER use them guys. For fuck sakes do you ppl not LEARN?

i have bunch of domains at godaddy and never had issues with them.

oh wait, maybe its because i didnt do anything what could be considered as spam or abuse?

They're not the only people that do it.
Namecheap will switch out DNS records w/o warning too

never use godaddy damn.

I have a partner account, they're on the expensive side for a submit account.

They must be freaking out.

You don't HAVE to do anything wrong. Someone can send a false spam report and you get suspended anyways.

Well,there is a chance how every register do it....Godaddy become legendary since they have high fees to "fix" the problem.

godaddy? seriously?

Whenever did that happen? I have 1000s and 1000s of domains on NC and I never had one single problem.


And yea, godaddy :321GFY:321GFY:321GFY:321GFY
I hope some ruski script kiddies bring them down.

No, it was a TGP mixed thumbs and text... both video galleries + pictures galleries...

tgp with both videos + pictures galleries, most submitted by partners

Are you serious about that? I have 100's of domains located at NC...

Totally serious. I was fairly shocked as well.
I didn't receive any email, any notification, any justification - just had the DNS swapped out.

I was fairly appalled. When I spoke to support, they weren't apologetic. I moved out 500 domains the next day.

This is why I always warn people not to use godaddy for anything important. They will fuck you up. Yet people continue to use them..

Moniker suspended one of my domains without even notifying me. I only noticed because it was included in a list of domains that godaddy had also suspended.

At least Moniker didn't ransom the domain like godaddy, they reinstated it on the condition that I delegate it away from the particular name servers that had been SBL blacklisted. (It was a whitelabel)

When Spamhaus suggests a registrar jump, they ask "how high?" :2 cents:

Thats VERY worrying - I have always considered NC 100% solid. Can you tell me why they did it, or rather what you were "accused" of?

What is better then godaddy...? what compeny?

pretty much everyone :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The answer is something like "all" (The bigger ones):

moniker
NC/enom
Resellerclub
tucows
fab

For starters any company that doesn't have a history of doing exactly this and Godaddy has a long history of suspending names with no proof then ransoming it back to you for a large fee. I use Moniker or nameheap..

No idea. They said they'd 'received a complaint'.
Wasn't SpamHaus related or anything, there were no complaints there.
All I can think of is that someone got pissed, sent a baloney letter to NC, and boom! they just swapped it out

:(:helpme:Oh crap:mad: is all I can say

All registers no matter what they tell you are subject to ICANN and the FTC so a spam complaint would be brought to godaddy not by some random person it would have been brought by the FTC or ICANN after a dispute process. but hey what the fuck do i know.
