i am fucking pissed at godaddy!
 

ok here is the scoop. i had a friend register a domain for me like 2 years ago. but the admin, tech, registrant contact is my email. so billing is them. i am trying to change dns servers. but everytime i goto contact godaddy they ask for last 4 digits of credit card. its pissing me off. i have lost touch with the person who registered it for me.

anyone have any ideas?

ctrl alt del

thanks princess :)

Ahahaha

Fris, if registrar lock is not enabled, then you should transfer it to another registrar, and you'll be able to change DNS servers there. If it is enabled, you should try to disable the lock so you can transfer it to another registrar...but if you can't change DNS servers, you probably can't disable registrar lock either.

Your problem seems to corroborate the general rule of thumb that nobody should use godaddy.

:thumbsup

But Taboo is using them :winkwink:

Actually, the lesson I learned from this is use your own fucking credit card.

godaddy suck ass

if its your email on file then just reset the password at godaddy. or call them tell them to reset your pass and email it to you

I always hear bad things about GoDaddy but this seems like more of a case of human error.

Threaten the CEO's life.

Uh yup.

3 years with godaddy, not a problem.

They have policies and procedures to follow in order to protect the domain holders, it's not a bad thing.

I would guess that most of godaddy's customers never have a problem. But some of their policies create a risk, maybe just a 1% chance per domain per year that you're going to be screwed by them in some way through no fault of your own. All it takes is one erroneous spam complaint, and you can have your domain shut down for a day or two before it gets straightened out. That can be a costly problem.

Requiring a CC number to do a DNS change is nonsense, in my opinion. I had a different company try and authenticate me through a CC's last four digits, but I had several CCs I might have used, no idea which one, so that created a pain in the ass too. Password and email verification should be more than sufficient for something as minor as a DNS change. (I.e., a change that can be undone on the unlikely chance it was done fraudulantly...as opposed to domain transfers or deletions).

Yep...whole idea here is to PROTECT your domain from someone who doesn't own it! And you're mad at them because they want the info from the ORIGINAL cc??

Weird, I changed DNS on a godaddy domain a couple weeks ago and was asked no such thing

why don't more people use www.namecheap.com

the best in the business. 8.88 all year round, and none of this bullshit that godaddy causes.

Godaddy is good, it's not their fault you lost the cc information that's we use as well to prove customers are the actual owner.

Maybe you would rather your domain get ripped off. :2 cents:

be very careful of godaddy...


they have stolen 2 domains from me...


they are fucked up peepz.

Don't believe it :(

I have 8K+ domains and currently use 10+ registrars (w/ 600 domains at Godaddy) and never had a problem with godaddy, though I have had numerous problems with other registrars (that's why I'm launching RegistrarBlacklist.com).

I have no idea what you're talking about in regards to "requiring" CC info for dns change. I've never been asked for that info unless making MAJOR acct changes. Plus I asked for and was given "extra" security features that other registrars dont/wont offer. They have security policies in place to protect rightful owner, just like all registrars. While I feel sorry for you, it does go to show that Godaddy is doing their best to prevent the domain from being stolen. That's why they are leader of the pack.

call them. explain your situation. if you are currently listed as email contacts, then they may work with you since they can verify who you are.

good luck.

I had a very similar experience with a friend of mine who used a company CC and then lost track of it. He lost the domain. End of story. I tried to help him - even bid on his domain on several drop sites - didn't catch it.

GoDaddy didn't do anything to stop it so you're up for a hard fight.

Go Daddy Sucks. Well...in your case I don't think it 's their fault but how ever they sucks. With www.enom.com or www.namecheap.com I never had problems, I can't say same for GoDaddy.

I havnt figured out why more people dont use www.moniker.com these guys have the best registrar going


they are secure so your domain is not going anywhere

the NHL uses them for all thier teams lots of big companies ( much bigger then Adult ) use them and they are not expensive

check them out www.moniker.com

Every year the odds are shifting against you... just keep that in mind.

who still uses godaddy after all the horror stories!?!?

if you haven't found a reliable registrar please check out www.nomanix.com you won't be disappointed

hehe

Me too because from May this year they started to not support customers from the country where i live

the reason why they get a bad rep is because they are the largest guy out there so think about it, the only time anyone is gonna post on here about them is when something gets fucked up, which 90% of the time is the fault of the person bitching. As long as you dont spam or fuck up you should have no problems
