Another godaddy.com horror story!
 

I paid Godaddy to renew 5 domains last month. While routinely checking domain expiry dates this month, we discovered that while we had been billed for all 5 domains, one of them was in "redemption period". Not only that, they had charged an additional "administration fee" to our card!

We're still trying to find out what's going on. GoDaddy doesn't seem to know.

I will add to that. Bought a valueble domain with traffic on day of deletion. Then godaddy said oops! wasn't available we'll refund you! So I call them and explain that I lost more than reg. fee - I lost the value of the domain...how can you refund me that? Felt like I was kinda in the Sex.com story.

Why do you people still bother with godaddy? its just totally sucks. You cant push domains easily, you get spammed to pieces, you get partial paypal.

http://NameCheap.com

Try that.

godaddy is a pain in the ass .

I've had nothing but problems with those guys

Godaddy fucks everyone over, and there isn't much you can do about it unless you would like to lose your domains. Basically, once you've developed a name and have traffic flowing to it, you're hostage to godaddy's shitty policies, unless you want your account terminated over a $5-10 fee.

Go to a better registrar like namecheap, or if you want better pricing, get yourself an enom reseller account.

yep,i second that

I've never had a problem with them, and most of the horror stories I've heard were preventable on the part of the webmaster.

In the UK we dont have as many channels as you..... Even on cable

So I signed for this great service www.everyshowsucks.com its $5 a month and I get all the new shows etc on BBand.

Last month GoDaddy shut them down.... its a really dodgy service that is full of legal crap.... but even PayPal support them so

If GoDaddy shut you down and PayPal keep you going you know something is wrong.

Is namecheap really the best? It seems every registrar I've heard of has their share of nightmare stories.

A really great service? That's not a legit service. It's illegal copyright infringement. GoDaddy was likely contacted by lawyers.

godaddy charged me $18 two weeks ago

I don't even have a domain at them (they fucked one of my ACTIVE domains)

And I thought it was Godaddy.com not Godaddy.police

They register domain names and nothing more.

Even PayPal wont shut these domains down and they have every right to, and have a habbit of shutting everything suspect down.

You want to register with these guys then feel free..... If I want to call them right wing c-unts then I will.

Actually have started using them. Good stuff.

I've never had any problems with them...

ahhh godaddy.. gotta love em.

i hope this will be resolved immediately

I have over 300 domains with Go Daddy. No problems. They even gave me an account manager to bitch at whenever I need something.

Let's here some GoDaddy horror stories that don't involve waiting unitl the last minute to renew or sending out mailers.

What story did you hear about GoDaddy and mailers?

I didnt hear that one.

They tend to take spam complaints more seriously than other places. So the first line of defense is being CAN SPAM compliant weather or not it's opt-in or not. As long as your opt-out link is actually working, it doesn't give anyone a reason to complain. Plus I am not aware of them suspending any accounts for CAN SPAM compliant emails.

Godaddy is fucking anal about spam

264 domains, personal rep, no problems

GODADDY WORST REGISTRAR EVER< they MAKE NSI look like GOOGLE

Never had a prob with godaddy.. always a good idea to use more than 1 registrar tho

You have Steve?

My guys name is Mike. He told me they recently hired 4-5 more guys.

Groovy. Steve has been there for quite a while, and they are always fast for me.

I guess their SuperBowl commercial paid off!

I've never had a problem with them I only have about 13 domains with them right now though.

The domains are cheap, registration is easy!
I've never had a problem with GoDaddy!







Until now. You just wait, your time will come. In the meantime, all our domains are being moved to another registrar.

I don't understand this. One problem and you run for the hills? You don't even wait for an explanation and to see how they resolve it? How a company resolves its problems is very telling in what kind of company they really are.

If I dropped every company that ever made one mistake... man, I don't think I'd be doing business with anyone.

godaddy should change their names to who's your daddy. They've fucked tons of people

Well i havent heard any about NameCheap. Since its free to sign up, why not try Godaddy *and* NameCheap for a while and see which you prefer. I'll bet top dollar that youll choose NameCheap.

Thanks for the info....I'll be sure not to fuck with them

Only one problem? didn't you see the other posts in this thread?

Godaddy can be real bastards

Its funny how in threads like this you get the real information in the first 10 posts.. Before people start making money driven retorts.
