I don’t give two sh*ts about the owner’s political stance, even if it differs from my own. Nor was this post ever intended to start a GoDaddy war. People, I don’t care what registrar you use. If you don’t like Godaddy, no big deal. It just happened that I was in the process of transferring domains to them, and thought I’d be kind enough to document the process. You don’t want to use ’em? Don’t. No sweat off my back.

It’s headed by a Bush supporter who thinks the way to success is through the Marines. I have two domains registered with godaddy. After receiving July 4th emails from the CEO twice now I will be sure to never support his domain again. He didn’t have to make it political but he did.

“Hello [Sebastian],

We are not having financial difficulties in fact we’re growing.

Please disregard the rumors.

Thank you”

As a paranoid Webmaster I’m very interested in learning more.

I’m not sure how many domains in which spaces you own, but choosing GoDaddy as a “primary domain reg” sounds like a bad idea to me because of their

– reg. fees in general
– weird policies of extra-charges of $30-50 for DMCA request handling
– all those “horror” stories mentioned above

other than that i once again smiled about the fact that it is required to document how to move domains away from a registrar… we are currently having similar headaches to consolidate domains and move away from Networksolutions, Snapnames and other providers that think a clumsy itnerface is a good way to keep clients

best,christoph

Do you work for Dotster? Do you have some sort of inside information on their financial status?

Pleeeze!

Not sure where I’d move all my domains if Dotster closes but I don’t think it will be GoDaddy.

The process is pretty similar with other registrars. And thanks for the heads-up by the way, I’ve a few domains there…

Because I’ve used them for years (for domain name registrations only) and have never had a problem with them. I love the management interface. I would not use them for hosting however, and I’ve only ever seen “sucks” stories about their hosting. Why else? Because since I use Godaddy, it was easy to create this little tutorial. It would be pretty difficult for me to create one for a registrar I don’t use. 🙂 I would imagine the process would be similar for other registrars however.

They lead the “sucks” SERPs and horror stories pop up every week, if not daily …
