I followed the link from the site I was talking about. They did say that.
Here is the entire article...

i read the links and yep i have to agree godaddy didnt do good there, still i need to think, its 10:13 evening here, i am gonna sleep about it....as usual when i am in a doubting thing...i even will dream about it........even i dont work that much anymore on the net...i still do care about my bizz

Any host is going to take down your content if it goes against their use policy. And as far as their hosting, its worlds cheaper than any other i've seen out there, worlds.

The guy in the article is actually a friend of mine. As soon as I read the article I called him up and got the full story. Essentially someone posted a whole bunch of MySpace Log-ins to a security mailing list. His site indexes theses posts and puts them on his site, which is very popular and great reading if you need to keep up to date on cutting edge security news.

Any way MySpace got wind called GoDaddy. GoDaddy immediately pulled the plug on the domain. GoDaddy told the news that they called the owner of the site and gave him an hour to respond. This was not true. The time stamp on the GoDaddy voice mail and the time to when they disabled his account was 58 Seconds not minutes.

Long story short GoDaddy assumes guilt and administers punishment until proven innocent.

It's true GoDaddy is a stable registrar and I've done business with them in the past. People who get scammed out of their domain names rarely tell the whole story and have most likely fallen prey to scammers, phishing schemes, or do something stupid like use the same login and password for every site that is easily guessable.

Granted, I moved all my stuff from GoDaddy to The Planet because it's cheaper and they are just as reliable.

i got it, but i will not move all, i will put half of my domains on an other domain registar......and buy new ones at the other:)

If you read the entire article you would have seen that the domain was re-enabled within the hour. I've had webhosts down longer than that! Granted I don't have many domains with godaddy but I do have quite a few with their membership site at bluerazor. It's a lawyers world. Now a days a company won't piss in a toilet until the legal department signs off.

Just my 2 pennies worth.

I am one of those who "have never had a problem" at GD but well aware of the many, many horror stories and complaints over years about heavy handedness and bully, shady, tactics of GD from boards all over the spectrum.

I'm thinking Stu that some things you don't have to waste time worrying about when someone else has already spent years sweating the small stuff and just gives you the answer, that's a be happy time. Thank goodness I have far fewer than 200 domains but I'm pushing the to directnic this month if I can. Apparently no one can stop GD from its bad behaivor. IMHO, There is something comforting knowing that only a court order can get you shut down. You have the opportunity to fight a court order.

Actually they went down to $9.99 a while back. But I agree, been very happy for a number of years. And support is very quick.

Ouch, I just transfered all my domains to Godaddy from RegisterFly. Sounds like GoDaddy is just as bad.

How long does one have to wait before they can transfer domains again?

I doubt if anyone is as bad as RegisterFly.

Good point

Moniker.com has been great so far, I transfered all my domains away from Directnic a while ago and glad I did.

They threatened to shut down Slicks sites unless he provided proof of age, nothing wrong with that, shutting him down before the deadline because he posted on the boards, not cool at all.
