GO Daddy worste company I ever delt with

[Verbal]

Pretty boy Godaddy founder Bob Parsons can kiss my ass. They are quite possibly the worst registrar I've ever used. Have you ever *tried* to transfer a domain away from Godaddy? Have you ever called their support line? Between all the doublespeak and ad-bloat it's damn near impossible get a straight answer. They intentionally give you false information and hide important info you need (like auth codes) because they are a bunch of shady thieves. It takes just one unverified complaint against your domain, and when they see you run an adult site, you are hosed. I would not recommend this company to anyone, especially if doing adult sites.

I now use Namecheap.com almost exclusively and I'm very happy with them. Their service is very clean & up-front and they don't try to force sell you a million overpriced worthless add-ons.

My friends CC expired so they could not renew his domain automatically. Needless to say it expires. He logs on to their website and his domain is no longer there to manually renew. Freaked out he calls them up and the customer service guy explains that he will have to pay an $85 fee to reactivate his account and get his domain back. Currently the domain is in the "redemption period". Godaddy will not let him renew it for their standard fee and are insisting on the full $85.

I've never had problems with them but after my friend's fiasco I'm not sorry that I'm moving my domains over to The Planet for $2.00 less.

well thats cheap. I use directnic for all my domains. like i said up top sis got this domain herself. Anyway I let a domain expire not knowing until the chat last week that it was worth something for trades. When I contacted directnic about getting it back (it is in the time frame for me to get it, its just sitting in the registar) I was sent a mail telling me I would have to pay $185 to get it out and then the $15 to re-register it. Or I could let it sit and die and then get it again, which at that point the age of the domain is wasted and just like I bought a new one. Well you live and learn. That wont be happening again..
