How is GoDaddy ?

Emperor · 2005-08-07, 03:18 PM

Hi guys,

How is GoDaddy for domain names ? The price seems right but do you rest assured your names are safe with them ?

Do they accept ePassporte ?

Thanks,
Emperor

SirMoby · 2005-08-07, 04:09 PM

I've never used them but most threads that start "Someone stole my domain" seem to be from people using GoDaddy.

Osiris · 2005-08-07, 04:45 PM

What SirMoby said, godaddy seems the be a haven for people that like thieving domains and they never do anything about it.

Try http://www.namecheap.com Good price and I've never had a problem with them yet.

Emperor · 2005-08-07, 05:03 PM

Hi,

Alright, I'll scratch GoDaddy off my list.

What about WEB.COM ?

Is that NameCheap place professional ? I get a funny feeling about them just from their name.

Thanks.

Osiris · 2005-08-07, 05:22 PM

They seem to be professional to me. I've had domains there over a year now and everytime I've needed something they've been quick to reply.

I haven't heard of web.com

Prawnie · 2005-08-07, 05:37 PM

Never had any problems with GoDaddy. Although they do spam me everyday with a countdown on how long I have left on our domains

Jim · 2005-08-07, 07:22 PM

Spend the extra few bucks and go with directnic
You will be happy you did

Denver · 2005-08-07, 08:41 PM

I find namecheap easier to deal with. Bulkregister.com is another good one.

We've been with Godaddy for several years and never had a bit of trouble. Not an endorsement, just a fact.

Agent · 2005-08-07, 08:55 PM

They're inexpensive and they have bad interface design down to a science. They will try to trick you into buying something you wont want or need. When a form loads up you may see that you're opted in for addons. Be careful of that.

nycfreak · 2005-08-08, 06:32 AM

Namecheap is great so is Directnic.

H2ohNeil · 2005-08-08, 09:35 AM

I have dealt with netfirms, they were good to me.

kalexis · 2005-08-08, 11:34 AM

i had some problems with godaddy once so recently moved to http://grantdomains.com my friend became wild west domain reseller

I second that, NameCheap rocks!

nottslad · 2005-08-08, 04:26 PM

I've been with godaddy for over two years with my domains, and although I see a little bad press occasionally I have no complaints myself.

tsands · 2005-08-08, 06:00 PM

I have tons of domains with godaddy and have never had a single issue with them. I also have domains with moniker.com and namecheap. All 3 have been great.

stuveltje · 2005-08-08, 06:15 PM

oke kick me slap me and yep i complained here too, but ll the things i had with godaddy where my old fauld(fault?) i am using them already for 4 years and realy i cant nag on them which wasnt my own fault damn fauld? afterwards

bdld · 2005-08-09, 03:54 AM

godaddy's great, low prices and very reliable.

cosmiccat · 2005-08-10, 06:14 AM

I've used Go Daddy for years - no problems.

juggernaut · 2005-08-10, 12:38 PM

Funny this topic is because I use Directnic. Last night I wanted to buy 3 domain names and got to thinking. I have been with them for 4 years and really got a little pissed at the prices. Knowing I can get them for 1/2 the price. So I sent them a mail and explained to them that I want the new names but am offering them the chance to retain my business by offering me a discount. If they dont, then I'm looking someplace else.

juggernaut · 2005-08-10, 01:32 PM

Well guess I'm leaving DirectNic. Wont give a discount for my 3 domains. For me it's just the princible of customer retention. 4 Years, 7 domains, never missed a payment to them. Well Ill go look around.

noooze · 2005-08-11, 05:42 PM

go with namecheap - they are allso know as snncorp or is it smncorp.com
i've had my domains there for years and are more than happy!

GunnCat · 2005-08-11, 05:49 PM

Godaddy has some customer support issues. I have never had any problems with managing my domains, but I did have some billing issues last year or thereabouts. I had a continuing email trying to sort out the problem which was handled on their end by 7 or 8 support people, one seemingly worse than the other. Finally I called and worked things out with no problems. I haven't had any problems since then.

go with namecheap.com i am using them for years now and they never gave me trouble and godaddy did. they suck
