moniker and enom for me.

Never had experience with the first one, but the second one was a nightmare.

sorry to hear it

you really should phone them up and get a better explanation, sometimes talking to a real person will get a more sane response than emails


its not like you are running a splog network or anything, they should be reasonable if they look at your situation i would think..... I've had luck with them on other issues by phoning

i like directnic.com

:)

Woman on the phone was worse. She kept pushing for payment to get this fixed. Of course I caved. Between $100 to get this fixed now and arguing for what would have been several hours, I decided to cut my losses and just pay the $100.

I gotta give Network Solutions credit when a now banned poster on gfy named 49th parallel went on a year long campaign to get my domain yanked....Fortunately, I kept the email telling me everything was all clear so when it happened again, I just forwarded them their own email....They also called my voicemail number that is listed with them and left a message....If I didn't respond, it would have been my ass but thankfully I routinely check my voicemail...

And another thing......Network Solutions never let me know who the actual complainant was but they forwarded me an email from the person with their info stripped...It was obviously 49th parallel whining like a bitch to Network Solutions because he has complained over and over again and nothing is happening and what does he have to do to get them to act....

I'm glad that tool is banned.

thats cuz a 2nd one (domainnamesystems.com) is NOT a real registrar. In fact its not even a registrar, its really just some bullshit place with a dude holding your domains in his bedroom.

I've got 50+ domains with namecheap and really like them... they're just a reseller for Enom. With over 50 domains you can get a discount on the prices.

I also have 20+ domains with bulkregister.com... They were bought by Enom awhile back..

And I have 20+ domains with networksolutions.com... You can get competitive rates with them. I'm a "vip" member, whatever the hell that means. I threatened to move all my domains last year and now I get them for about $10.

I must be lucky as I've never, knock on wood, had any problems with any of my registrars.

And trying to sell .xxx domains years ago. :1orglaugh

They have been doing this for years. They run their own tos that overrides the standard one, not sure how it works. I had my lawyer hit them and they put my domain back online. I would advise doing the same, fast.

I've been using them for years and haven't had any problems :thumbsup

I've had good domains yanked from GoDaddy for link spam, of course they never sent me any proof, just yanked 'em... cunts. This was years ago, I bet they're even more anal now.

I've been using them for years and haven't had any problems :thumbsup

I see GFY is it's normal self with double posts :disgust

They do .....

do you do any comment spamming?

We have never had a problem with DirectNIC (knock on wood)

No problems with NameCheap in the last 5+ years...

Not in my experience. I have a couple of hundred domains there and an account for 7 years. Any problems I have had have been swiftly and professionally dealt with. Even have had domains expire that have given back to me 2 weeks after they expired.

WiredGuy - sorry to hear this man, must be very stressful. I seem to remember godaddy 'reclaiming' a paysite domain from one program a few years back because an affiliate spammed it. For them to just terminate you and not explain anything is very shitty indeed.

Well I've never had any trouble with Godaddy but this scares me.
But whatever you do don't go with DirectNic. At least Godaddy gave you the chance
to move. DirectNic stole my domain because of a complaint.
They locked it down and still have it. I guess I could have hired a lawyer but I really
couldn't afford to do that. So consider yourself lucky that you had the opportunity to
transfer your domain. I wish Directnic would have let me do that.

LOL if you had a couple of hundred productive domains there's no way you'd be a sigwhore for ragecash

Wiredguy.... Lots of us have been saying this for years. Godaddy are scum sucking pieces of shit. They did the EXACT same thing to me years ago on a domain that made me mid 5 figures a year...

GODADDY ARE SCUM... and it winds me up when I try to tell people that they are scum and then you get those nobs jump the thread saying "I've never had any problems"... You fucking retards, you WON'T have any problems until you DO have a problem... Get your domains out of there and spread the word.

Use namecheap.

Guys, don't wait for this shit to happen to you! Spread the word! Every opportunity you get, TELL people about this. I have been for years.

Godaddy sucks. Old news :-)

They have been doing it for >1 year, which is why nobody with any brains is using them. Get out, move all domains you have on them and never go back.

You'll have the same problem at the next place you move that domain to I think. Who ever it was that complained, will notice that you've moved and complain again and you'll be back in the same boat yet again. GoDaddy and any other company is going to protect "their" ass quick and put you out.

@WG... hit me up on ICQ...

Wow sounds like a major mess! I hope you get it taken care of easily as possible.

They did it to us once, they got $74 or so but lost all our business forever.

WRONG... Other domain regsitrars don't act like Nazis.

Don't make out this is common practise amongst all registrars. This is something that in my experience GODADDY do... Nobody else. It's an underhanded, blackmailing, ransom taking mofos to increase their margins... and is total BS!!!!!!!!

godaddy is a huge global monster... the worst hosting experience i had. i've been moving all my domains to moniker since a while ago now.

Wrong mickey.

Didn't juicy have the same thread a few years ago? I'm pretty sure I remember that since then I've been telling people godaddy sucks and have seen many thread on gfy about ppl having problems with them

I used regfly until it went to shit it was chaos...now I use mostly namecheap and also have a little bit of domains on moniker too....

:winkwink:

xo

GoDaddy is fine until they get a complaint, legit or not, and then the hell begins. They've been hijacking domains this way for years, get out asap.

WG, try emailing [email protected]

it goes to bob parsons secretary, I had emailed her before, and I got an issue resolved pretty quickly.

Godaddy has always been like that. That's why you never use godaddy. You are lucky they only want $100 to unlock it. I've heard as high as $400 before.

I first posted about this a couple years back. Want someone who won't terminate your domains regardless of how many fuckers complain? Hit namecheap up. Almost as good as the 'bulletproof' domain registrars.

enom is shady too, I wouldn't move there either. I have about 20 names there but never reg any new ones.

All my others are at Moniker or Namecheap.

Is this an actual email address that works or something like [email protected] joke?
