I have an account rep, and I get discounts. When I buy new domains I use REV3 as my savings code and I get domains for like 7 and change.

I don't love godaddy, but have never really had any major problems. So fuck it.

Got so many other things to do! :)

hey my fellow New Yorker...if that sight in your sig is yours...you might want to adjust those colors they are hard on the eyes. Check out some decent Templates/ideas here: TemplateMonster I have purchase many templates over the years from them.

I moved all my domains over to moniker as soon as that happened... Never looked back.

Amazing since they send alerts 60, 45, 30, 15, 10, and 5 days prior to the due date. It is their responsibility to ensure your credit card is current?

baddog 12-12-2009 11:31 PM

Sorry, they advise you 3 days ahead of time as well. And EVERY alert includes this line: IMPORTANT: If the credit card we have on file for you has expired or been closed, we will not be able to automatically renew your domain(s). To review and update your credit card information, log in to your account at GoDaddy.com(R), go to the Customer Info & More tab and select Credit Card and Payment Info.


People refusing to accept responsibility for their own actions are no reason to suggest that the service was poor.

Amazing since they billed me on my new credit card on the same account for the other domains i had there?

Well considering I have been a client of there's oh well lets' see since 1999... I think i might know how the system works Baddog thanks.

srhcom 12-13-2009 07:02 AM

I am in the process of getting transferred to name.com. Renewing with Godaddy was going to be $9 per domain for whois protection, and name's is free.

I think Moniker would be a good choice if only they would install 24-7 live support ...( I cant figure why they dont other than to save $$$$ as they are not a mom and pop outfit )

They were aware of it, and the problem was fixed. Do you think when they have a full company outage they don't know? So would a ton of people calling support fix the issue? It wasn't one persons domains it was everything down. It was fixed after a short time.

GoDaddy is biggest , most powerfull and cheapest.

Some things sucks but GoDaddy still rocks

donteattuna 12-13-2009 04:27 PM

I just had a negative experience with Godaddy again this week. Will lose more domains now. Seems like the price went up with them, and quality continues on the way down. Tech support telling me some incorrect BS also. Will switch from them on next renewals.

First negative with them was when they sold new domain names before they actually had them. You paid, then find out you don't own them, they would be auctioned to the highest bidder. Keep in mind this is after you "pre registered" them AND PAID. Oh, no there was no mention of auction or anything during the order and payment process. Only after you ask WTF are you informed of the smoke and mirrors. :2 cents:

brassmonkey 12-13-2009 04:33 PM

i wouldnt use godaddy even if they gave me free shit

kektex 12-13-2009 07:54 PM

Read http://nodaddy.com/

I moved all my domains from godaddy to moniker.
Godaddys control panel sucks hard. It makes my eyes bleed. Who the hell needs some AJAX bullshit to manage domains????

Mr Gump 12-14-2009 02:19 AM

I am moving some of my domains from godaddy to namecheap soon, once they are about to expire.

I just don't want to have all my eggs in one basket.
Also going to buy some gambling/poker domains soon but on UK registrars.

srhcom 12-14-2009 02:27 AM

My transfer from godaddy to name.com is complete! The only problem was I got rejected the first time for not turning off whois protection.

Pretty much all my domains are moved away from Go Daddy now.

Not been happy with their service for a while and they are too expensive by comparison.

Getting domains out of Go Daddy can be a pain at times. Having to request the code multiple times sucks.

NetHorse 12-14-2009 11:25 AM

You know, I really hate when people make vague fucking comments. "I would never use Godaddy" blah blah, "I've been hearing bad stuff". If you're going to open your fat fucking mouth give us a reason / explanation.

I always get regular mails regarding when domains are expiring, plus if "I let one go" they even give (or at least gave me) a "grace period" to reconsider, then they hold it for awhile but might charge more $$$ to get it back...

Weird you haven't got any mail whatsoever :error

Doctor Feelgood 12-14-2009 02:22 PM

i prefer godaddy cause of all the hot chicks in the commercials.
those others dont even have commercials

In 3 years of using Moniker I've only had to contact support once and had a timely response regarding a question I had about the moniker API. I've moved,transferred and sold hundreds of domains and never had an issue with them that needed contacting support.

I also never needed to contact godaddy during the time I used them, but their POS control panel makes me cry. Moniker's control panel is simple and to the point. I dont need any ajax BS to manage my domains thankyouverymuch.With godaddy, buying a domain is an adventure in to ajaxland. It's pretty annoying.

Fyodor's issues ( http://nodaddy.com/mystory.html ) with godaddy were enough for me to move all my domains. I was a subscriber to Seclists.org at that time and saw the whole thing go down. I just don't feel like owning a bunch of adult names and have them deactivated because someone complains to GD or buying whois privacy and have my identity be revealed at the first threatening email to them. ( http://news.cnet.com/Private-domains...3-5833663.html )

I know it's starting to sound like I work for Moniker, but I really dont, I'm just a happy customer, so far. I'm not saying its gonna last forever but so far so good.

jrzeygirl 12-15-2009 09:47 AM

Thanks for all the shout outs/comments/feedback. Yes it is true Moniker did have some downtime last week however the issue was fixed/resolved ASAP. No registrar is perfect?not even Go Daddy.

ClickHappy ? Moniker is currently running a .com transfer and renewal promo through the end of the month. If you or anyone has any questions please feel free to hit me up directly via email/ICQ as I don?t always get a chance to jump back onto the board!

Thanks!

Happy Holidays :winkwink:

dready 12-15-2009 12:18 PM

I don't trust GoDaddy either.

When I tried to move all my domains from DomainNameSystems, that asshole of an owner Gord made it a living hell for me. I went with Namecheap, and their support was just awesome at helping me get my names transferred. They've always been there when I've needed them.

zabijaq 12-15-2009 01:49 PM

You can use Moniker's END years special for .COM transfers
 
Moniker got special discounts until 31.12., .COM for 7.35$ (1 year regfee included) so you don't overpay nothing and you got your domains at safer place:
