wildx says Nov 07, 2008 06:54PM I don't understand why people would register domain names for $20 or $30 when they could get exact same ones for under $10?
djskyler Nov 07, 2008 06:33AM Sorry wildx, but GoDaddy does *not* have a good reputation - www.angelfire.com/baddaddy/ is one of many explaining the many probs w them
wildx says Nov 07, 2008 06:35AM really? It's generally regarded as quite highly recommended by people though. I haven't encountered many problems with them
djskyler Nov 07, 2008 06:41AM Yes, I also heard a lot of people talk about how great they are - everything seems fine unless a problem comes up & then they're ruined
wildx says Nov 07, 2008 06:46AM these complainants seem to have been breaching the law somehow first though: illegal private info and invalid contact info + no response
wildx says Nov 07, 2008 06:46AM as for the stealing names in split seconds thing, that could be people's own stories, I haven't seen real proof so I don't know :/
djskyler Nov 07, 2008 06:55AM Registrars are essentially brokers between customers and the "phone book" of the net - once the sale is made they should be out of your life
djskyler Nov 07, 2008 07:00AM Ahah true but GoDaddy uses that ICANN badge to really bulldoze people if it suits them - never heard of another registrar who acts like them
djskyler Nov 07, 2008 07:01AM It's true some people have used them for years, no problems, but I'll personally throw in a couple extra bucks for peace of mind
wildx says Nov 07, 2008 07:06AM I was going to use 1and1 before, but they only allowed US and UK customers back then -_
