Godaddy says they charge $2.00 per domain for tasting!

[usedcargod]

I just got off the phone with godaddy and they say they have changed their policy and now charge $2.00 per domain for cancelled domains. In my case there were 150 of them but they "helped me out" by only charging $1.00 per domain.

Is there still a registrar that doesn't charge a cancellation fee?

That's absurd.

Moniker is only $0.25. There are others out there but I try to stick with one I know and trust.

You should bring this up to Adam. If he wants to make gd more attractive to domainers, gd needs to get rid off a couple stupid rules.

Dynadot for example.

Doesnt surprise me, Godaddy likes to charge for everything. I mean they charge you for the "privilege" to do ppc parking.

GoDaddy is tasting your wallet

Personally, I don't care. I think domain tasters (and kiters in particular) are the lowest ring in the domain food chain.

why pay $1.00 to throw something away?

or $150 in your case

lol

I thought Godaddy didn't allow tasting? I wouldn't blame them.

I think the tasting fee only applies for domain tasters, not for cancelling just a few domains a month.

yet another reason to escape godaddy- 600 names takes a long time to move ;-(

 

[VirtualT]

people still use these scammers? Unbelievable.

 

[thevirtual]

The only registrar I have seen that accepts refunds that is trying to stop domain tasters.

 

[cursal]

That is crazy! I find it hard to believe anybody would taste domains over there.

I don't use them anyway unless I get a push from sale. Then off to moniker when the renewal is close or a sale is at hand.

 

[netfounder]

we have more choice
enom cacellation fee 0.1USD per domain
resellclub fee 1.00USD
LOL

 

[VirtualT]

go Dynadot for tasting

 

[yours]

why you want to test and get charged

 

[muris]

Dynadot $0.00
Moniker $0,25 (but their reg prices are lower than Dynadot)

GD: Lots of baits and the same amount of traps. I’m trying to stay away but sometimes can't resist some deals (.tv $10.00).

Just found this and will follow up.

I am on it.

I feel your pain, I'm moving 500 out of Enom. :madgrin:

 

[A D]

I am moving 17k out of Enom, it's like pulling teeth.

Not Enom's fault just systems and epp codes and domain approvals all over the place.

[lordbyroniv]

Can somebody tell me the reasons why theyd transfer out of a particular register?
I mean GD & Enom are bad but so bad its worth the hastle of transferring?

 

[smashfactory]

the hassle lasts just a little while- its the long term relationship that is important
