I have no problem whatsoever with Godaddy.com

[izopod]

I've seen a rash of "I don't like Godaddy.com" threads, and I guess I would like to counter with the fact that I don't mind them a bit. You can't beat their price, and once you get used to their interface, it's second to none.

Just this last week, I once again, for the 5th time had to write enom to get an .org transferred to godaddy.com. I called Godaddy.com to see what they could do, and the gentlemen I spoke to was very courteous and was "on the ball". I had the .org names in my account within minutes.

Anyways, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in there with regards to Godaddy.com. I realize some haven't had a good experience with GD. Frankly I can relate. I have never had a good experience with ENOM. The only reason why I deal with them is because I've purchased names from other domainers who pushed the domains to me.

I agree with you about GoDaddy- totaly, and they are my favorite!
I disagree with you about Enom however.

I use both because I like them and their support - only they can prove me wrong. I also do like and use other registrars untill their support or security failes.

G'day Izopod..
If Godaddy's interface is so good, I challenge you to write the instructions here on how a buyer can accept ownership of a domain name.

haha, so intelligent (DomainMan)...

to accept ownership of a transfered domains, just click on 'Pending Account Changes' or something similiar to that

I must say, that I have been extremely satisfied with GoDaddy as a registrar. I have not used their backordering or numerous other services. I have dealt with customer services on a few occasions for domain registration and service has been prompt and very effective.

Just my $0.02.

Hahaha... YOU CAN'T! This have this anti-consumer rule: if you transfer between Godaddy acounts your name is locked at Godaddy for ANOTHER 2 months.

If you like spam, you'll LOVE Godaddy... they spam you on the site as well as email.

I don't have a problem with GoDaddy as far as registering domains, but their backorder service is flat-out useless.
Their backorder service is about equivilent to me selling backorders to clients (with no guarantee of anything at all) and manually trying to secure whatever is leftover after Pool.com and SnapNames.com take all the names they want. If you plan on backordering with GoDaddy, make sure it's a name that nobody else wants and your chances will be great =)

I guess I just had to vent for all the times I reasearched domains way in advance, placed backorders, then received the good news from GoDaddy via Email

Sorry, DOMAIN-NAME-HERE.COM Capture Attempt Unsucessful.

GoDaddy.com is by far my favorite as well. Their support and functions are all great. I've heard great things about Fabulous.com as well but have yet to try them. Godaddy's backorder service does need improvement but i have had instances where they got me domains that had snaps and bids at all the other "catching services".

Izo, you are a bit impartial though due to your love for $4.95 .biz regs!

Is it true that names which where just regged at GoDaddy cant be pushed to another GoDaddy acount before 60 days? I know we cant transfer to another registrar but is it still possible to reg a name today and push it tomorrow to another GoDaddy account?

Thanks,

Mike

Yes, You can do that at GD. Reg. one day and transfer ownership the next.

You need to push to the full whois of the new owner who then needs to pull to their GD acccount

The account name is not required by the pusher, even though 99% of people will give it to you

Thanks for the info

The thing I hated about godaddy when I first stared using them was all the ad pages 3-4 just to get to the payoment page.


BUT.. that is actually a feature that should keep prices relativelstable at GD , in that tjey pick up additional revenue all the way to the payment page ..

As much as it is a pain in the rear.. It makes me confident that GD will be around a long time as a discount register because they keep all avenues for revenues open. Those ad pages can counter the discount domain prices ( and low margins ) and help keep GD profitable.
