One other thing I didn't like about GoDaddy was their horrible advertising. Not only the fact that they use sexual advertising, but also the fact that I considered many of them incorrect. You have the ALWAYS read the fineprint with them, never could you renew a domain for X amount off.

With Namecheap, there are always coupons floating around the net. I've saved several dollars here and there from the coupons I've found for NC.

I was thinking of using Go Daddy for some upcoming projects. I think I'll try someone else instead.

No sense in taking a risk if I don't have to.

Had a Spam complaint about 4 or 5 years ago. Showed them where my members are double opted in to receive my emails and they thanked me and nothing else ever happened.

At Register.com they pull down your website until you can prove the spam complaint wasn't your fault without notice. One day you go to your website and it's not there. When you ask what is wrong they take your info and call you back the next business day and then inform you that you have a spam complaint. On this particular website I didn't ever send out a email. It wasn't a membership site. Someone else recommended my site in a newsletter or something like that and that was enough for Register.com to pull down my site without notifying me.

It took weeks of trying to find someone at Register.com that actually had a brain at my expense because no one at there 1-800 number has anything close to a brain to get them to put back up my site. I had purchased a special in 1998 for 10 years of registration and in return I received free unlimited hosting. Keep in mind that in 1998 there were not these $7.99 per year registrars we have now and it cost around $50 or more per year to register your domain. It expires next month after 10 years at the World's worst register and I can finally transfer it over to GoDaddy!

I remember when Tim had his problem with GoDaddy originally. Tim should have had a account manager looking out for him given the amount of business he did with them and there never would have been a problem. Anyone with more then 10 domains qualifies for a account Manager but you have to request one I believe.

I wouldn't dream of using anyone else but given Tim's experience I'm sure if that had happen to me I would have moved all my domains. They have to be number 1 for some reason!

I also agree that there are tones of complaints against GoDaddy available in Internet - despite that fact GoDaddy keeps growing - and support systems getting better and better and more responsive than ever before.

If you are happy - my advice is just continue without being afraid - I am hosting with them for the last 2 years without a single problem - Even I use their Express email marketing tools.

Well Tim - you learn something new everyday!

I did not realize that something so monumental could happen from a single spam complaint!

I just bought a site and the domain is hosted with godaddy!
Now Im worried!

All the rest of my domains are with Domain.com and I have never had a problem so far - Im going there now to transfer!

Thanks for the heads up!

In one incident they went ahead and billed my Credit Card without bothering to check the facts.

Who are the best or most flexible to hold Traffic Domains ?
