Godaddy : Domain Renewal $21.67, seriously?

i just find it ironic that go-daddy has a laughable website. i mean, its not like they're selling ostrich burgers, they're selling websites on a shitty website. hire a piece of ass? great. how bout making your website less of a fucking mess so people know where to go to get done what they need to get done? pure rocket science.

Yep. Exactly.

I use moniker. cheap and privacy is like 4bucks.
 


Always use a coupon with Godaddy. Annoying, but it works if you have domains that you don't want to transfer elsewhere. Otherwise I agree with whoever suggested Moniker. Nice to know that you will get a decent price even on autorenew.

Um ya, Mr. Baloney. It's sugarcookie. I know it's only been one post since you saw my suggestion of moniker. So, please don't address me as "whoever".

Thank you.

FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!

Lulz
 
No customer support will ever be as bad as 1and1. When I was just getting into this game back in 07, I registered like 5 domains there (which I still have). I swear they do 99% of their business with people who just simply don't know any better. The ultimate noob trap. The customer service for their registration and hosting is FUCKING GODAMN TERRIBLE. If you call into their customer support, expect to talk to some 3rd world country outsourced customer "care" who barely speak english. Your call has to be elevated like 3x before you even get someone you can understand on the phone.

1and1 is fucking terrible in every sense of the word and if they didn't make it so ridiculous hard to move your domains from them, I would have done so long ago. Thankfully I don't have any true money sites with them and they're cheap w/ free private reg so I just put up with it.

Anyway... I have been registering all my subsequent domain names with godaddy since 08 and have not had a problem with them. It's nice to be able to talk to a real ENGLISH SPEAKING human concerning a support issue from time to time, something you just don't get with the other cheap registrars.
 
If I can offer anything to the thread it is to not get tied to just one registrar (unless you run your own). Use negotiating leverage to move domain portfolio around on a biannual basis, hedge against outages (seriously, moniker can suck a dick there), and of course there's the mountains of other reasons why putting yourself in an exclusive arrangement isn't ideal unless there's due consideration back to you for doing so.
 
I have nearly a hundred domains between Godaddy and Namecheap.

+1 for fuck Godaddy

I've been slowly transferring my shit over to Namecheap (and of course Godaddy is making it as hard as possible).

Don't that would be a mistake my WF friend.
Let's look at it this way..
Consider the cost in time it would take for the following:

Transferring sites, files, databases x(numsites).
Installing, activating and adjusting hosting settings on new host.
Creating email accounts x(numsites).
Troubleshoot all installs.

Now for me I have like 20 some odd sites. This would be a huge bitch for me to move all that and make sure there are no errors and setting up my emails and all that who-ha.

"Web Jedi" indeed.
 
Godaddy is a fuckin dream compared to Netsol. I started buying from those guys in 1994 when the domains were FREE! Truth is wasn't even buying so much as registering like a personalized license plate ! Then in 1995 it was 50 for two years. Too bad I had about 1000 and not 5k to my name let alone 50. Oh well. Flip forward 16-17 years and now net sol is assfucking me for 34.99 a year - fuckin believe that - and to to turn off auto renew I have to call every time as they pulled that toggle from the interface - then this last month they sent me email upgrading me to gaping platinumwhich belowthefold had the announce for a permanent auto-renew where everything would auto renew without me even knowing really - so only 200 domains but that adds up - so I am going to godaddy as fast as I can b/c they answer the phone and it's way cheaper. I am so fuckin battered godaddy is like heaven with Trent orTreveor or Brendan answering every time not some over-polite person someplace where they are shorter than I that doesn't know fuck . And yeah I get all you hot young Turks saying its noob to use godady but actuall young fella I was doing this shit when you were still sucking your mothers dick and it's all this old man can do to defer the shit- set up a database? I am paying people for that - I could no more setup a blahalah that change the fan belt on my car and I am not even sure my s500 has a fan belt - technology being what it is these days:)

Seriously tho I just got turned on to WF a couple months and I love the energy and the passion - I am kinda like Rocky 3 the first half of the movie where Sly is all fat and you guys are like Clubber Lang - and I love the passion and the heart and the hunger and I am getting that back reading these posts so thanks and good luck

Peace
