1) Hope I am not violating any rules. No way in hell that I can read that damn novel you guys put up for rules. I have severe dyslexia and It would take me four - six hours to read that if I even could. SO PLEASE cut to the chase and condense all that crap...
2) Go Daddy has just lost all of my domain business. What they are doing is unethical and may well be illegal. Here's the run down. It has to do with their back orders, go figure.
Seems that some while ago GD changed how they hand;e back orders for names registered through them. Now, any name that is reged through GD automatically goes to auction. Your $18.99 is actually waste as they only give you credit for $10 as an opening bid at the auction. Now they don't start the auction until about seven weeks after the name expires. Then they hold it another 8-10 days (just in case the previous owner renews, WTF). So I ended up having to pay an extra $66 on top of my $18.99 for the name. Then they finally get it to me but they leave the registration date at the old date or expiration. So for my $84.99 I don't even get a full year registration. I basically am paying for two months that I didn't own the name. When I asked about it they say they do that cause it makes the name more valuable. Total horse shit. I could care less what a name is worth. I buy a name because I have a use for it and I expect 1st to get my back order that I paid for and 2nd to get the full year I pay for. So I wasted the $8.99 part of the back order, had to pay $66 MORE because they didn't even honor the back order I paid for, and then they cut my registration short two months. I don't have a lot of name, only about 70 or so, but you can bet your ass not one of them will be with GD after the end of the week.
FLAME OFF...
