GoDaddy.com removes .cc's from their site???

[IAmAllanShore]

Just went this morning to get another one I had been thinking of, and now I can't seem how to find the option to choose .cc...

It's not listed anywhere, not on the search options, and I can't even choose it by selecting foreign tlds...

This could be bad unless I'm missing something huge.

Am I blind? Temporary glitch?

From GoDaddy:

Thank you for contacting customer service. Because of maintenance, we have temporarily taken down country code registrations, but this feature should return again by tomorrow, if not sooner.

I typed in a silly 20 letter & # combo domain, just to see what happens, at www.Registerfly.com. No .tv, .cc, or .tv's showed up as available for registration. Must be updating their legacy files, systems, or whatever they are!!

Can't find the news column from verisign. Anyone has the link to it? I just reached home, so i guess I better log in to have a check on my domains too.

I noticed the same thing... made me double nervous this afternoon as I was all "hackerphobic" for a moment.

As of this post, Godaddy's mail server is still broken. Just tried to retransfer my domain again (from my corp account to personal account) and the mail server refuse to send any email to the personal account's email addy. Go figure. It's been 3 days now, hopefully GD will be able to fix the server before the weekend starts ..

Must just be Godaddy, I think everyone else is back on and ok.

Talk about freakin'
I decided to buy my first .cc a couple of days ago. I bought Him.cc.
The name was successfully pushed to my account by the seller.
I logged in & made a couple of whois changes. I wanted to forward the name but had to wait until my previous changes had occurred. I logged in later & the name was gone from my account. I looked again & again but it was gone.
I contacted GD support by phone. They couldn't have been more helpful commenting that this was not a name you want to lose. They immediately went about trying to find out what had happenrd. When I checked my account this morning at 5am MST the name was there. At 7am I receved a phone call from them to let me know the name was in there. He asked if I had received an e-mail letting me know that the name had been returned & seemed surprised when I hadn't. So maybe they are having e-mail issues.
I was very impressed with how seriously my problem was taken & how quickly it was eradicated.
Just my input on the .cc issues.
Hope it offers some insight/hope.

Yeah, their support is pretty good. I just think they could be more professional and get themselves a toll free support phone number.

Oh, I wonder why all of the other registrar's email servers went down at the same time?

Godaddy is preparing for bankruptcy. I guess that multi-million dollar superbowl ad was a mistake.

Heresay until proven

What does heresay mean?

 

[Shannara]

I may have mispelled it, but it basically means since you didnt provide any links or anything to prove that they are going bankrupt, it can only really be taken as a grain of salt and cant be believed until proven

Anybody who uses godaddy still having the same problem with their buggy email server? I'm going to call them in a few hours (on lunch) and see why their server is broken.

Small update, just got off the phone with Godaddy. They now state that domain tranfers ARE NOT instantly transferred anymore. They now have a delay of at least 7 days. Plus, there are now transfer changes. When you initiate a transfer, the sender will not get any emails for 7 days, plus the person who is getting the domain will never recieve any emails from godaddy.

This is a huge change then about a month ago. The person who is losing the domain will not know it until 7 days later or unless they check their GD account daily and see the status of the domain. Plus the person who requested the domain will never know if he would get the domain at all until 7 days later when it shows up in their account.

This sucks hardcore, godaddy should of mentioned all of these changes on their site, ... The above information is straight from godaddy.

Just a warning to all of you...
