Is It GoDaddy--Or Me?

[Lewstar]

I used to register domains through GoDaddy until I realized that Danica Patrick and her cohorts put advertisements on the domains once they were registered.

Once I found out about parking domains, I registered my domains elsewhere, at a cheaper rate. However, I have started using GoDaddy to renew domains because its price is cheaper than any other site I know--if one of the codes graciously listed on NamePros is applied to the purchase, which reduces the cost from 10 dollars and change to 7 dollars and change.

Way back when, one of the domains I registered with GD is e-same.com--which is becoming a hugely popular supplement to ward off arthritis and bone joint pain. Moreover, e-same is used widely in Europe and other countries as an anti-depressant. And when "e-same" is typed into Yahoo's search engine, "e-same.com" is one from the top.

I knew it was only a matter of time before I could sell e-same or at least make some money by parking it. But I forgot about e-same while trying to make a living, though I kept renewing it. Finally, I parked it at Sedo--or thought I did.

For the last three months, I had 9 views of e-same at Sedo and scored a whole six cents. I typed in e-same.com and was shocked to see a GoDaddy template with ads. When I went to GoDaddy to see where the servers were parked, it said "NS1 and NS2 SEDO PARKING.COM."

Frustrated, I changed the servers to those of Parked.com. And I'm glad I did. I've had e-same.com at Parked.com for only about a week and already realized some decent profit. In fact, yesterday e-same had 2 views, worth $3.14.

Sorry for going on so long. My question is simple. Why did a GoDaddy background come up when I typed in e-same.com even though the servers were listed as Sedo's? Any insight would be much appreciated.

Hi Lucinda,

It could have been a "www" or "non-www" thing. type in both and see where they take you. Otherwise, is there really a space in your "SEDO PARKING.COM" nameservers? Otherwise, How long since you reset your nameservers. If recently, they might not be fully resolved yet. Otherwise, I'd say GoDaddy are stealing some of your traffic.

Does it still happen after you delete internet files and history? Mine did the same thing for awhile also. But if all you did was change them again and it worked, im not sure. Parking names at sedo has never worked out for me, but I also didnt spend the time dialing them in like I should have. I like Parked.com.

It probably happened because Godaddy sucks.

Lewstar - I'd be careful about parking this domain name. I realize you registered it without the products in mind, but these guys could come after you for trademark infringement because of the ads you're showing.

I doubt it is godaddy's fault.
