Karma's a Bitch...

[Ms Domainer]

Karma's a bitch.

As the old saying goes, "Don't get mad, get even."

Stay tuned for more details.

By the way, MOST transgressions are not worth stewing over, but this one is a doozy, a spectacular breach between company and customer.

And I have found a way to exact an appropriate payback to two VERY BAD players in this industry.

I can't say much right now -- next week I'll be more specific.

Someone crossed the wrong person...

I'm slow to explode, but when I do...

Ka-Pow!!!​

I don't think Google entering the domain market is going to bring any particular benefits for registrants.

Besides, many of their projects have failed and were quietly abandoned. While they are immensely powerful they don't succeed at everything they do.

When Google released their parking program a few years ago, they were supposedly going to put all PPC companies out of business. But they pulled the plug.

The big corporations are not benevolent entities, and they are usually not more approachable than the smaller outfits that already exist. Seriously, do people expect that a big player will fix every wrong in this industry ?

Wait a minute! This is about registrars screwing people out of domains and money? I would've never guessed...

Here's a taste of what is to come:

If you own domains at Web.com, Network Solutions, Register.com, and Yahoo! Small Business, be sure to keep a wary eye on your digital property.
The above registrars have been known to transfer domains, without your permission or even knowledge, to a domain warehouse called New Ventures Services Corp. Some of these domains have expired, but some have not –
Some have just been plain hijacked, mostly from small business users and personal website owners, often ordinary people who have scant knowledge of the domain business.
Better yet, transfer your domain(s) to a domain registrar that places the domain rights of customers ahead of their own special interests.
Just do so well before the expiration date because.....

Still gathering details.

At first I thought Google would make a big splash, but then I remembered that registrars require some form of customer service - something Google have never done. And so far as contempt for customers goes, Google makes some of the companies you mention look like amateurs.
People who spend 1000s of dollars a month in Adwords can hardly get an audience with Google. Why would they give any time to Joe Domainer or a small website owner?

So I guess the post is going to include Name.com, Yummy names, Hover, too........ and then perhaps some smaller cases like... LuxaryDomains, limit.com, egypt.net etc etc.

Please just spill it already. Otherwise, it's sounding like rubbish or a possible bitter lashing out.

Give us the goods!

Because all Joe Domainer or Betty website owner need from support would mostly be things like "How do I change my name severs" Which are things that can be written down and hire cheap labor abroad.

On the other hand imagine the massive amount of people bitching about their search engine placement and being gouged on adwords. No wonder they don't want to talk to anyone.

 

[Kate]

We are talking about an old "player" here...

 

[Domainace]

I think you underestimate the contempt Google has for small business customers. Even outsourced support would be a reach for them.

There are no totally clean hands in this biz.

To be honest, domainers may be part of the problem; whenever we bid on and win an expired auction, we may be bidding on a property that someone else never intended to allow expire. At least Go Daddy offers a generous renewal policy. I used to think that GD's 45-day renewal policy was too generous, but now I'm leaning the other way. I still think GD should not be auctioning off expired domains at day 25 but should wait until later in the cycle.

In my research, I haven't run across anything about the companies you have mentioned, DU, but, then, I haven't conducted those specific searches. I haven't heard too many complaints about Name.com on this forum -- if anything, the reviews here seem glowing. And until Web.com acquired Register.com. it used to be a fairly decent company.

The companies I discuss seem to be especially egregious in their contempt for their customers.

I really had intended to post my story by now -- I hope by tomorrow.

All I know is that I'm probably one of 1% who got her suspended Adsense account returned in good standing.

I made my case in a cogent manner, and Google listened.

But, yes, Google can be difficult.

To compete with Go Daddy, their registrar subsidiary will have to set up an extensive support system and be responsive quickly. Google Forums will not cut it, for sure.
